    The effect of low HER2 expression on treatment outcomes in metastatic hormone receptor positive breast cancer patients treated with a combination of a CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy: A multicentric retrospective study
    (2023-08-01) SARI, MURAT; ÇALIŞKAN YILDIRIM E., ATAĞ E., Coban E., Umit Unal O., Celebi A., Keser M., UZUN M., KESKİNKILIÇ M., Tanrikulu Simsek E., Sari M., et al.
    Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy have significantly improved treatment outcomes for metastatic hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer patients. However, the impact of low HER2 expression on treatment response and progression-free survival (PFS) remains unclear. Methods: This multicenter retrospective study included 204 HR+ breast cancer patients treated with a combination of CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy. HER2-zero disease was detected in 138 (68%) and HER2-low disease in 66 (32%) patients. Treatment-related characteristics and clinical outcomes were analyzed, with a median follow-up of 22 months. Results: The objective response rate (ORR) was 72.7% in the HER2 low group and 66.6% in the HER2 zero group (p = 0.54). Median PFS was not significantly different between the HER2-low and HER2 zero groups (19 months vs.18 months, p = 0.89), although there was a trend toward longer PFS in the HER2-low group for first-line treatment (24 months progression-free survival rate 63% vs 49%). In recurrent disease, the median PFS was 25 months in the HER2-low group and 12 months in the HER2-zero group (p = 0.08), while in de novo metastatic disease, the median PFS was 18 months in the HER2-low group and 27 months in the HER2-zero group (p = 0.16). The order of CDK4/6 inhibitor use and the presence of visceral metastasis were identified as independent variables affecting PFS. Conclusion: Low HER2 expression did not significantly impact treatment response or PFS in HR+ breast cancer patients treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy. Because of the conflicting results in the literature, further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the clinical significance of HER2 expression in HR+ breast cancer.

    PNI as a potential add-on biomarker to improve the IMDC intermediate prognostic score
    (2023-10-01) BAYOĞLU, İBRAHİM VEDAT; SEVER, NADİYE; YAŞAR, ALPER; ARIKAN, RUKİYE; SARI, MURAT; KÖSTEK, OSMAN; BAYOĞLU İ. V., Hüseynov J., Topal A., Sever N., Majidova N., Çelebi A., Yaşar A., ARIKAN R., Işık S., Hacıoğlu M. B., et al.
    Introduction: This study aimed to assess the role of the adjusted PNI-IMDC risk scoring system in stratifying the intermediate group of metastatic RCC patients who received TKIS in the first-line setting. Methods: A total of 185 patients were included. The adjusted PNI and IMDC model was used to divide the intermediate group into two groups: intermediate PNI-high and intermediate PNI-low groups. The statistical data were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression analysis. Results: The results showed that the adjusted PNI-IMDC risk score, classic IMDC, and PNI had similar prognostic values. Adjusted PNI-IMDC risk score might be used for a more homogeneous differentiation of the classic intermediate group. On the other hand, multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of nephrectomy, adjusted favorable/intermediate (PNI-high) group, ECOG performance score, and presence of bone metastasis were independent predictors of OS. Conclusions: Pre-treatment PNI, as a valuable and potential add-on biomarker to the adjusted PNI-IMDC classification model, can be helpful for establishing an improved prognostic model for intermediate group mRCC patients treated with first-line TKISs. Further validation studies are needed to clarify these findings.

    Prognostic significance of mucinous histology in metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with regorafenib
    (2023-01-01) ARIKAN, RUKİYE; DEMİRCAN, NAZIM CAN; YAŞAR, ALPER; SEVER, NADİYE; ÇELİKEL, ÇİĞDEM; SARI, MURAT; KÖSTEK, OSMAN; BAYOĞLU, İBRAHİM VEDAT; ARIKAN R., Üstün H. S., Demircan N. C., Işik S., Telli T. A., Yaşar A., Çelebi A., Majidova N., Sever N., ÇELİKEL Ç., et al.
    Objective: Prognostic factors for regorafenib therapy have not been fully defined. Mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) is a dis-tinct subtype of colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated the significance of mucinous histology in patients treated with regorafenib for metastatic CRC (mCRC). Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, patients were stratified according to the presence of mucinous histology; >1% extracellular mucin was defined as mucinous component adenocarcinoma (MCAC), and containing no mucin was defined as non-MAC. The prognostic significance of mucinous histology for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: A total of 103 patients were included, including 20 (19.4%) patients with MCAC and 83 (80.6%) patients with non-MAC. The median follow-up time was 8.6 months (range 1.8-31.6 months). The median PFS was lower in cases with MCAC than those with non-MAC (3.2 months vs. 3.6 months, respectively, p=0.01). Median OS was lower in MCAC patients than in non-MAC patients (4.3 months vs. 9.6 months, respectively, p=0.008). In multivariate analyses, mucinous histology was an independent risk factor [haz-ard ratio (HR): 2.2, p=0.003] for PFS and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-Performance Status (HR: 2.2, p=0.01), cancer antigen 19-9 (HR: 1.7, p=0.03), and mucinous histology (HR: 1.9, p=0.02) were independent risk factors for OS. Conclusion: This study revealed the prognostic value of mucinous histology in mCRC patients treated with regorafenib. Consideration of histologic features may be helpful in se-lecting patients for regorafenib therapy.
