dc.description.abstractIntroduction Soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous and rare group of cancers with a short median overall survival despite the chemotherapy. Pazopanib has approval for the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma. We aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of Turkish patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma who received pazopanib. Patients and methods This was a retrospective study. The inclusion criteria were: >= 18 years of age, having histologically proven advanced soft tissue sarcoma and receiving pazopanib at least one day. Results A total of 79 patients were assessed in this study. The median age was 49.6 years. The average dose intensity of pazopanib was 767 mg (400-800). The median duration of pazopanib treatment was 6.11 months. Fourteen patients (17.7%) used pazopanib at first line for advanced soft tissue sarcomas. The most common cause of discontinuation of pazopanib was the progression of the disease (89.6%). Pazopanib was well tolerated. The most common grade >= 3 side effect was anemia. The most common grade <= 2 side effects were anemia and hyperbilirubinemia. The median progression-free survival, overall survival, and follow-up were 3.97months, 11.40months, and 32.72 months, respectively. Female gender, good performance status, and the presence of pazopanib-induced hypothyroidism were associated with longer progression-free survival. Also, good performance status and being a responder to first-line treatment were associated with longer overall survival. Conclusions We showed that pazopanib was well tolerated and had clinical benefit in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma in a Turkish cohort. This is the first study that suggests pazopanib-induced hypothyroidism may act as a predictive marker for better outcomes in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma.en_US
