Publication Metadata only Neoadjuvan kemoterapi uygulanan meme kanserli olgularda güvenli tümör-meme ucu mesafesini meme MR öngörebilir mi?(2022-02-24) UĞURLU, MUSTAFA ÜMİT; AKMERCAN, AHMET; BUĞDAYCI, ONUR; KAYA, HANDAN; AKOĞLU, HALDUN; GÜLLÜOĞLU, MAHMUT BAHADIR; UĞURLU M. Ü., AKMERCAN A., BUĞDAYCI O., KAYA H., AKIN TELLİ T., AKOĞLU H., GÜLLÜOĞLU M. B.Publication Metadata only Prognostic Role of Immune Markers in Triple Negative Breast Carcinoma(SPRINGER, 2020) KAYA, HANDAN; Sahin Ozkan, Hulya; Ugurlu, Mustafa Umit; Yumuk, Perran Fulden; Kaya, HandanTumor immune microenvironment (TIME) is a significant prognostic parameter for triple negative breast carcinomas (TNBC) due to being a target for immunotherapeutic agents and its essential role during the cancer immunoediting process. In this study, CD8, FOXP3, CD163, PD-L1/SP142 and PD-L1/SP263 antibodies were examined in a sample of 51 TNBC cases. Patients who received neoadjuvant therapy were excluded. CD8, FOXP3 and CD163 antibodies were evaluated separately in intratumoral area (ITA) and tumor stroma (TS). PD-L1 status was also examined in tumor cells (TC) and immune cells (IC) using both SP142 and SP263 antibodies. In multivariate Cox regressions, the only antibody that was found to be significantly associated with survival was SP142. SP142-positivity in TC and IC was related to increased overall survival. Higher CD163 expression in ITA and SP263-positivity in IC were associated with younger age. Lymphatic/angioinvasion was more frequent in cases with negative/low CD8 and FOXP3 expressions. Moreover, metastatic axillary lymph node(s) was associated with negative/low FOXP3 expression in TS. CD8, FOXP3, CD163, SP142 and SP263 expressions were positively correlated with each other, except a mild discordance caused by CD163 in ITA. Although PD-L1 status with both SP142 and SP263 antibodies were concordant in the majority of cases, 33.3% and 13.7% of the cases showed SP142-negative/SP263-positive pattern in TC and IC respectively. In conclusion, we suggest that composition, density and localization of the immune cells and the check point molecules are important prognostic parameters in TNBC. Immunohistochemistry can be used as an accessible and less expensive tool to demonstrate TIME.Publication Metadata only Myoepithelial differentiation in breast carcinoma(Il Pensiero Scientifico Editore s.r.l., 2008) KAYA, HANDAN; Kaya H., Güllüoǧlu B., Aribal E.Background. The aim of presenting this work is to describe a matrix producing carcinoma with anaplastic myoepithelial cell foci, with the coexistence of in situ myoepithelial carcinoma which originated from a sclerosing adenosis. Case report. A 51-year-old perimenopausal woman presented with a hard irregular lump in her left breast. After histological confirmation of malignancy, the patient underwent a modified radical mastectomy. The tumor was composed of a sclerosed fibroadenoma and preexisting sclerosing adenosis with poorly differentiated overt carcinoma within the cartilaginous matrix. There were foci of ordinary, intermediate-grade carcinoma in situ and myoepithelial carcinoma in situ. Results. We performed immunohistochemistry by the streptavidin-biotin horseradish peroxidase method. Estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor were negative, and so was c-erbB-2. Both the invasive and the in situ components were positive for CK7, CK19, CK14, vimentin, smooth muscle actin, nerve growth factor receptor, and epidermal growth factor receptor. By contrast, CK5/6 immunoexpression was found only in me in situ component. Negativity was found for p63 and CD10 within the tumor. While cytoplasmic bcl-2 immunoexpression was detected in some of the tumor cells of the invasive component, intranuclear p53 expression was found to be positive not only in the invasive component but also in the in situ component of the tumor. Conclusion. The histopathological findings and the immunohistochemistry results support the derivation of the tumor from myoepithelial cells.Publication Metadata only Distribution pattern of the Ki67 labelling index in breast cancer and its implications for choosing cut-off values(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2014) KAYA, HANDAN; Cserni, Gabor; Voeroes, Andras; Liepniece-Karele, Inta; Bianchi, Simonetta; Vezzosi, Vania; Grabau, Dorthe; Sapino, Anna; Castellano, Isabella; Regitnig, Peter; Foschini, Maria Pia; Zolota, Vassiliki; Varga, Zsuzsanna; Figueiredo, Paulo; Decker, Thomas; Focke, Cornelia; Kulka, Janina; Kaya, Handan; Reiner-Concin, Angelika; Amendoeira, Isabel; Callagy, Grace; Caffrey, Emer; Wesseling, Jelle; Wells, CliveThe Ki67 labelling index (LI - proportion of staining cells) is widely used to reflect proliferation in breast carcinomas. Several cut-off values have been suggested to distinguish between tumours with low and high proliferative activity. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the distribution of Ki67 LIs in breast carcinomas diagnosed at different institutions by different pathologists using the method reflecting their daily practice. Pathologists using Ki67 were asked to provide data (including the LI, type of the specimen, receptor status, grade) on 100 consecutively stained cases, as well as details of their evaluation. A full dataset of 1709 carcinomas was collected from 19 departments. The median Ki67 LI was 17% for all tumours and 14% for oestrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative carcinomas. Tumours with higher mitotic counts were associated with higher Ki67 LIs. Ki67 LIs tended to cluster around values ending with 5 or 0 both in cases where the values were obtained by counting the proportion of stained tumour cell nuclei and those where the values were obtained by estimation. On the basis of the distribution pattern described, some currently used Ki67 LI cut off values are not realistic, and it is proposed to select more realistic values ending with 0 or 5.

A.Expression of the neonatal splice variant of the voltage-gated sodium channel alpha-subunit (VGSC) subtype Nav1.5 (nNav1.5), encoded by the gene SCN5A, was shown earlier to be upregulated in human breast cancer (BCa), both in vitro and in vivo. Channel activity promoted BCa invasion of Matrigel (R) in vitro and metastasis in vivo. Consequently, expression of nNav1.5 has been proposed as a functional biomarker of BCa cells with metastatic potential. Here, we have determined immunohistochemically both nNav1.5 and total VGSC (tVGSC) protein expression in a range of adult human tissues. Some VGSC protein was expressed in normal colon, small intestine, stomach, prostate, bladder and breast. As expected, high levels of VGSC protein were expressed in brain, skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. On the other hand, nNav1.5 protein was not expressed in any of the normal tissues tested except breast where a low-level of protein was present. In comparison to normal breast, nNav1.5 protein expression in BCa was consistently widespread and occurred at a significantly higher level. We also questioned whether there was any relationship between the nNav1.5 protein expression and the estrogen receptor (ER alpha) status of BCa and obtained the following results. First, all cases lacking nNav1.5 were positive for ERa. SOecond, in all ER alpha-negative tissues, nNav1.5 protein was expressed in plasma membrane. Third, however, in ER alpha-positive cases, nNav1.5 protein expression was observed in both plasma membrane and cytoplasm. In conclusion, nNav1.5 protein has a restricted expression pattern among human tissues. High level expression occurs in BCa and associates with ERa status. These results further support the proposition that nNav1.5 is a novel biomarker of metastatic BCa. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH.

Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of the BI-RADS category 3 assessments at opportunistic screening. Material and Methods Mammography charts of 9062 screening patients in a major teaching hospital situated in an urban setting of a developing country were evaluated retrospectively (1997-2010). BI-RADS category 3 patients, called for a 6-month follow-up, which comprised a single-view spot or magnification mammogram. The length of follow-up period, compliance to periodic mammographic surveillance, cancer detection rate, and negative predictive values of category 3 assessments were calculated. Results Of the screened population, 9.2% were assigned BI-RADS category 3, and 31.2% of these cases were lost to follow-up. The mean follow-up period for 606 patients was 36.9 months. The negative predictive values for 6-month, 12-month, and final control studies were 90.9%, 87.5%, and 100%, respectively. Patient compliance for 6 months, 12 months, and any control evaluations beyond 12 months was low (50.0%, 29.8%, and 47.5%, respectively). Cancer detection rate was 0.8%. Conclusion Results of the study supports the feasibility of the BI-RADS category 3 assessments at opportunistic screening without any additional diagnostic workup. The practice of category 3 assessment following screening mammograms may be a more cost-effective method for developing countries with high recall rates and low resources in eliminating the maximum risk with minimum cost within the limits of available resources.Publication Open Access Identification of Differentially Expressed IGFBP5-Related Genes in Breast Cancer Tumor Tissues Using cDNA Microarray Experiments(MDPI AG, 2015-11-10) GÜLLÜ AMURAN, GÖKÇE; Akkiprik, Mustafa; Peker, Irem; Ozmen, Tolga; Amuran, Gokce Gullu; Gulluoglu, Bahadir M.; Kaya, Handan; Ozer, AyseIGFBP5 is an important regulatory protein in breast cancer progression. We tried to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between breast tumor tissues with IGFBP5 overexpression and their adjacent normal tissues. In this study, thirty-eight breast cancer and adjacent normal breast tissue samples were used to determine IGFBP5 expression by qPCR. cDNA microarrays were applied to the highest IGFBP5 overexpressed tumor samples compared to their adjacent normal breast tissue. Microarray analysis revealed that a total of 186 genes were differentially expressed in breast cancer compared with normal breast tissues. Of the 186 genes, 169 genes were downregulated and 17 genes were upregulated in the tumor samples. KEGG pathway analyses showed that protein digestion and absorption, focal adhesion, salivary secretion, drug metabolism-cytochrome P450, and phenylalanine metabolism pathways are involved. Among these DEGs, the prominent top two genes (MMP11 and COL1A1) which potentially correlated with IGFBP5 were selected for validation using real time RT-qPCR. Only COL1A1 expression showed a consistent upregulation with IGFBP5 expression and COL1A1 and MMP11 were significantly positively correlated. We concluded that the discovery of coordinately expressed genes related with IGFBP5 might contribute to understanding of the molecular mechanism of the function of IGFBP5 in breast cancer. Further functional studies on DEGs and association with IGFBP5 may identify novel biomarkers for clinical applications in breast cancer.Publication Metadata only Meme kanserinde neoadjuvan kemoterapi sonrası es-zamani: Rekonstrüksiyon güvenli midir? 5 yıllık tek merkez onkolojik sonuçlar(2022-09-18) UĞURLU, MUSTAFA ÜMİT; AKMERCAN, AHMET; SAÇAK, BÜLENT; AKDENİZ DOĞAN, ZEYNEP DENİZ; KAYA, HANDAN; BUĞDAYCI, ONUR; GÜLLÜOĞLU, MAHMUT BAHADIR; UĞURLU M.

S., DEDE F., KAYA H., Ugurlu U., Ozgen Z., Koca S., Halil S., et al.© 2017 Zerbinis Publications. All rights reserved.Purpose: Current evaluation of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) shows that it could achieve pathological complete response (pCR). The purpose of this study was to assess the consistency of maximum uptake values (SUVmax) changes and pCR in hormone-positive locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Methods: Ninety hormone-positive LABC patients treated at Marmara University Medical Oncology Clinic, Istanbul, Turkey, between 2009 and 2015 were retrospectively studied. All eligible patients (n=51) received NAC (4-8 cycles) and were evaluated for pCR. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) scan was performed before and after the completion of NAC. The relative changes of SUVmax both in the primary tumor and the axilla were assessed for consistency with pCR. Results: The patient median age was 46 years (range 26-76). The patients 13.7% achieved pCR. Values of >50% (n=40) and 75% SUVmax changes could achieve pCR of 20%. Interestingly, most patients with complete metabolic response did not achieve pCR (81%). The difference of the Ki67 levels before and after NAC, tumor localization, HER-2 positivity, menopausal status, grade of differentiation, lymphovascular and perineural invasion were not associated with pCR. Conclusion: SUVmax changes in later cycles of NAC as commonly practised in oncology clinics were not consistent with pCR (p=1.0). Complete metabolic response may not be associated with pCR in hormone-positive LABC. However, almost 80% of patients had >50% decrease in SUVmax and may still have a chance for conservative surgery and less postoperative morbidity. Therefore, 18F-FDG-PET/CT may still have a role to evaluate the tumor response with a need of larger studies and analysis for cost-effectiveness.Publication Metadata only Meme Kanserinde IGFBP5 yüksek ekspresyonu ile ilişkili gen ekspresyon profili(2015-10-27) PEKER EYÜBOĞLU, İREM; GÜLLÜOĞLU, MAHMUT BAHADIR; KAYA, HANDAN; AKKİPRİK M., PEKER EYÜBOĞLU İ., ÖZMEN T., GÜLLÜ AMURAN G., GÜLLÜOĞLU M.
