Publication Open Access Adoption of pleurectomy and decortication for malignant mesothelioma leads to similar survival as extrapleural pneumonectomy(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2016-02) YILDIZELİ, BEDRETTİN; Batirel, Hasan Fevzi; Metintas, Muzaffer; Caglar, Hale Basak; Ak, Guntulu; Yumuk, Perran Fulden; Yildizeli, Bedrettin; Yuksel, MustafaObjective: We changed our surgical approach to malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) in August 2011 and adopted pleurectomy and decortication (PD) instead of extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP). In this study, we analyzed our perioperative and survival results during the 2 periods. Methods: All patients who underwent surgical intervention for MPM during 2003-2014 were included. Data were retrospectively analyzed from a prospective database. Before August 2011, patients underwent evaluation for EPP and adjuvant chemoradiation (group 1). After August 2011, patients were evaluated for PD and adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation (group 2). Demographic characteristics, surgical technique, histology, side, completeness of resection, and types of treatments were recorded. Statistics was performed using Student t test, chi(2) tests, uni- and multivariate regression, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results: The same surgical team operated on 130 patients. Median age was 55.7 years (range, 26-80 years) and 76 were men. EPP and extended PD was performed in 72 patients. Ninety-day mortality was 10%. Median survival was 17.8 months with a 5-year survival rate of 14%. Uni- and multivariate analyses showed that epithelioid histology, stage N0, and trimodality treatment were associated with better survival (P=.039, P=.012, and P<.001, respectively). Demographic variables and overall survival (15.6 vs 19.6 months, respectively) were similar between the groups, whereas nonepithelioid histology, use of preoperative chemotherapy, and incomplete resections were more frequent in group 2 (P<.001, P<.001, and P=.006, respectively). Follow-up was shorter in group 2 (22.5 +/- 20.6 vs 16.4 +/- 10.9 months; P<.001). Conclusions: Adoption of PD as the main surgical approach is not associated with survival disadvantage in the surgical treatment of MPM.Publication Metadata only QT interval prolongation related to afatinib treatment in a patient with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2020) KOCAKAYA, DERYA; Demircan, Nazim Can; Telli, Tugba Akin; Tuylu, Tugba Basoglu; Arikan, Rukiye; Kocakaya, Derya; Sahin, Ahmet Anil; Ercelep, Ozlem; Dane, Faysal; Yumuk, Perran FuldenAfatinib improves survival in metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer driven by activating epidermal growth factor receptor mutations. QT interval prolongation is a possible side effect of tar geted anticancer drugs, but this has not been reported before with afatinib. We report a case of metastatic pulmonary adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor exon 19 deletion who was treated with first-line afatinib. The patient was started on afatinib with a total dose of 40 mg/day and experienced grade 3 (> 500 ms) QT interval prolongation in the seventh week. Dose was interrupted and then reduced to 30 mg/day after the event repeated. QT prolongation occurred only once with the reduced dose and radiologic oligoprogression was detected. Local therapy was performed and afatinib was continued as 30 mg/day. To the best of our knowledge, this case marks the first QT interval prolongation associated with afatinib. It is prudent to perform a baseline cardiologic evaluation and electrocardiogram monitoring in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with this drug. (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc.

Gemcitabine (G) is a novel deoxycitidine analogue that has been proven to be a potent radiosensitizer. Twenty-two consecutive patients were treated with concurrent CRT to demonstrate the tolerability and efficacy of low dose G given weekly as radiosensitizer in stage III NSCLC. Methods: Patients with KPS >= 70, adequate bone marrow reserve, with no prior radiotherapy (RT) and surgery were included. Eighteen patients had received prior induction chemotherapy (CT). G (75 mg/m(2)/week) was infused over 1 hour for 6 weeks. Thoracic RT was given two hours later over 6 weeks at 1.8 Gy/day fractions (total dose of 61.2 Gy). Pulmonary toxicity was evaluated with computed tomography scans in 6 weeks. Results: Median age was 60 years (range, 48-75), median follow-up was 15 months (range, 2-40). Sixty-eight percent of patients were male and median KPS score was 90. Conformal 3D-RT planning was used in 64% of patients. G was given for a median of 5 weeks ( range 1-9). Twelve patients (54.6%) received all planned CT. G was stopped because of intolerance in 6 and death in 2 patients. Seven patients (31.8%) had radiation pneumonitis. Twenty patients were evaluated for overall response, 1 patient (4.5%) had clinical CR, 81.8% had PR while 9.5% had SD. Median overall survival (OS) was 14 +/- 5 months (95% CI 3-25). One- and 2-year OS rates were 55% and 38%. Sixteen patients died of disease-related events (6 with progression of primary tumor, 8 due to metastatic disease), 2 patients died of other causes. One- and 2-year progression- free survival and local control rates were 56%, 27% and 79%, 51%, respectively. Conclusion: G might be used as radiosensitizer for patients with stage III NSCLC who could not receive full doses CT with concurrent RT.Publication Metadata only Enzalutamide versus Abiraterone Acetate as first-line treatment of castration resistant metastatic prostate cancer in geriatric (>= 75) patients(IMR PRESS, 2021) YUMUK, PERRAN FULDEN; Alkan, Ali; Guc, Zeynep Gulsum; Gurbuz, Mustafa; ozgun, Guliz; Degirmencioglu, Serkan; Dogan, Mutlu; Telli, Tugba Akin; Keskin, Ozge; Arslan, Cagatay; Bilgin, Burak; Goksu, Sema Sezgin; Demir, Hacer; Koksoy, Elif Berna; Kostek, Osman; Erturk, Ismail; Sakalar, Teoman; Yasar, Arzu; Turkkan, Gorkem; Kasim, Bu ra; Karaoglu, Aziz; oksuzoglu, Berna cakmak; Yumuk, Fulden; Sendur, Mehmet Ali; Coskun, Hasan Senol; cicin, Irfan; Karadurmu, Nuri; Tanriverdi, Ozgur; Akbulut, Hakan; Urun, YukselIntroduction: The efficacy and tolerability of Enzalutamide and Abiraterone Acetate have been reported in elderly patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, there is no randomized study directly comparing antitumor effects between these 2 agents in geriatric patients. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Enzalutamide (ENZA) and Abiraterone Acetate (AA) as a first-line treatment of mCRPC in elderly patients. Materials and methods: The geriatric patients (>= 75 years of age) with a diagnosis of mCRPC and treated with first-line ENZA or AA were included. The impacts of clinical parameters and treatment modalities on overall survival (mOS) were analyzed retrospectively and Cox regression analysis was performed. Results: One hundred thirty-four mCRPC patients (77 in AA, 57 in ENZA), with a median age of 81 (75-93) were analyzed. The patient and disease characteristics were similar between arms. While there were more grade 1-2 toxicities in AA arm (45.5% vs 17.5%, P = 0.001), the discontinuation due to toxicity was similar between groups (8.5% vs 5.9%, P = 0.81). The mOS was 18.0 months (95% CI, 15.2-20.7) in AA, and 20.0 months (95% CI, 4.4-35.5) in ENZA arm (P = 0.47). In multivariate analysis, high Gleason score (>= 8) (HR: 2.0 (95% CI, 1.1-3.4), P = 0.009) and high initial PSA values (>= 100 ng/mL) (HR: 2.6 (95% CI, 1.5-4.8), P = 0.001) were poor prognostic factors. The choice of AA vs ENZA was insignificant as a predictor of OS (HR: 0.87 (95% CI, 0.48-1.56), P = 0.65). Conclusion: In the first-line treatment of mCRPC in elderly (>= 75) patients, AA and ENZA showed similar results in terms of mPFS and mOS. The clinical impacts of second-generation androgen receptor pathway inhibitors in the elderly population should be tested in prospective randomized studies.Publication Open Access Role of clinical oncology pharmacist in determination of pharmaceutical care needs in patients with colorectal cancer(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-03) SANCAR, MESUT; Tezcan, Songul; Izzettin, Fikret Vehbi; Sancar, Mesut; Turhal, Nazim Serdar; Yumuk, Perran FuldenObjective To determine and evaluate the pharmaceutical care needs and quality of life of patients with colorectal cancer. Methods 36 Patients with colorectal cancer eligible for chemotherapy after surgery were included in the study. The patients were followed up during 3 courses of chemotherapy and individual pharmaceutical care plans were developed. The quality of life of patients was evaluated before and after the third course of chemotherapy. Results The incidence of drug-related problems (DRPs) in chemotherapy-treated patients was reduced in the 3rd course as compared with 1st course (63.9% vs 75%, respectively; n = 36; p > 0.05). The clinical oncology pharmacist gave 147 recommendations to patients, which were followed in 98% (n = 144) of cases. 91.7% (n = 132) of the recommendations of clinical oncology pharmacists solved the drug-related problems; however, the remaining 8.3% (n = 12) did not solve the problems and the patients were referred to a doctor for further investigations. The symptom-related quality of life of patients related to anaemia, diarrhoea and neurotoxicity was reduced after the third course of chemotherapy (p < 0.05). Conclusions The pharmaceutical care provided by the clinical oncology pharmacist has an important role in the identification and resolution of DRPs. Evaluation of symptom-related quality of life is important for the monitoring of patients receiving chemotherapy.Publication Metadata only The real-life efficacy and safety of osimertinib in pretreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with T790M mutation: a Turkish Oncology Group Study(SPRINGER) YUMUK, PERRAN FULDEN; Hizal, Mutlu; Bilgin, Burak; Paksoy, Nail; Acikgoz, Ozgur; Sezer, Ahmet; Gurbuz, Mustafa; Ak, Naziye; Yucel, Sebnem; Ayhan, Murat; Erol, Cihan; Demirkiran, Aykut; Mandel, Nil Molinas; Shbair, Abdallah; Gokmen, Ivo; Basoglu, Tugba; Paydas, Semra; Demiray, Atike Gokcen; Iriagac, Yakup; Sakalar, Teoman; Zeynelgil, Esra; Tatli, Ali Murat; Bahceci, Aykut; Guven, Deniz Can; Caner, Burcu; Can, Alper; Gulmez, Ahmet; Karakas, Yusuf; Yalcin, Bulent; Demirkazik, Ahmet; Bilici, Ahmet; Aydiner, Adnan; Yumuk, Perran Fulden; Sendur, Mehmet Ali NahitIntroduction Osimertinib, an irreversible third-generation EGFR-TKI, is the standard of care for second-line treatment of T790M-mutant advanced NSCLC patients whose disease progressed after first-line EGFR-TKI therapy. In this multicenter study, we aimed to determine the real-life efficacy and safety of Osimertinib in pretreated advanced NSCLC patients with T790M mutation. Materials and methods This retrospective trial included advanced T790M-mutant pretreated NSCLC patients who received Osimertinib from 24 different centers in Turkey. Primary endpoint was time-to-treatment discontinuation (TTD). Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results Of 163 patients, 68.7% had EGFR exon 19 deletion and 22.7% had exon 21 L858R mutation. Osimertinib was given as second-line treatment in 96 patients (58.9%) and third-line in 48 patients (29.4%). After median of 13-month follow-up, median TTD was 21.6 months with an 82.2% ORR. Estimated median OS was 32.1 months. Grade 3-4 adverse events were seen in 11.7% of the patients. Conclusion Osimertinib is a highly effective option in second- or third-line treatment of NSCLC patients with T790M mutation, with a favorable safety profile.Publication Open Access Prognostic factors of perioperative FLOT regimen in operable gastric and gastroesophageal junction tumors: real-life data (Turkish Oncology Group)(2022-01-01) YUMUK, PERRAN FULDEN; Erol C., Sakin A., Başoglu T., Özden E., ÇABUK D., Doğan M., Öksüzoğlu B., YILDIRIM H. Ç. , Öner İ., Karakurt Eryilmaz M., et al.© TÜBİTAK.Background/aim: Perioperative FLOT regimen is a standard of care in locally advanced operable gastric and GEJ adenocarcinoma. We aimed to determine the efficacy, prognostic factors of perioperative FLOT chemotherapy in real-life gastric and GEJ tumors. Materials and methods: The data of patients who were treated with perioperative FLOT chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed from 34 different oncology centers in Turkey. Baseline clinical and demographic characteristics, pretreatment laboratory values, histological and molecular characteristics were recorded. Results: A total of 441 patients were included in the study. The median of age our study population was 60 years. The majority of patients with radiological staging were cT3-4N(+) (89.9%, n = 338). After median 13.5 months (IQR: 8.5–20.5) follow-up, the median overall survival was NR (95% CI, NR to NR), and median disease free survival was 22.9 (95% CI, 18.6 to 27.3) months. The estimated overall survival at 24 months was 62%. Complete pathological response (pCR) and near pCR was achieved in 23.8% of all patients. Patients with lower NLR or PLR have significantly longer median OS (p = 0.007 and p = 0.033, respectively), and patients with lower NLR have significantly longer median DFS (p = 0.039), but PLR level did not affect DFS (p = 0.062). The OS and DFS of patients with better ECOG performance scores and those who could receive FLOT as adjuvant chemotherapy instead of other regimens were found to be better. NLR was found to be independent prognostic factor for OS in the multivariant analysis. At least one adverse event reported in 57.6% of the patients and grade 3–4 toxicity was seen in 23.6% patients. Conclusion: Real-life perioperative FLOT regimen in operable gastric and GEJ tumors showed similar oncologic outcomes compared to clinical trials. Better performance status, receiving adjuvant chemotherapy as same regimen, low grade and low NLR and PLR improved outcomes in real-life. However, in multivariate analysis, only NLR affected OS.Publication Open Access Assessment of Palliative Care in Lung Cancer in Turkey(KARGER, 2017) YUMUK, PERRAN FULDEN; Bulbul, Y.; Ozlu, T.; Arinc, S.; Ozyurek, B.

E.; Teke, T.; Besiroglu, M.; Can, H.; Dalli, A.; Talay, F.Objective: To investigate the symptoms of lung cancer in Turkey and to evaluate approaches to alleviate these symptoms. Subjects and Methods: This study included 1,245 lung cancer patients from 26 centers in Turkey. Demographic characteristics as well as information regarding the disease and treatments were obtained from medical records and patient interviews. Symptoms were evaluated using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) and were graded on a scale between 0 and 10 points. Data were compared using the. 2, Student t, and Mann-Whitney U tests. Potential predictors of symptoms were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Results: The most common symptom was tiredness (n = 1,002; 82.1%), followed by dyspnea (n = 845; 69.3%), appetite loss (n = 801; 65.7%), pain (n = 798; 65.4%), drowsiness (n = 742; 60.8%), anxiety (n = 704; 57.7%), depression (n = 623; 51.1%), and nausea (n = 557; 45.5%). Of the 1,245 patients, 590 (48.4%) had difficulty in initiating or maintaining sleep. The symptoms were more severe in stages III and IV. Logistic regression analysis indicated a clear association between demographic characteristics and symptom distress, as well as between symptom distress (except nausea) and well-being. Overall, 804 (65.4%) patients used analgesics, 630 (51.5%) received treatment for dyspnea, 242 (19.8%) used enteral/parenteral nutrition, 132 (10.8%) used appetite stimulants, and 129 (10.6%) used anxiolytics/antidepressants. Of the 799 patients who received analgesics, 173 (21.7%) reported that their symptoms were under control, and also those on other various treatment modalities (dyspnea: 78/627 [12.4%], appetite stimulant: 25/132 [18.9%], and anxiolytics/antidepressants: 25/129 [19.4%]) reported that their symptoms were controlled. Conclusion: In this study, the symptoms progressed and became more severe in the advanced stages of lung cancer, and palliative treatment was insufficient in most of the patients in Turkey.

N.; Seker, M.; Urun, Y.; Yildirim, N.; Eren, T.; Demirci, U.PurposeIn this study, we aimed to describe the real-life practice outcomes of pertuzumab-trastuzumab-taxane (PTT) combination in visceral organ metastatic, trastuzumab-naive breast cancer (BC) patients.MethodsThis study was conducted by Turkish Oncology Group and included 317 patients' data from 36 centers.ResultsMedian age was 51 (22-82). Median PFS was 28.5months, while median OS was 40.3months. Patients with brain metastases (n: 13, 4.1%) had worse PFS (16.8m vs. 28.5m; p=0.002) and OS (26.7m vs. 40.3m; p=0.009). Patients older than 65years of age (n: 42, 13.2%) had significantly lower OS results (19.8m vs. 40.3m; p=0.01). Two hundred sixty-eight patients (86.7%) received docetaxel while 37 patients (11.7%) received paclitaxel. PFS and OS were similar between taxane groups. In eight patients (2.5%), 5-40% ejection fraction decrement from baseline was detected without any clinical sign of heart failure.ConclusionsOur RLP trial included only visceral metastatic, trastuzumab-naive BC patients including cases with brain involvement who received PTT combination in the first-line treatment. Regardless of negative prognostic characteristics, our results are in parallel with pivotal trial. Further strategies for brain metastasis should be developed to improve outcomes despite encouraging results with PTT treatment. Taxane selection can be personalized and endocrine maintenance may further improve outcomes after taxanes were discontinued. To our knowledge, this is the largest scale real-life clinical practice study of pertuzumab-trastuzumab-taxane therapy to date.Publication Open Access Is insulin resistance a predictor for complete response in breast cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant treatment?(BMC, 2020-12) DANE, FAYSAL; Alan, Ozkan; Akin Telli, Tugba; Aktas, Bilge; Koca, Sinan; Okten, Ilker Nihat; Hasanov, Rahib; Basoglu, Tugba; Arikan, Rukiye; Demircan, Nazim Can; Ercelep, Ozlem; Kaya, Serap; Ugurlu, Mustafa Umit; Kaya, Handan; Akgul Babacan, Nalan; Dane, Faysal; Yumuk, Perran FuldenPurpose Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the standard front-line treatment modality in locally advanced breast cancer. Achieving pathological complete response (pCR) is a significant prognostic factor for prolonged disease-free and overall survival. Insulin resistance is defined as a pathological condition in which insulin effect is impaired in peripheral target tissues such as the skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue. The relationship between breast cancer and insulin resistance is controversial. In this study, our aim is to evaluate the role of insulin resistance, body mass index (BMI), metabolic syndrome, and inflammation markers to predict complete response in breast cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant treatment. Methods Data from 55 locally advanced non-diabetic breast cancer patients, treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy between 2015 and 2017, were retrospectively evaluated. Homeostatic model assessment, IR = insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated by using the obtained insulin and fasting blood glucose values before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (fasting insulin x fasting glucose/405). We considered a cut-off of 2.5 for insulin resistance. The systemic inflammatory index (SII), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were calculated. Results Twenty-five patients had no insulin resistance. The most common pathologic subtype (56%) was hormone receptor (HR) positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (Her-2)-negative invasive ductal carcinoma. Sixteen (29%) patients had a pathological complete response (pCR). We found that the probability of pCR in patients with insulin resistance was 4.7 times lower than that in patients without insulin resistance [OR: 4.7 (95%CI 1.7-17.2),p= 0.01]. Conclusion Our results revealed that insulin resistance may have a negative effect on pathological complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant therapy particularly with hormone-positive and Her-2-negative cases of non-diabetic breast cancer.
