    The real-life efficacy and safety of osimertinib in pretreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with T790M mutation: A Turkish oncology group study
    (Springer, 2021-07-31) Caner, Burcu; CANER, BURCU; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Tıbbi Onkoloji Bilim Dalı; AAE-8549-2022
    Introduction Osimertinib, an irreversible third-generation EGFR-TKI, is the standard of care for second-line treatment of T790M-mutant advanced NSCLC patients whose disease progressed after first-line EGFR-TKI therapy. In this multicenter study, we aimed to determine the real-life efficacy and safety of Osimertinib in pretreated advanced NSCLC patients with T790M mutation. Materials and methods This retrospective trial included advanced T790M-mutant pretreated NSCLC patients who received Osimertinib from 24 different centers in Turkey. Primary endpoint was time-to-treatment discontinuation (TTD). Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results Of 163 patients, 68.7% had EGFR exon 19 deletion and 22.7% had exon 21 L858R mutation. Osimertinib was given as second-line treatment in 96 patients (58.9%) and third-line in 48 patients (29.4%). After median of 13-month follow-up, median TTD was 21.6 months with an 82.2% ORR. Estimated median OS was 32.1 months. Grade 3-4 adverse events were seen in 11.7% of the patients. Conclusion Osimertinib is a highly effective option in second- or third-line treatment of NSCLC patients with T790M mutation, with a favorable safety profile.

    Platinum-induced neurotoxicity: A review of possible mechanisms
    (Baishideng Publishing Group Inc, 2017-08-10) Kanat, Özkan; Ertaş, Hülya; Caner, Burcu; CANER, BURCU; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/OnkolojiAnabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-5872-8825; HJH-6371-2023; AAE-8549-2022
    Patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy frequently experience neurotoxic symptoms, which may lead to premature discontinuation of therapy. Despite discontinuation of platinum drugs, these symptoms can persist over a long period of time. Cisplatin and oxaliplatin, among all platinum drugs, have significant neurotoxic potential. A distal dose-dependent symmetrical sensory neuropathy is the most common presentation of platinum neurotoxicity. DNA damage-induced apoptosis of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons seems to be the principal cause of neurological symptoms. However, DRG injury alone cannot explain some unique symptoms such as cold-aggravated burning pain affecting distal extremities that is observed with oxaliplatin administration. In this article, we briefly reviewed potential mechanisms for the development of platinum drugs-associated neurological manifestations.

    Hyperprogression and hypercalcemia after nivolumab treatment in three cases with renal cell carcinoma
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2022-02-21) Ertaş, Hülya; Ocak, Birol; CANER, BURCU; Çubukçu, Erdem; ÇUBUKÇU, ERDEM; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Tıbbi Onkoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-5872-8825; HJH-6371-2023
    Introduction Hyperprogression is a specific type of response seen with immunotherapy that is observed in all malignancies with a frequency of 9% - 29%, characterized by a rapid increase in tumor burden. Many possible related factors and possible markers have been evaluated but a clinical or laboratory parameter associated with hyperprogression has not yet been established. For renal cell carcinoma, hypercalcemia is known to be a poor prognostic factor but it has not been linked to hyperprogression. Case report We retrospectively evaluated 52 patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma who had nivolumab treatment in any line. 3 of 9 patients who had hyperprogression were noticed to have hypercalcemia preceding hyperprogression. Here we present those 3 cases who developed hypercalcemia after nivolumab and had hyperprogression at follow-up. Management and outcome All cases had less than 4 courses of nivolumab and showed hyperprogression in assessment. Nivolumab was discontinued. However, patients' survival was extremely poor, as expected. Discussion The development of hypercalcemia may help predict hyperprogression in patients with renal cell carcinoma who receive immunotherapy. In such cases, early evaluation of progression and cessation of nivolumab may be considered.
