    Differences in PET/CT standardized uptake values involvement and survival compared to histologic subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2021) BOZKURTLAR, EMİNE; Ercelep, Ozlem; Alan, Ozkan; Telli, Tugba A.; Tuylu, Tugba B.; Arikan, Rukiye; Demircan, Nazim Can; Simsek, Eda T.; Babacan, Nalan A.; Kaya, Serap; Dane, Faysal; Bozkurtlar, Emine; Ones, Tunc; Lacin, Tunc; Yumuk, Perran Fulden
    Purpose: Lung adenocarcinoma is histologically diverse but has distinct histologic growth patterns. There is no consensus on the clinical benefit of this histologic model. We aimed to evaluate the differences in the distribution of the preoperative primary tumor positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) standardized uptake values (SUVs) and survival in the lung adenocarcinoma subtypes. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the data of 107 patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma who had preoperative PET/CT between 2005 and 2017 in a single center. Patients had lepidic, acinar, papillary, micropapillary, and solid histologic subtypes. We compared fluorodeoxyglucose SUVs and survival data of histologic subtypes. Results: The median age of the patients was 62 years (40-75), 76.4% were male, the median SUVmax was 9.4 (1-36.7), and the median follow-up time was 29 months (3-135 months). The median overall survival (OS) was 71 months and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 33 months. SUVmax was significantly different in histologic subtypes: values for papillary, micropapillary, solid, acinar, and lepidic subtypes were 9.7, 8, 12, 9.1, and 3.9, respectively (p= 0.000). Solid predominant adenocarcinoma had significantly higher SUVmax than the other subtypes (p= 0.001). Lepidic predominant adenocarcinoma had significantly lower SUVmax than the other subtypes (p= 0.000). There was no significant difference in OS between histologic subtypes (p= 0.66), but PFS was significantly different between the groups (p= 0.017), and the solid subtype had a shorter PFS than the other histologic subtypes. Conclusion: Lung adenocarcinoma consists of a diverse group of diseases. Different SUVmax values are seen in different histologic subtypes of nonmetastatic lung adenocarcinoma. Solid predominant types have high SUVmax values while lepidic predominant types have lower SUVmax values. The solid subtype had a shorter PFS than the other histologic subtypes.

    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 Fulden
    Afatinib 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. All rights reserved.

    A rare case of gastric cancer with bilateral breast metastasis during pregnancy
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2021) MEMİŞOĞLU, ASLI; Basoglu, Tugba; Telli, Tugba Akin; Demircan, Nazim Can; Arikan, Rukiye; Ercelep, Ozlem; Ozguven, Salih; Soysal, Sunullah; Memisoglu, Asli; Dane, Faysal; Yumuk, Perran Fulden
    Background Gastric cancer is rare during pregnancy and often diagnosed at a later stage due to overlapping symptoms of pregnancy. Breast metastasis of gastric cancer is another uncommon entity. We present a rare case of breast metastasis of gastric cancer during pregnancy. Case report A 26-year-old female was diagnosed with gastric cancer at 14 weeks of gestation and underwent total gastrectomy. She rejected adjuvant chemotherapy and continued pregnancy without any follow-up. Cancer recurred in bilateral breasts at 34th week of gestation mimicking primary inflammatory breast cancer. Management and outcome It was difficult to diagnose breast metastasis during pregnancy because of overlapping pregnancy symptoms. Following an unresponsive period to antibiotherapy, a fine needle biopsy on breast was performed and signet cell adenocarcinoma metastasis was determined. We started chemotherapy after delivery. There was a near complete response after first line of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, cancer was relapsed within three months and we started second-line chemotherapy. Discussion To our knowledge, this is the fourth case reported in medical literature of gastric cancer presented with breast metastasis during pregnancy. We will try to draw attention to diagnosis, treatment and different presentation of gastric cancer during pregnancy with review of the literature.

    Prognostic factors in progressive high-grade glial tumors treated with systemic approach: A single center experience
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2021) ATASOY, BESTE MELEK; Alan, Ozkan; Telli, Tugba Akin; Tuylu, Tugba Basoglu; Arikan, Rukiye; Demircan, Nazim Can; Ercelep, Ozlem; Kaya, Serap; Babacan, Nalan Akgul; Atasoy, Beste M.; Bozkurt, Suheyla; Bayri, Yasar; Gul, Dilek; Ekinci, Gazanfer; Ziyal, Ibrahim; Dane, Faysal; Yumuk, P. Fulden
    Purpose Malignant high-grade gliomas are the most common and aggressive type of primary brain tumor, and the prognosis is generally extremely poor. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the outcome of systemic treatment in recurrent high-grade glioma patients and the impact of prognostic factors on survivals. Methods Data from 114 patients with recurrent high-grade glioma who received systemic treatment and followed in our clinic between 2012 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, age, gender, histology, type of surgical resection, side effects after systemic treatment (deep vein thrombosis, hypertension, proteinuria), IDH1 and alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) mutation status were investigated as prognostic factors for progression-free survival and overall survival. Results At the time of diagnosis, the median age was 48 (17-77) and 68% of the patients were male. Most common pathologic subtype was glioblastoma multiforme (68%). Median follow-up duration was 9.1 months (1-68 months). Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 6.2 months and 8 months, respectively. In multivariate analysis, ECOG PS, deep venous thrombosis and the presence of ATRX and IDH1 mutation were found to be independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival (p < 0.05) and, ECOG PS, the presence of ATRX and IDH1 mutation for overall survival (p < 0.05). Conclusion Our study is real life data and the median progression-free survival and overall survival rates are similar to the literature. We have found ECOG PS, presence of ATRX and IDH1 mutation to be independent prognostic factors for both progression-free survival and overall survival.

    Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score, Prognostic Nutritional Index and ECOG Performance Score Predicts Survival Better than Sarcopenia, Cachexia and Some Inflammatory Indices in Metastatic Gastric Cancer
    (ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021) DANE, FAYSAL; Demirelli, Bulent; Babacan, Nalan Akgul; Ercelep, Ozlem; Ozturk, Mehmet Akif; Kaya, Serap; Tanrikulu, Eda; Khalil, Suleyman; Hasanov, Rahib; Alan, Ozkan; Telli, Tugba Akin; Koca, Sinan; Aribal, Mustafa Erkin; Kuzan, Beyza; Dane, Faysal; Yumuk, Perran Fulden
    Background: Gastric carcinoma (GC) patients usually present with locally advanced or metastatic disease; therefore treatment aim is mainly palliation. In this study our purpose is to analyze the prognostic values of the sarcopenia index (SI), cachexia index (CIn) and other inflammatory indexes (advanced lung cancer inflammation index [ALI], modified Glasgow Prognostic Score [mGPS], prognostic index [PI], prognostic nutritional index [PNI] and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR]) in metastatic GC patients. Methods: Data from the files of metastatic GC patients, who applied to Medical Oncology outpatient clinic in Marmara University Pendik Education and Research Hospital between January 2011 and June 2016, were retrospectively reviewed. Five hundred seventy patients with gastric cancer were detected. Exclusion criteria were the inability to reach the patient surveys for prognostic index calculations, the presence of additional comorbidities to affect the laboratory parameters, and the absence of metastatic disease. Finally, 87 of these patients were included in this study. For SI calculation L3 level muscle area was measured from patients' computed tomography (CT) by a radiologist. SI reference value was obtained from western-EGWSOP (The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People) and eastern (Harada Y, et al.) sources separately, as Turkey doesn't have a reference value for SI. NLR cutoff value was accepted as the median value of patients' NLR measurements. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression models were used to assess independent prognostic factors. The area under the curve was used to compare the prognostic value of indexes. Results: The median length of follow-up of 87 patients was nine months (1-64 mo,/s), and 78 patients died during follow-up. Fifty-nine patients were male (63%), and the median age was 62 (range, 23-88). According to univariate analysis high mGPS and PI score, PNI level <45, NLR level >= 3.41, ALI level <18, CI level under 35, SI (Harada Y, et al) <= 44.5 for males and <= 36.5 for females, ECOG score >= 2, weight loss more than 10% during last 6 mo, BMI under 24 were poor prognostic factors. Age, gender, having multiple organ metastasis, history of gastric surgery, positivity C-erb-B2, SI (EGWSOP) <= 52.4 for males, and <= 38.4 for females did not have any impact on survival. According to multivariate analysis, high mGPS (score 2) (HR 2,494, 95% CI 1.25-4 .94, p = 0.02), PNI (score 1) (HR 4.2, 95% CI 1.73-10.1, p < 0.001) and ECOG score (>= 2) (HR 1.541, 95% CI 1,089-4,214, p = 0.004) have been found to be independent prognostic factors which are determining the survival. mGPS was found to be more valuable than other indexes for predicting mortality by measuring the AUC with ROC analysis. Conclusions: In our study, mGPS, PNI and ECOG score were independent indicators for shorter survival in metastatic gastric cancer patients. mGPS and PNI, which can be done by using only serum CRP, albumin level and complete blood count, might be inexpensive, practical and beneficial to use in routine clinical practice to determine survival.
