PGI retrieves more than 28,000 medical case records for research, education purposes
The PGIMER, Chandigarh has retrieved approximately 28,585 medical case records and issued the same to residents authorised by consultants from various departments for research, education, and other official purposes. This initiative aims not only to enhance treatment methods but also to improve medical education and clinical research. The case records are helping doctors, resident doctors, and PhD scholars in case-based analysis for studies. These records support clinical trials, retrospective studies, treatment trend analysis, and diagnostic research. Alongside, the digitisation of patient records is ongoing, with the institute building a digital data bank to allow researchers quick and easy access to older patient files. In addition, anonymised files are being shared with resident doctors for medical education and case discussions. The case records department plays a crucial role in this process by coordinating with various departments and ensuring that records are shared securely for research, education, and administrative purposes. The department also maintains data confidentiality and patient privacy. The institute has taken constructive steps to modernise its record management system. Now, the process of requesting, tracking, and returning case files is being done digitally, making the system more transparent. A resident doctor from the Department of Medicine shared, 'earlier, it took time to get patient files, but now the file request process has become much smoother. Utilising such a large patient database for education and research is a valuable resource for doctors and medical students, and it will also help in shaping future health policies.' The diagnosis and treatment records help both research and studies extensively, and thesis and PhD projects can use actual case data, and researchers can look at patient data to compare new treatment protocols, with more availability of baseline data for multi-centre studies. Sanjay Jain, Dean (Research), PGIMER, highlighted the institute's research milestones, including securing Rs 109 crore in funding and executing 915 projects in 2023-2024. Jain noted that the Best Institutional Research Excellence Award 2024 at the DHR-ICMR Health Research Excellence Summit in New Delhi affirmed the PGIMER's leadership in medical innovation.

ICMR study finds shortfall in radiotherapy utilisation across all cancer types
Agency: Last Updated: July 24, 2025, 21:30 IST Representational image (Image: News18) New Delhi, Jul 24 (PTI) A recent ICMR study has highlighted a substantial shortfall in radiotherapy utilisation across all cancer types and underscored the need for interventions to meet the gap in machines required for equitable cancer care. Published in the BMC Cancer journal, the study stated that 28.5 per cent of cancer patients receive radiotherapy, which is lower than the estimated optimal rate of 58.4 per cent. Breast, head and neck, lung and cervical cancer account for 60 per cent of India's radiotherapy needs, it said. Data from the Australian Collaboration for Cancer Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CCORE) were used by the researchers of ICMR-National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research, Bengaluru, for conducting the study. Epidemiological data on stage, subsite and histology from the National Cancer Registry Programme were used to assess the optimal utilisation proportion for India. A sensitivity analysis was carried out. Similarly, the optimal radiotherapy fraction has also been calculated. These measures have been used to estimate the existing radiotherapy utilisation gap by comparing with the current radiotherapy utilisation from the cancer registry as well as to estimate the optimal radiotherapy machines required for the country. 'This study provides a comprehensive assessment of radiotherapy demand and existing gaps in radiotherapy utilisation and in the number of machines in India based on an epidemiological analysis of the cancer burden from the National Cancer Registry Programme. Our analysis shows that approximately 58 per cent of all cancer cases in India should ideally receive radiotherapy based on clinical indications. 'However, the current radiotherapy utilisation in India is only 28.5 per cent, which is less than half of the required level," the researchers said. The study also recommended that India would require 1,585 to 2,545 machines, which may increase to a range of 2,016 to 2,291 external beam radiotherapy machines if the assumptions from previous benchmark studies are followed. The burden of four cancer sites — breast, head and neck, lung and cervical cancer — constitutes around 60 per cent of the total radiotherapy requirement for cancer care in India, the study said. This points towards an increasing demand for radiotherapy in the coming years as there is expected to be a 70-100 per cent increase in breast, head and neck and lung cancer in low and middle income countries (LMIC). Radiotherapy utilisation of most cancer sites is lower compared to optimal radiotherapy utilisation. Among the major indicated cancer sites, the deficit is more prominent in lymphoma and lung cancer (relative deficit of more than 70 per cent), followed by prostate, breast and oesophagus, it said. The study mentioned that India accounts for 7 per cent of global cancer incidence, ranking third after China and the USA. By the end of 2025, the incidence of cancer in India is projected to reach 1.57 million cases, posing a significant public health challenge. As the fifth leading cause of death in the country, cancer demands urgent attention to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment, it said. Radiotherapy, a cornerstone of cancer treatment, plays a crucial role in controlling tumour growth, reducing tumour size pre-surgery, and alleviating pain in advanced stages. However, its availability in low and middle-income countries like India remains insufficient due to high setup and operational costs, creating a significant gap between demand and resources. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a minimum of one radiotherapy machine (external radiotherapy machine) per million population, with an optimal target of four per million, the study stated. For India's projected population of 1.45 billion in 2025, this translates to a need for a minimum of 1,450 machines. Yet, only 794 megavoltage (MV) machines are currently available. The shortfall is about 45 per cent from the minimal required standard, the study said. The study highlighted that in India, greater investment is needed to expand radiotherapy facilities to meet the growing demands of cancer patients. 'Aside from increasing the number of equipment, addressing the inequitable distribution of radiotherapy services is also crucial. To align with the country's cancer burden and ongoing cancer control efforts, India must meet evidence-based targets for radiotherapy machine availability. 'As a part of this, India is also ramping up efforts to develop and deploy affordable indigenous radiotherapy machines to improve access and reduce dependence on costly imports," the study stated. Furthermore, a detailed situational study of radiation equipment deployment with its features and complexity, utilisation and throughput is required for informed planning and policymaking. Cancer screening and early detection programmes can facilitate the diagnosis of cancers at earlier stages. This could reduce the required quantum of radiotherapy shortly and thus, improve the overall survival of patients, the study said. The cancer registry data informs the policy-makers to identify gaps in radiotherapy access, assess resource needs and guide decisions to ensure equitable and effective cancer care delivery. Swipe Left For Next Video View all Optimal radiotherapy utilisation (RTU) calculated for India was higher than optimal radiotherapy utilisation estimation done for developed countries like 48·3 per cent for Australia and 51 per cent for European countries, the study said. The optimal RTU calculation for middle income countries also has an average optimal radiotherapy utilisation value of 52 per cent ranging from 47 to 56 per cent.

The findings of this research have been published in the prestigious journal, Environment, Development and Sustainability (Springer Nature), in a paper co-authored by Prof. Poonam Kumari, along with her research scholars Abir Saha and Nikhil Dilip Kulkarni from IIT Guwahati . IIT Guwahati researchers tested four bamboo-based composite formulations consisting of Bambusa tulda fibers reinforced with bio-based or petroleum-based epoxies. By treating the bamboo fibers with alkali, the team improved its compatibility with the base polymer resulting in enhanced durability for real-world use. The developed formulations were then evaluated on 17 different parameters to test their tensile strength, thermal resistance, impact durability, water absorption and cost per kilogram, among others. While these formulations had distinct strength, none of them had all the properties to provide a balanced and high performing option. To identify the same, the team used Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM), a structured evaluation method. The results observed bamboo composite made with bio-based epoxy FormuLite as the best performing option with low moisture absorption, significant thermal stability, and mechanical strength. The cost-effective nature of the composite, priced at Rs. 4300 per kilogram, makes it an eco-friendly solution for automotive parts, such as, vehicle dashboards, door panels and seat backs, among others. Dr. Poonam Kumari said, 'Developed composite can be used for designing components/parts in consumer electronics, automobiles, aerospace, sustainable building materials etc. The product will replace wood/iron/plastic components and will have similar cost and lead to fulfil SGD goals (7,8 and 9). This development is in line with Make in India policy under Green Tech Revolution .' The team is currently conducting a full life cycle assessment of the developed composite to measure its environmental impact from production to disposal. As the next step, the research team is planning to apply industrial techniques such as compression modelling and resign transfer to scale up the production.
