Metastasis-Induced Acute Pancreatitis Successfully Treated with Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy in a Patient with Small Cell Lung Cancer
(HINDAWI LTD, 2015-01-01) Okutur, Kerem; Bozkurt, Mustafa; Korkmaz, Taner; Karaaslan, Ercan; Guner, Levent; Goksel, Suha; Demir, Gokhan
Although involvement of pancreas is a common finding in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), metastasis-induced acute pancreatitis (MIAP) is very rare. A 50-year-old female with SCLC who had limited disease and achieved full response after treatment presented with acute pancreatitis during her follow-up. The radiologic studies revealed a small area causing obliteration of the pancreatic duct without mass in the pancreatic neck, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) confirmed the metastasis of SCLC. The patient was treated successfully with systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy delivered to pancreatic field. In SCLC, cases of MIAP can be encountered with conventional computed tomography with no mass image, and positron emission tomography and EUS-FNA can be useful for diagnosis of such cases. Aggressive systemic and local treatment can prolong survival, especially in patients with good performance status.

The geographical location and differences in tumor biology significantly change the management of gastric cancer. The prevalence of gastric cancer ranks fifth and sixth among men and women, respectively, in Turkey. The international guidelines from the Eastern and Western countries fail to manage a considerable amount of inconclusive issues in the management of gastric cancer. The uncertainties lead to significant heterogeneities in clinical practice, lack of homogeneous data collection, and subsequently, diverse outcomes. The physicians who are professionally involved in the management of gastric cancer at two institutions in Istanbul, Turkey, organized a consensus meeting to address current problems and plan feasible, logical, measurable, and collective solutions in their clinical practice for this challenging disease. The evidence-based data and current guidelines were reviewed. The gray zones in the management of gastric cancer were determined in the first session of this consensus meeting. The second session was constructed to discuss, vote, and ratify the ultimate decisions. The identification of the T stage, the esophagogastric area, imaging algorithm for proper staging and follow-up, timing and patient selection for neoadjuvant treatment, and management of advanced and metastatic disease have been accepted as the major issues in the management of gastric cancer. The recommendations are presented with the percentage of supporting votes in the results section with related data.
Primary Adrenal Lymphoma with Secondary Central Nervous System Involvement: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
(GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2013-01-01) Aydin, Kubra; Okutur, Kerem; Bozkurt, Mustafa; Aydin, Ozlem; Namal, Esat; Ozturk, Akin; Pilanci, Kezban Nur; Kucukkaya, Reyhan Diz; Demir, Osman Gokhan
Approximately 10\%-20\% of all systemic lymphomas have central nervous system (CNS) involvement, which has been correlated to a worsened prognosis. It is well known that secondary involvement of the adrenal glands may occur in up to 25\% of patients during the course of diffuse lymphoma. Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL), however, is a different entity, and it is defined as the presence of adrenal lymphoma without evidence of either nodal involvement or leukemia. It has been shown that this occurrence is rarely accompanied by extranodal involvement, such as in the CNS. PAL exhibits a tendency for CNS relapse and this possibility should be examined even before symptoms are present. Herein we present a patient with PAL and secondary CNS involvement.
The Impact of Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin Levels on Thromboembolic Events at Patients with Advanced Stage Adenocarcinoma
(KARE PUBL, 2022-01-01) Bozkurt, Mustafa
OBJECTIVE Several studies have shown that increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with hormonal contraceptives is mediated through the sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) through different pathways. Assuming SHBG as surrogate marker for hormonal stimulus as an increasing risk factor for VTE, we investigated if background SHBG has any impact on VTE in patient with advanced stage adenocarcinoma. Blood drawn from patients with VTE (n=45) and from patients without VTE (non-VTE
