    Capecitabine is an oral prodrug and converted to 5-fluorouracil using three-step enzymatic pathways which include carboxylesterase (CES). Interindividual differences in the activities of drug-metabolizing enzymes may affect efficacy and toxicity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in CES1 with the pharmacokinetic and adverse effects of capecitabine. Plasma samples were obtained from 7 breast and colorectal cancer patients who were treated with capecitabine-based chemotherapy (1000-1250 mg/m(2)) at 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours following drug administration on their first day of the first cycle. The plasma concentrations of the capecitabine were determined by using a high-pressure liquid chromatography-UV detector. SNP (rs8192950) was genotyped using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Patients were found to have heterozygote (57\%), wild (29\%), and mutant (14\%) distributions of genotypes (p=0.909). The mean plasma area under the curve (AUC(0-4h)) was 4.60 +/- 2.25 mu g.h/mL, and maximum plasma concentration (C-max) was 3.19 +/- 2.5 mu g/mL. There were no statistically significant differences between genotypes and AUC values (p=0.2236) and the most frequently observed side effects were diarrhea (p=0.1028), asthenia (p=0.6456), anemia (p=0.6456), emesis (p=0.3499). This is the first study evaluating an association of genetic variation in CES1 (rs8192950) with pharmacokinetic and adverse effects of capecitabine. Therefore, additional study in larger groups of patients is required to support our study.

    Three Cases of Breast Metastases from Lung Cancer and Systematic Review of the Literature
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2021-01-01) Guldogan, Nilgun; Icten, Gul Esen; Tokat, Fatma; Tutar, Burcin; Kara, Halil; Korkmaz, Taner; Uluc, Basak Oyan; Demir, Gokhan
    Despite the high prevalence of lung cancer among other primary tumors, metastasis of this particular malignancy in the breast is very rare. We report three new cases of lung cancer with breast metastases and discuss radiological and clinical findings. Radiologically, each case displayed different characteristics. First, one of them had bilateral superficially and deeply located irregular lesions. Second, the patient presented with findings similar to inflammatory breast cancer. The third case had a circumscribed mass, resembling a benign complicated cyst. To guide clinicians for proper patient management, radiologists should be aware of the scope of typical and atypical imaging findings of metastatic involvement of the breast.
