Faruk; Gocmen, Ahmet; Seydaoglu, Gulsah; Gumurdulu, Derya; Ayhan, AliThis study was conducted to compare the long-term oncological outcomes of laparotomy and laparoscopic surgeries in endometrial cancer under the light of the 2016 ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO risk classification system, with particular focus on the high-intermediate- and high-risk categories. Using multicentric databases between January 2005 and January 2016, disease-free and overall survivals of 2745 endometrial cancer cases were compared according to the surgery route (laparotomy vs. laparoscopy). The high-intermediate- and high-risk patients were defined with respect to the 2016 ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO risk classification system, and they were analyzed with respect to differences in survival rates. Of the 2745 patients, 1743 (63.5\%) were operated by laparotomy, and the remaining were operated with laparoscopy. The total numbers of high-intermediate- and high-risk endometrial cancer cases were 734 (45\%) patients in the laparotomy group and 307 (30.7\%) patients in the laparoscopy group. Disease-free and overall survivals were not statistically different when compared between laparoscopy and laparotomy groups in terms of low-, intermediate-, high-intermediate- and high-risk endometrial cancer. In conclusion, regardless of the endometrial cancer risk category, long-term oncological outcomes of the laparoscopic approach were found to be comparable to those treated with laparotomy. Our results are encouraging to consider laparoscopic surgery for high-intermediate- and high-risk endometrial cancer cases.Item The Outcome of Patients with Triple Negative Breast Cancer: The Turkish Oncology Group Experience(AVES, 2014-01-01) Eralp, Yesim; Kilic, Leyla; Alco, Gul; Basaran, Gul; Dogan, Mutlu; Dincol, Dilek; Demirci, Senem; Icli, Fikri; Onur, Handan; Saip, Pinar; Haydaroglu, AyferObjective:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is generally considered as a poorer prognostic subgroup, with propensity for earlier relapse and visceral involvement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of non-metastatic TNBC patients from different centers in Turkey and identify clinical and pathologic variables that may effect survival. Materials and Methods:Between 1993-2007, from five different centers in Turkey, 316 nonmetastatic triple negative breast cancer patients were identified with follow-up of at least 12 months. The data was collected retrospectively from patient charts. The prognostic impact of several clinical variables were evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier and Cox multivariate anayses. Results:Mean age at diagnosis was 49 years (range:24-82). The majority of the patient group had invasive ductal carcinoma (n:260, 82.3\%) and stage II disease (n:164Item Comparison of stage III mucinous and serous ovarian cancer: a case-control study(BMC, 2018-01-01) Cuylan, Zeliha Firat; Karabuk, Emine; Oz, Murat; Turan, Ahmet Taner; Meydanli, Mehmet M.; Taskin, Salih; Sari, Mustafa Erkan; Sahin, Hanifi; Ulukent, Suat C.; Akbayir, Ozgur; Gungorduk, Kemal; Gungor, Tayfun; Kose, Mehmet F.; Ayhan, AliBackground: The purpose of this case-control study was to compare the prognoses of women with stage III mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) who received maximal or optimal cytoreduction followed by paclitaxel plus carboplatin chemotherapy to those of women with stage III serous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treated in the similar manner. Methods: We performed a multicenter, retrospective review to identify patients with stage III MOC at seven gynecologic oncology departments in Turkey. Eighty-one women with MOC were included. Each case was matched to two women with stage III serous EOC in terms of age, tumor grade, substage of disease, and extent of residual disease. Survival estimates were measured using Kaplan-Meier plots. Variables predictive of outcome were analyzed using Cox regression models. Results: With a median follow-up of 54months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) for women with stage III MOC was 18.0months (95\% CIItem Staging with PET-CT in Patients with Locally Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer is Superior to Conventional Staging Methods in Terms of Survival(ASIAN PACIFIC ORGANIZATION CANCER PREVENTION, 2013-01-01) Mutlu, Hasan; Buyukcelik, Abdullah; Erden, Abdulsamet; Aslan, Tuncay; Akca, Zeki; Kaya, Eser; Kibar, Mustafa; Seyrek, Ertugrul; Yavuz, Sinan; Calikusu, ZuleyhaBackground: Of patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), around one third are locally advanced at the time of diagnosis. Because only a proprotion of stage III patients can be cured by surgery, in order to improve the outcomes, sequential or concurrent chemoradiation, or concurrent chemoradiation with induction or consolidation is offered to the patients with locally advanced NSCLC. Today, PET combined with computerized tomography (PET-CT) is accepted as the most sensitive technique for detecting mediastinal lymph node and extracranial metastases from NSCLC. We aimed to compare PET-CT and conventional staging procedures for decisions regarding curative treatment of locally advanced NSCLC. Materials and Methods: A total of 168 consecutive patients were included from Acibadem Kayseri Hospital, Acibadem Adana Hospital and Kayseri Research and Training Hospital in this study. Results: While the median PFS was 13.0 +/- 1.9 months in the PET-CT group, it was only 6.0 +/- 0.9 in the others (p<0.001). The median OS values were 20.5 +/- 15.6 and 11.5 +/- 1.5 months, respectively (p<0.001). Discussion: As a result, we found that staging with PET CT has better results in terms of survival staging. This superiority leads to survival advantage in patients with locally advanced NSCLC.Item Does Sunlight Exposure Improve Survival in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer?(ASIAN PACIFIC ORGANIZATION CANCER PREVENTION, 2013-01-01) Mutlu, Hasan; Buyukcelik, Abdullah; Aksahin, Arzu; Kibar, Mustafa; Cihan, Yasemin Benderli; Kaya, Eser; Seyrek, Ertugrul; Yavuz, Sinan; Erden, Abdulsamet; Calikusu, Zuleyha; Aslan, Tuncay; Akca, ZekiBackground: Some epidemiological studies reported that sunlight exposure and highvitamin D levels may decrease the morbidity and mortality related to cancer. We aimed to evaluate whether sunlight exposure has an impact on survival in patients with non small cell lung cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 546 patients with NSCLC from two different regions (Kayseri and Adana) differing according to sunlight exposure were analysed retrospectively. Results: The median overall survival (OS) rates were 11. 6 (CI: 9.50-13.6) and 15.6 months (CI: 12.4-18.8) for Kayseri and Adana, respectively, in all patients (p=0.880). Conclusions: There were no differences between groups in terms of OS. While there is strong evidence regarding inverse relationship between cancer incidence and sunlight exposure, it is still controversial whether sunlight exposure is a good prognostic factor for survival in patients with lung cancer.Item Is Season a Prognostic Factor in Breast Cancer?(ASIAN PACIFIC ORGANIZATION CANCER PREVENTION, 2013-01-01) Mutlu, Hasan; Akca, Zeki; Cihan, Yasemin Benderli; Kurnaz, Fatih; Aslan, Tuncay; Erden, Abdulsamet; Ugur, Hediye; Aksahin, Arzu; Buyukcelik, AbdullahBackground: Some studies have indicated an inverse relationship between cancer risk and sunlight exposure. Others have reported that the prognosis of some cancers such as prostate, colon, ovarian and non melanoma skin cancer, were affected by the season in which the cancer was diagnosed. In our study, we evaluated whether season is prognostic in Turkish patients with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 517 patients from Kayseri Training and Research Hospital were analysed retrospectively. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to season of cancer diagnosis: winter, spring, summer and autumn. The prognostic factors for disease free survival and overall survival were investigated. Results: No significant differences were found among groups regarding prognostic factors overall. Only estrogen receptor status and lymphovascular invasion were independent prognostic factors (p=0.001 and p=0.001 respectively). We found significantly differences for mean disease free survival among groups (p=0.019). Winter group had better mean DFS while summer group had worse DFS. Mean overall survival was similar in the four groups (p=0.637). Conclusions: The season is not an independent predictive factor. However, due to interaction with other factors, we think that the season of cancer diagnosis is important for cancer prognosis.Item Secondline Chemotherapy Versus Best Supportive Care in Patient with Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: A Retrospective Study(ASIAN PACIFIC ORGANIZATION CANCER PREVENTION, 2013-01-01) Mutlu, Hasan; Buyukcelik, Abdullah; Karaca, Halit; Aksahin, Arzu; Berk, Veli; Aslan, Tuncay; Erden, Abdulsamet; Akca, Zeki; Ozkan, MetinIntroduction: Mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm arising from mesothelial surfaces with the malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) as the most common form. Secondline chemotherapy in MPM is still controversial and in this study we evaluated whether it is superior to best supportive care. Materials and Methods: A total of 51 patients with MPM from Acibadem Kayseri Hospital, Kayseri Training and Research Hospital and Erciyes University were analyzed retrospectively. The patients treated with secondline chemotherapies (SLCT) were compared with those treated with best supportive care (BSC) for overall survival. Results: The median overall survival (OS) for firstline chemotherapy -> SLCT and firstline chemotherapy -> BSC groups were 20.3 and 14.7 months respectively (p=0.079). After firstline chemotherapy the median OS for SLCT and BSC were 5.9 and 4.7 months (p=0.355). Discussion: Although there was a trend for improvement in overall survival in patients treated with secondline chemotherapy, the difference was not statistically significant. Our results do not support the proposal that secondline chemotherapy could be effective in patients with MPM.Item Lack of Sunlight Exposure Influence on Primary Glioblastoma Survival(ASIAN PACIFIC ORGANIZATION CANCER PREVENTION, 2014-01-01) Mutlu, Hasan; Akca, Zeki; Erden, Abdulsamet; Aslan, Tuncay; Ucar, Kadir; Kaplan, Bunyamin; Buyukcelik, AbdullahBackground: The prognosis of primary glioblastoma (GBM) is poor. Approximately 2/3 of primary brain tumor diagnoses are GBM, of which 95\% are primary lesions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether more sunlight exposure has an effect on survival of patients with primary GBM. Materials and Methods: A total of 111 patients with primary GBM were enrolled from Kayseri in inner Anatolia which has a cold climate (n: 40) and Mersin in Mediterranean region with a warm climate and more sunlight exposure (n: 71). The patients with primary GBM were divided into two groups as Kayseri and Mersin and compared for progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: The PFS values were 7.0 and 4.7 months for Kayseri and Mersin groups, respectively (p=0.10) and the repsective OS values were 13.3 and 9.4 months (p=0.13). We did not found any significant difference regarding age, sex, comorbidity, smoking, surgery, resurgery, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy and palliative chemotherapy between the groups. Conclusions: We found that more sunlight exposure had no impact on prognosis of patients with primary GBM, adding inconsistency to the literature about the relationship between sunlight and GBM.Item Survival Analysis of Biliary Tract Cancer Cases in Turkey(ASIAN PACIFIC ORGANIZATION CANCER PREVENTION, 2014-01-01) Akca, Zeki; Mutlu, Hasan; Erden, Abdulsamet; Buyukcelik, Abdullah; Cihan, Yasemin Benderli; Goksu, Sema Sezgin; Aslan, Tuncay; Sezer, Emel Yaman; Inal, AliBackground: Because of the relative rarity of biliary tract cancers (BTCs), defining long term survival results is difficult. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the survival of a series of cases in Turkey. Materials and Methods: A totally of 47 patients with billiary tract cancer from Mersin Goverment Hospital, Acibadem Kayseri Hospital and Kayseri Training and Research Hospital were analyzed retrospectively using hospital records between 2006-2012. Results: The median overall survival was 19.3 +/- 3.9 months for all patients. The median disease free and overall survivals were 24.3 +/- 5.3 and 44.1 +/- 12.9 months in patients in which radical surgery was performed, but in those with with inoperable disease they were only 5.3 +/- 1.5 and 10.7 +/- 3.2 months, respectively. Conclusions: BTCs have a poor prognosis. Surgery with a microscopic negative margin is still the only curative treatment.Item Patterns and Relevance of Langerhans Islet Invasion in Pancreatic Cancer(MDPI, 2021-01-01) Goess, Ruediger; Mutgan, Ayse Ceren; Calisan, Umut; Erdogan, Yusuf Ceyhun; Ren, Lei; Jager, Carsten; Safak, Okan; Stupakov, Pavel; Istvanffy, Rouzanna; Friess, Helmut; Ceyhan, Guralp O.; Demir, Ihsan EkinSimple Summary The pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer-associated diabetes mellitus is poorly understood. We analyzed tumor infiltration into Langerhans islets and characterized it systematically for the first time, identifying four different main patterns of islet invasion. In a cohort of 68 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients, these islet invasion patterns were not related to occurrence of diabetes mellitus. However, severe islet invasion was associated with worsened overall survival. Background: Pancreatic cancer-associated diabetes mellitus (PC-DM) is present in most patients with pancreatic cancer, but its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to characterize tumor infiltration in Langerhans islets in pancreatic cancer and determine its clinical relevance. Methods: Langerhans islet invasion was systematically analyzed in 68 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using histopathological examination and 3D in vitro migration assays were performed to assess chemoattraction of pancreatic cancer cells to islet cells. Results: Langerhans islet invasion was present in all patients. We found four different patterns of islet invasion: (Type I) peri-insular invasion with tumor cells directly touching the boundary, but not penetrating the islet
