Öğe Efficacy of capecitabine and temozolomide regimen in neuroendocrine tumors: Data from the Turkish Oncology Group(NLM (Medline), 2023) Ünal, Çağlar; Azizy, Abdulmunir; Karabulut, Senem; Taştekin, Didem; Akyıldız, Arif; Yaşar, Serkan; Kalkan, Ziya; Oruç, ZeynepINTRODUCTION: This study aims to report the efficacy and safety of capecitabine plus temozolomide (CAPTEM) across different lines of treatment in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). METHODS: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study analyzing the data of 308 patients with metastatic NETs treated with CAPTEM between 2010 and 2022 in 34 different hospitals across various regions of Turkey. RESULTS: The median follow-up time was 41.0 months (range: 1.7-212.1), and the median age was 53 years (range: 22-79). Our results across the entire patient cohort showed a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 10.6 months and a median overall survival (OS) of 60.4 months. First-line CAPTEM treatment appeared more effective, with a median PFS of 16.1 months and a median OS of 105.8 months (median PFS 16.1, 7.9, and 9.6 months in first-, second- and ≥third-line respectively, P = .01; with median OS values of 105.8, 47.2, and 24.1 months, respectively, P = .003) In terms of ORR, the first-line treatment again performed better, resulting in an ORR of 54.7% compared to 33.3% and 30.0% in the second and third or higher lines, respectively (P < .001). Grade 3-4 side effects occurred only in 22.5% of the patients, leading to a discontinuation rate of 9.5%. Despite the differences in outcomes based on treatment line, we did not observe a significant difference in terms of side effects between the first and subsequent lines of treatment. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The substantial superior outcomes in patients receiving first-line CAPTEM treatment highlight its potential as an effective treatment strategy for patients with metastatic NET.Öğe The prognostic factors in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: impact of treatment sequencing(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) Köstek, Osman; Demirel, Ahmet; Hacıoğlu, Muhammet Bekir; Taştekin, Didem; Karabulut, Senem; Gündogdu, Abidin; Sever, Nadiye; Kaplan, Muhammet Ali; 0000-0002-1901-5603; 0000-0003-0882-0524The prognosis of patients with advanced HCC can vary widely depending on factors such as the stage of the cancer, the patient’s overall health, and treatment regimens. This study aimed to investigate survival outcomes and associated factors in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this retrospective study, data from 23 medical oncology clinics were analyzed. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) values were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Prognostic factors associated with survival which were identified in univariate analysis were subsequently evaluated in a multivariate Cox-regression survival analysis was conducted using the backward stepwise (Conditional LR) method to determine the independent predictors of PFS and OS. Of 280 patients, 131 received chemotherapy and 142 received sorafenib, 6 received atezolizumab plus bevacizumab and 1 received nivolumab for first-line setting. The median follow-up time was 30.4 (95%CI 27.1–33.6) months. For-first line, median PFS was 3.1 (95%CI2.7–3.5) months, and it was significantly longer in patients who received sorafenib or atezolizumab-bevacizumab or nivolumab (PFS 5.8 (95%CI 4.2–7.5) than in those received chemotherapy (PFS 2.1 (95%CI 1.9–2.3) in the first-line setting (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that male gender (HR: 2.75, 95% CI: 1.53–4.94, p = 0.01), poor ECOG performance score (HR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.10–3.21, p = 0.02), higher baseline AFP level (HR: 2.38, 95% CI: 1.54–3.67, p < 0.001) and upfront sorafenib treatment (HR,0.38; 95% CI: 0.23–0.62, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with shorter PFS. The median OS was 13.2 (95%CI 11.1–15.2) months. It was significantly longer in patients who received sorafenib or atezolizumab-bevacizumab or nivolumab in the first-line setting followed by TKIs (sorafenib or regorafenib, OS 18.6 (95%CI 13.8–23.5)) compared to those who received chemotherapy (OS 10.3 (95%CI 6.6–14.1)) in the first-line setting. The multivariate analysis revealed that upfront chemotherapy treatment approach, male gender (HR: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.07–2.94, p = 0.02), poor ECOG performance score (HR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.24–3.09, p = 0.004) and Child-Pugh score, presence of extrahepatic disease (HR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.09–2.18, p = 0.01), and higher baseline AFP value (HR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.03–2.19, p = 0.03) were significantly associated with poor prognosis. Additionally, regarding of treatment sequence, upfront sorafenib followed by regorafenib showed a significantly lower risk of mortality (HR: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.25–0.66, p < 0.001). Sorafenib followed by regorafenib treatment was associated with a significantly lower risk of mortality rather than upfront sorafenib followed by BSC group or upfront chemotherapy followed by TKIs. These findings underscore the importance of the optimal treatment sequences to improve survival in patients with advanced HCC.Öğe A retrospective evaluation of geriatric patients with gastric cancer receiving systemic chemotherapy(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2020) Tatlı, Ali Murat; Urakçı, Zuhat; Taştekin, Didem; Koca, Doǧan; Göksu, Sema Sezgin; Üyetürk, Ümmügül; Kaplan, Mehmet Ali; Çoşkun, Hasan ŞenolBackground: The most common age at which gastric cancer is diagnosed is 70 years, and the majority of patients diagnosed are at the metastatic stage. However, although gastric cancer is a geriatric disease, there is no suggestion to discriminate treatment for the general geriatric patient population. Here, we evaluated patients receiving palliative chemotherapy for gastric cancer owing to advanced age. Patients and Methods: Multicenter data of geriatric patients receiving palliative chemotherapy because of metastatic gastric cancer were retrospectively reviewed. Results: In total, 262 geriatric patients with gastric cancer were included in the study. Of these, 167 patients, including 134 (51.8%) patients with metastasis at diagnosis and 33 patients with relapse after surgery, were evaluated for palliative therapy. Chemotherapy was started in 87 (52.1%) of 167 patients. The overall median survival of the patients receiving chemotherapy was 9.3 months. There was no difference in overall survival (OS) between patients aged >70 and <70 years. However, a significant difference was detected in OS of patients depending on their Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status(PS) before treatment; survival was 15 months in the group with PS 0–1 and 7 months in the group with PS ≥2. Conclusion: Advanced age chemotherapy receiving rates in patients with metastatic gastric cancer is decreasing. Survival is not associated with age, but pretreatment ECOG PS is important. Therefore, ECOG PS and comorbidities should be evaluated in detail, and combination therapies could contribute to patient survival.
