    The efficacy and reliability of sequential adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy and weekly paclitaxel regimen in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative breast cancer: A retrospective analysis of a multicentre study
    (Imprimatur Publications, 2019) Kaplan, Muhammet Ali; Oruc, Zeynep; Gumus, Mahmut; Ozaydm, Sukru; Elkiran, Emin Tamer; Dine, Nur Sener; Sakin, Abdullah
    Purpose: To analyze the reliability and the effectiveness of chemotherapy and prognostic factors for survival in patients with HER2 (human epidermal growth receptor 2) negative early-stage breast cancer treated with adjuvant sequential anthracycline-based chemotherapy and paclitaxel. Methods: This analysis retrospectively evaluated the medical records of 756 HER2 negative early-stage breast cancel-patients who received adjuvant sequential anthracycline-based chemotherapy and weekly paclitaxel in 15 medical oncology centers in Turkey between 2008-2015. Estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), HER2, age, tumor size and grade, nodal status, perineural and lymphatic invasion, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. Results: The median patient age was 50 years (22-82). Median follow up period was 46 months (13-82). The rates of recurrence and death detected in this period were 14.8% and 7.4%, respectively.Median OS and PFS were not reached in this period. Five-year DFS and OS rates were 87% and 89%, respectively. Age (OR:0.35, 95%CI 0.12-0.96, p=0.04), PR status (OR:.0.44, 95%CI 0.18-1, p=0.05), lymphatic invasion (OR:.2.6, 95%CI 0.97-7.4, p=0.05) were independent prognostic factors.Most common grade 3-4 toxicides were fatigue (6.7%), neutropenia (1.7%) and nausea (1.3%). Neutropenic fever developed in 1.8% o f the patients and peripheral neuropathy in 16.9%. Dose reduction was necessary for 10%of the patients due to grade 3-4 toxicity, whereas postponement of chemotherapy was neccessary for 7% of the patients. Conclusions: This multicentric retrospective study confirmed that sequential adjuvant therapy with anthracycline-based chemotherapy and paclitaxel for HER2 negative breast cancer is an effective and reliable regimen.

    Efficacy and tolerability of current treatments for hormone-refractory prostate cancer patients with visceral metastases
    (Future Medicine LTD., 2021) Oruç, Zeynep; Kaplan, M. Ali; Karaağac, Mustafa; Özyurt, Neslihan; Tatlı, Ali Murat; Kaya, Ali Osman; Menekşe, Serkan; Kut, Engin; Koca, Sinan; Sever, Özlem Nuray; Yasin, İrem; Ebinç, Senar; Zeynelgil, Esra; Sakin, Abdullah; Turhal, Nazım Serdar; Işıkdoğan, Abdurrahman
    Aim: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of the first-line treatment options for hormone-refractory prostate cancer patients with visceral metastases. Materials and methods: The records of 191 patients diagnosed with hormone-refractory prostate cancer with visceral metastases were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Docetaxel was administered to 61.2% (n = 117), abiraterone to 14.2% (n = 27) and enzalutamide to 9.4% (n = 18) as the first-line treatment. The median survival of the patients receiving docetaxel, abiraterone and enzalutamide as the first-line treatment during the hormone-refractory period was 15 (95% Cl: 12.9-17) months, 6 (95% Cl: 1.8-10.1) months and 11 (95% Cl: 0.9-23.1) months (p = 0.038), respectively. Conclusion: The present study established a statistically significant difference in favor of docetaxel in terms of overall survival and progression-free survival. Lay abstract The optimal therapeutic option for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients with visceral metastases is unknown. We assessed the efficacy and tolerability of the first-line treatment options for CRPC patients with visceral metastasis. One hundred ninety-one patients diagnosed with CRPC with visceral metastases were included in the study. The present study established a statistically significant difference in favor of docetaxel in terms of overall survival and progression-free survival between first-line docetaxel, abiraterone and enzalutamide treatments in CRPC patients with visceral metastases. For patients who cannot undergo chemotherapy, enzalutamide, among novel androgen pathway inhibitors, may be the most appropriate option, given its numerical, although statistically insignificant, difference in overall survival and its fewer side effects compared with abiraterone.

    Non-Urothelial Bladder Cancer: Comparison of Clinicopathological and Prognostic Characteristics in Pure Adenocarcinoma and Non-Bilharzial Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder
    (Karger, 2018) Erdem, Gokmen U.; Dogan, Mutlu; Sakin, Abdullah; Oruc, Zeynep; Yaman, Emel; Cinkir, Havva Yesil; Uysal, Mukremin
    Objectives: The clinicopathological characteristics, treatment modalities, and effects on the prognosis of pure squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) were evaluated. Materials and Methods: 86 patients with pure SqCC and AC bladder cancer were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Of the 86 patients, 51 had SqCC and 35 had AC. No differences in clinicopathological characteristics were observed between patients with AC and SqCC, except for the prevalence of T4 disease (28.6% vs. 51.0%, respectively). In multivariate analysis, older age, stage IV disease, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (> 2) were predictive of a poor overall survival (OS). The median OS was significantly longer for stage I-III patients (82.9 months) treated with surgery +/- chemotherapy (CT) +/- radiotherapy (RT) than for those treated with transurethral resection +/- CT +/- RT (24.3 months) (P = 0.007). The median OS of patients with SqCC and AC who were given platinum-based CT for metastasis was 7.7 and 30.3 months, respectively. Conclusions: Advanced age, stage IV disease, and poor ECOG performance status were factors associated with a poor prognosis. Surgery +/- CT +/- RT resulted in significantly better OS, except in stage IV disease. Patients with metastatic AC had better response rates with platinum- based CT. (c) 2018 S. Karger GmbH, Freiburg
