Background- In present scenario, there is a lack of well established population based cancer registry in the state of Chhattisgarh. Therefore hospital records can play a major role in filling the gap. Cancer data from Chhattisgarh are very much limited. Hence, this study was planned based on hospital records of cancer patients registered at Regiona...

... In India, stomach cancer is reported as one of the top five cancer types (Jain et al., 2019). According to the study carried out by (Sinha et al., 2018), stomach cancer is reported to be within the top six types of cancer, based on the registered data on cancer patients from 2011 to 2015 at the Regional Cancer Centre of Raipur Division, Chhattisgarh. The present study area (Arang) falls within the Raipur district of Chhattisgarh. ...
Agriculture is the mainstay of India's economy and chemical fertilizers have been extensively used to meet increasing demands. Anthropogenic interventions at the soil surface, especially the application of nitrogenous fertilizers in agricultural fields, provide essential nutrients but become major pollutant sources in terrestrial ecosystems and aquatic environments. Groundwater samples from phreatic aquifers of the Mahanadi River Basin, Chhattisgarh, India, showed that the Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-HCO3ˉ freshwater type dominates, followed by the Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-Clˉ and Na⁺-HCO3ˉ types. Increasing trends in the ionic ratios of (NO3ˉ+Clˉ)/HCO3ˉ over TDS and of NO3ˉ/Clˉ over Clˉ indicated the significant impact of anthropogenic pollution on groundwater contamination. Deterministic and probabilistic approaches were used to assess the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks of nitrate to children and adults. Both approaches produced the same results and indicated children were more prone to non-carcinogenic health risk than adults. An excess gastric cancer risk (ER) exposure model showed that approximately 42% of the groundwater samples had a non-negligible ER (1.00 × 10⁻⁴ to 1.00 × 10⁻⁵). Sensitivity analysis indicated groundwater nitrate concentration, ingestion rate, and the percentage of nitrite from nitrate were the most significant variables in determining HI and ER. It is suggested to adopt proper management of control policies for reducing the elevated groundwater nitrate concentration in the present study area.
Background
Ovarian tumors are common, ranking third in frequency after cervical and uterine cancer. According to the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition Atlas 2018, India has the second-highest incidence of ovarian carcinoma worldwide. In Chhattisgarh, ovarian malignancy accounts for 5.21% of all malignancies in females.
Materials and Methods
The present descriptive observational cross-sectional study encompassed 108 cases of ovarian tumors. A histopathological examination was done, and data was compiled and analyzed.
Observations and Results
Among the 108 ovarian tumors, 59.25% were noted in women aged 40–59 years. The primary presenting symptom was abdominal pain, reported by 57.40% of the cases. The majority of ovarian tumors were unilateral, the right side being more common. Primary ovarian tumors constituted 91.66%, while 8.33% were classified as secondary or metastatic ovarian tumors. Of 108 cases, 55.5% were malignant, 40.7% were benign, and 3.7% were borderline tumors. Surface epithelial tumors accounted for 73.14% of the cases; germ cell tumors constituted 9.25%, sex cord-stromal tumors were 7.4%, and mesenchymal tumors were 1.85%. Among surface epithelial tumors, serous cystadenocarcinoma was most common. Mature cystic teratoma was the most common germ cell tumor, and granulosa cell tumor was the most common sex cord-stromal tumor.
Conclusion
Ovarian tumors were more commonly seen in the peri and postmenopausal age group. Primary malignant epithelial tumors were the most common type of ovarian tumor. The histopathological evaluation of ovarian tumors remains the gold standard for definitive diagnosis.
