    Abstract Introduction: The Punjab Cancer Registry's catchment area includes the districts of Faisalabad and Nankana Sahib. It is an observational and descriptive study that covers the 3 years from 2017 to 2019, evaluating the distribution of cancer in these two districts.
    Material and methods: Data on incident cancer cases diagnosed between 2017 and 2019 among residents of Faisalabad and Nankana Sahib in Pakistan, reported by the participating centres of the Registry, were reviewed retrospectively. Figures and proportions for adults, children and adolescents were computed.
    Results: During 2017 and 2019, 5678 cases were reported from Faisalabad and 390 from Nankana Sahib, with over 50% seen in females. In both districts combined, among adult females, cancers of the breast, reproductive system, and hepatobiliary system were commonly diagnosed, while cancer of the lip/oral cavity/pharynx, hepatobiliary system and non-Hodgkin lymphoma were the leading diagnoses among adult males. In children and young adults (0-19 years), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma were the most common diagnoses.
    Conclusion: The cancer distribution reported from Faisalabad and Nankana Sahib is of utmost importance. However, the underreporting of cancer cases cannot be ruled out. More input from the collaborators is needed to ensure the completeness of cancer surveillance in the region.

    Abstract Down syndrome (DS) is the commonest chromosomal disorder and is considered to be the most common syndrome associated with acute leukaemia. The objective of this study was to determine the characteristics of acute leukaemia in children with DS in Pakistan. It was a retrospective, cohort study conducted over a 2-year period, and the data was analysed in SPSS 20.0 in terms of descriptive statistics. Nineteen DS patients with acute leukaemia were enrolled. The proportion of DS-acute leukaemia was found to be 1.84% among all cases of paediatric acute leukaemia. The mean age of presentation was 5.5 years ± 4.3 SD with a male to female ratio of 1.1:1. The precursor B-cell ALL was found in 13 (68.4%) and acute myeloid leukaemia was found in 6 (31.6%) patients of DS. Thirteen patients (68.4%) completed treatment, while 6 (31.6%) expired due to treatment-related toxicity. Mean overall survival was 38 months ± 5.34 SD. The status of diagnosis of DS before presentation with acute leukaemia was the only statistically significant factor associated with the outcome. Few distinct characteristics of DS-acute leukaemia have been found in our population. Treatment toxicity was the sole cause of treatment failure.

    Abstract Objectives: This study with sequential
    Materials and methods: In this single-center, randomized, blinded study, four brain
    Results: A total of 14 patients received 40 Hz for four weeks before crossing over to 10,000 Hz/4000 Hz. A total of 57 PET-CT scans (15 for baseline and 14 each for 40 Hz, 4000 Hz, and 10,000 Hz) were analyzed for maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), with a statistically significant difference in SUVmax between 40 Hz and baseline (p = 0.002) and 4000 Hz and baseline (p = 0.001) when pooled across 18 pain matrices. There was no statistical difference in SUVmax between 10,000 Hz and baseline. The pooled analysis showed a proportionately higher thalamic region reduction (59.5%) in metabolic activity than other pain matrices, PFC (52%), insula (50%), ACC (52%), SSCII (49%), and PAG (52%).
    Conclusion: This large cohort of brain PET scans (n = 57) shows statistically significant differences in brain metabolic activity at 40 Hz and 4000 Hz from baseline, with effect on both nociceptive and affect-cognitive pathways (proportionately higher reduction in the thalamus), highlighting the possible mechanism of SCS.
    Clinical trial registration: The Clinicaltrials.gov registration number for the study is NCT03716557.

    Abstract Introduction: Nociceptive signals from lumbar intervertebral discs ascend in the sympathetic chain via the L2 dorsal root ganglion (L2 DRG), a potential target for discogenic low back pain in neuromodulation. Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET-CT) measures functional changes in the brain metabolic activity, identified by the changes in the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) as determined by the changes of F-18 Fluoro-deoxyglucose (
    Methods and materials: Nine patients were recruited to explore the changes in PET-CT imaging at baseline and four-weeks post implantation of bilateral L2 DRG neurostimulation leads and implantable pulse generator (IPG). PET-CT scans were performed 30 min following an IV injection of 250±10% MBq of
    Results: Nine patients were recruited to the study, where PET-CT imaging data for five patients were analyzed. The right and left insular cortex, primary and secondary somato-sensory cortices, prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, thalamus, amygdala, hippocampus and the midline periaqueductal areas, were assessed for any changes in the metabolic activity. A total of 85 pain matrix regions were delineated SUV (standardized uptake value)
    Conclusion: This is the first ever study reporting the changes in cerebral metabolic activity and multi-frame static brain

    Abstract Purpose: Communication is a fundamental aspect of patient- and family-centered care. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of evidence regarding pediatric cancer communication in low- and middle-income countries, where over 90% of all children with childhood cancer live. The purpose of this study was to explore barriers and facilitators of quality communication within two pediatric cancer centers in Pakistan.
    Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 multidisciplinary pediatric cancer clinicians and 18 caregivers of children with cancer at Children's Hospital of Lahore and Indus Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Interviews were conducted in English or Urdu, audio-recorded, transcribed, and translated to English. Two researchers coded each transcript using an inductively derived codebook. Thematic content analysis focused on barriers and facilitators of high-quality communication.
    Results: Pakistani clinicians and caregivers identified factors that affected the quality of patient-centered cancer communication. These included structural factors including setting, available interpreters, documentation, patient volume, teamwork, and financial support. Clinician-level communication barriers and facilitators included communication training, clinician distress/boundaries, and the ability to have recurrent conversations. Patient or family characteristics affecting communication included education, income status, primary language, and geography; the child's specific disease type; and relational elements such as social support, empowerment, and split decision makers. Participants identified existing or potential interventions related to each factor.
    Conclusion: Multilevel factors serve as either barriers or facilitators for pediatric cancer communication in Pakistan. Identification of these elements of communication is an essential step toward interventions aimed at improving patient- and family-centered care in resource limited settings.
