+CGP comprehensive analysis
Helped clinch this entity
Clinical Snapshot:
Problem was
Neither IHC could tell u source of origin
Nor CGP tells u what origin is this..it tells u about Fusion which has no target therapy.
Only when u go in depth of this fusion
this special distinct entity emerges

Comparative dosing of bevacizumab for radiation necrosis: impact of tumor type on edema response

SPECT-guided active bone marrow-sparing radiotherapy (ABMS-VMAT), + with prophylactic pegylated G-CSF, can reduce severe neutropenia during platinum-doublet CTRT for locally advanced cervical cancer.

Ph II
Patients received either 40 Gy/5# or 36 Gy /3 #, followed by surgery 4–14 d later.
