    Adult Spinal Deformity Over 70 Years of Age: A 2-Year Follow-Up Study
    (INT SOC ADVANCEMENT SPINE SURGERY-ISASS, 2019-01-01) Karabulut, Cem; Ayhan, Selim; Yuksel, Selcen; Nabiyev, Vugar; Vila-Casademunt, Alba; Pellise, Ferran; Alanay, Ahmet; Sanchez Perez-Grueso, Francisco Javier; Kleinstuck, Frank; Obeid, Ibrahim; Acaroglu, Emre; Grp, European Spine Study
    Background: Treatment of adult spinal deformity (ASD) in elderly patients remains controversial. The aim of this study was to identify the factors leading to the surgical treatment by comparing the baseline characteristics of operative versus nonoperative patients, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of surgery, and to compare operative and nonoperative management of elderly ASD patients at the end of the 2-year follow-up period. Methods: Retrospective review of a multicenter, prospective ASD database was performed. Patients over 70 years of age with ASD who were scheduled to undergo surgical treatment and who were treated and/or followed without surgical intervention participated in the study. Demographic, clinical, surgical, and radiological characteristics and health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) (Core Outcome Measures Index {[}COMI], Oswestry Disability Index {[}ODI], Short-Form-36 Mental Component Summary {[}SF-36 MCS], Short-Form-36 Physical Component Summary {[}SF36-PCS], and Scoliosis Research Society-22 {[}SRS-22]) parameters of such group of patients were evaluated pre-and posttreatment. Results: A total 90 patients (females: 71, males: 29

    Clinicohistopathological features and treatment outcomes of neuroendocrine tumors: a single center experience
    (CUKUROVA UNIV, FAC MEDICINE, 2018-01-01) Sedef, Ali Murat; Kose, Fatih; Sumbul, Ahmet Taner; Mertsoylu, Huseyin; Besen, Ali Ayberk; Sezer, Ahmet; Ozyilkan, Ozgur; Abali, Huseyin
    Purpose: Tumor and patient characteristics of neuroendocrine tumors (NET) significantly change between geographical locations that probably induced by environmental and genetic factors throughout the world. Therefore, reporting single center experience may help clarifying epidemiological view and improving decision-making process. Materials and Methods: We performed retrospective analysis of 115 patients of NETs those who followed by Baskent University, department of Medical Oncology and department of General Surgery to record patients and tumors characteristics, treatment modalities, survival rates, and prognostic factors. Results: Median overall survival (OS) time for all group and localized NETs were 44 and 24 months, respectively. Most common primary site was found as gastrointestinal system and then pancreatic region. Curative surgical resection rate was 46\% and 8.5\% of patients presented with carcinoid syndrome. Liver metastasis was far the most common metastatic site compared to lung, bone, and lymph node metastasis. Over 70 percent of patients were treated with chemotherapy and somatostatin analogs. Conclusion: Patients with higher grade, male gender, and advanced age (>65 years old) had poor survival rate. However, relatively low number of patients and less usage of (<10\%) of new treatment modalities created limitations for producing future directions from our study.
