Publication Dynamic contrast-enhanced T1-weighted perfusion magnetic resonance imaging identifies glioblastoma immunohistochemical biomarkers via tumoral and peritumoral approach: A pilot study(Elsevier Science, 2019-04-09) Öztürk, Kerem; Soylu, Esra; Tolunay, Şahsine; Narter, Selin; Hakyemez, Bahattin; Özturk, Kerem; Soylu, Esra; TOLUNAY, ŞAHSİNE; NARTER, SELİN; HAKYEMEZ, BAHATTİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Patoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-9664-2347; 0000-0002-3425-0740; AAI-2318-2021; E-1228-2018; AAI-1612-2021; DSW-1175-2022; FOL-7699-2022OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of dynamic contrast-enhanced T1-weighted perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-pMRI) to predict certain immunohistochemical (IHC) biomarkers of glioblastoma (GB) in this pilot study.METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 36 patients (male/female, 25:11; mean age, 53 years; age range, 29-85 years) who had pretreatment DCE-pMRI with IHC analysis of their excised GBs. Regions of interest of the enhancing tumor (ER) and nonenhancing peritumoral region (NER) were used to calculate DCE-pMRI parameters of volume transfer constant, back flux constant, volume of the extravascular extracellular space, initial area under enhancement curve, and maximum slope. IHC biomarkers including Ki-67 labeling index, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2 (OLIG2), isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), and p53 mutation status were determined. The imaging metrics of GB with IHC markers were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman correlation analysis.RESULTS: Among 30 patients with available IDH1 status, 14 patients (46.6%) had IDH1 mutation. EGFR amplification was present in 24/36 (66.6%) patients. Mean Ki-67 labeling index was 29% (range, 1.5%-80%). p53 mutation was present in 20/36 GBs (55%), whereas OLIG2 expression was positive in 29/36 GBs (80.5%). Various DCE-pMRI parameters gathered from the ER and NER were significantly correlated with IDH1 mutation, EGFR amplification, and OLIG2 expression (P < 0.05). Ki-67 labeling index showed a strong positive correlation with initial area under enhancement curve (r = 0.619; P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: DCE-pMRI could determine surrogate IHC biomarkers in GB via tumoral and peritumoral approach, potential targets for individualized treatment protocols.Item Non-epithelial tumors of the larynx: case series of 12 years(Springer, 2019-10) Özsen, Mine; Saraydaroğlu, Özlem; Coşkun, Hakan; Narter, Selin; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Cerrahi Tıp Bilimleri/Kulak, Burun ve Boğaz Hastalıkları Bölümü.; 0000-0002-8211-6175; 0000-0002-0881-1444; AAH-9701-2021; 15074395500; 57209278517; 13610800100Purpose Laryngeal neoplasms are almost always epithelial in origin and squamous cell carcinoma is the most common tumor of the larynx. Non-epithelial tumors make a small subset of laryngeal neoplasms. We present the experience of a single institution to define clinical presentations and outcomes. Materials and methods The pathology archives and clinical records of our center with the diagnosis of laryngeal tumors between the 2005 and 2018 were reviewed. Age, gender, symptoms, location of the tumor, histopathological diagnosis, treatment modality and disease status were discussed. Results 657 patients were diagnosed with laryngeal tumor between 2005 and 2018 and 13 patients with non-epithelial tumors were identified. The majority of the patients were male. The age ranged between 13 and 93 years. The most common tumor localizations were vocal cords and subglottis. Seven patients were diagnosed with malignant tumors and six patients had benign tumors. Chondrosarcoma was the most common malignant mesenchymal tumor. Others were leiomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma and liposarcoma. The most common benign non-epithelial tumors were schwannoma and hemangioma. Plexiform neurofibroma and granular cell tumor were the other benign tumors. Eleven patients underwent excisional biopsy. One patient underwent partial laryngectomy and one had total laryngectomy. Three cases presented with recurrent tumor. Among the recurrent cases, two were malignant tumors. Conclusion Non-epithelial tumors of the larynx are rare and have a wide histological diversity. Immunohistochemical studies are of great importance in the diagnosis of these tumors. Primary mesenchymal tumors of the larynx should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis.
