    Aim: In this study, the efficacy of sunitinib in patients with imatinib-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) was investigated. Material and Method: A total of 11 imatinib-resistant GIST patients who have sufficient information about their medical treatment and outcome were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Partial response was observed in only two patients, and five patients achieved stable disease. Progression free survival and overall time was 8.8 months and 12 months, respectively. Sunitinib was relatively well tolerated. Almost all patients experienced one or more treatment-related adverse event. Discussion: Based on our limited experience, we concluded that sunitinib is reasonable treatment option for patients with imatinibresistant GIST.

    Retrospective comparison of the efficacy of therapeutic agents in metastatic soft-tissue sarcomas
    (Kare Yayınevi, 2023-03-02) Caner, Burcu; Ocak, Birol; Şahin, Ahmet Bilgehan; Salı, Seda; Çoban, Eyüp; Deligönul, Adem; Çubukçu, Erdem; Evrensel, Türkkan; CANER, BURCU; SALİ, SEDA; ÇOBAN, EYÜP; DELİGÖNÜL, ADEM; ÇUBUKÇU, ERDEM; EVRENSEL, TÜRKKAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Tıbbi Onkoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-1591-3323 ; HJH-6371-2023; DPO-3759-2022; JIS-1916-2023; JHC-1731-2023; JGT-4101-2023; EXZ-0745-2022
    OBJECTIVEThere are few agents used in soft-tissue sarcoma treatment. We compared the efficacy of therapies, aiming to identify the best therapy sequence, and reveal the factors affecting the risk of progression or death.METHODSFifty-five patients were included in the study. Data such as age, gender, tumor primary site, histological type, tumor grade, the Ki67 percentage score, treatments, radiotherapy, and metastasectomy history, the dates of diagnosis, metastasis, progression, and death were retrospectively evaluated. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for therapies, and the risk factors for the progression or death were analyzed.RESULTSIn the first-line, gemcitabine-docetaxel provided longer PFS than the doxorubicin-ifosfamide combination (7.4 months vs. 4.8 months, p=0.035), although this did not result in OS difference. In the second line, the efficacy of trabectedin and pazopanib were similar, whereas trabectedin showed less activity in liposarcomas. In the third-line and beyond, trabectedin, pazopanib and eribulin showed similar PFS and OS. The only factor that affected the risk of death was metastasectomy (HR for death: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.18-0.66, p=0.001). CONCLUSIONWe found that agents used in soft-tissue sarcoma have similar efficacy, which is not affected by the previous therapies. However, it should be noted that soft-tissue sarcomas include many histological types, and to choose the optimal drug, the histological type must be one of the major factors considered. Furthermore, all patients should be evaluated for possible metastasectomy, which came out as the only factor reducing the risk of death in our study.

    Background and Aim: In 10-30% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, toxic reactions occur after fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy. A dihydropyridine dehydrogenase (DPYD) gene variant, c.1905 + 1G>A, leads to intolerance to fluoropyrimidines. Due to the low frequency of this variant in many populations, the prevalence of fluoropyrimidine-induced hematologic side effects in CRC patients with the c.1905 + 1G>A variant is unclear. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of the DPYD c.1905 + 1 variants in a Turkish CRC cohort and the potential effects of these variants on fluoropyrimidine-induced hematologic side effects.Materials and Methods: The DPYD c.1905 + 1 variant was genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and confirmed by Sanger sequencing in peripheral blood samples of 100 CRC patients who received fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy and 60 healthy volunteers. The association of c.1905 + 1 variants with susceptibility to hematologic side effects was evaluated.Results: The DPYD c.1905 + 1G>A variant was more common in the CRC group than in the healthy control group (p = 0.001). The presence of the c.1905 + 1G>A variant was associated with thrombocytopenia (p = 0.039) and anemia (p = 0.035). CRC patients with fluoropyrimidine-induced anemia had shorter disease-free survival than CRC patients without fluoropyrimidine-induced anemia (p = 0.0009).Conclusions: Before administering fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy, genetic screening for the DPYD c.1905 + 1G>A variant should be performed with the aim of preventing anemia and anemia-induced complications in CRC patients.

    Several studies have shown relationships between predisposition to various types of cancer and polymorphisms of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) gene. In the present study, researchers investigated the relationship between primary lung cancer and (PLC) FGFR4 Gly388Arg polymorphism in regard to tendency, histopathologic sub-type, early onset, and metastatic status. The present study included 124 PLC patients and 100 healthy controls. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to identify gene polymorphism of FGFR4 Gly388Arg. Statistical significance was considered when p < 0.05, and a statistically significant difference was not found in FGFR-4 polymorphism between the patient group and control group in regard to tendency, histopathologic sub-type, early onset, and metastatic status (p > 0.05). The findings in this study demonstrated that there was no relationship between polymorphism of FGFR4 Gly388Arg gene and PLC. However, these results should be confirmed in larger studies and in specific histopathological sub-types of PLC.

    Because the outcome of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains dismal, there is an urgent need for a better molecular characterization of this malignancy. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the prognostic impact of the expression of c-mesenchymal-epithelial transition (c-Met) a receptor tyrosine kinase implicated in expression growth, survival, motility/migration, and invasion in GMB patients managed according to the established diagnostic and therapeutic protocols.Between May 2003 and March 2011, a total of 69 patients (33 males and 36 females; mean age: 52.2 +/- A 12.9 years, age range: 23-81 years) referred to our Department for the surgical removal of GBM were evaluated immunohistochemically for c-Met expression. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) served as the main outcome measures.Compared with c-Met- subjects (n = 38), c-Met+ subjects (n = 31) had both a significantly lower OS (15.3 +/- A 2.3 vs. 22.6 +/- A 2.5 months, respectively, p < 0.01) and PFS (12.3 +/- A 2.1 vs. 19.1 +/- A 2.6 months, respectively, p < 0.05). After allowance for potential confounders, multivariate Cox regression analysis identified c-Met+ as an independent predictor of both OS (hazard ratio = 1.7; 95 % confidence interval = 1.2-1.9, p < 0.01) and PFS (hazard ratio = 1.6; 95 % confidence interval = 1.1-2.3, p < 0.05).Our findings suggest that c-Met immunohistochemical expression is an independent predictor of outcomes in patients with GBM treated by standard of care.

    Aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of erlotinib as second-, third-, and fourth-line treatment for Turkish patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Material and Method: Thirty-nine patients with advanced, previously treated NSCLC who received 150 mg of erlotinib once daily orally until disease progression or intolerable toxicity were retrospectively analyzed. Results: We observed no complete response, partial responses were observed in 7 (17.9%) patients, and 16 (41 Ph) patients had stable disease. The median progression -free survival was 242 days (95% CI 51-224), and the median overall survival (OS) was 377 days (950/0 Cl 291462). The median 05 of females was significantly better than male patients (470 vs. 271 days, p=0.046). The treatment was generally well tolerated. The most common side effect was skin rash (4105). Discussion: Erlotinib was safe and effective in treating Turkish patients with advanced NSCLC who had been previously treated with the standard chemotherapy.

    Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a rare disease, and especially for classic KS, a gap exists in the literature about which chemotherapeutics should be given. Here we present our institutional data on the demographic characteristics, treatment, and treatment efficacy in 16 patients with KS treated with chemotherapy. We retrospectively analyzed the demographic and clinical characteristics of and the chemotherapeutic agents administered to the 16 patients with KS diagnosed in our center based on the medical records obtained. The median age, gender, KS type, involved site, cytotoxic agents administered, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety profiles of the patients were evaluated. The median age at disease onset was 61.07 years (range, 39.4-85.8 years). Among the patients, one had immunosuppression-related KS, four had acquired immune deficiency syndrome-related KS, and 11 had classic KS. Regarding the first-line cytotoxic therapy, seven patients received pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), six received paclitaxel, two received oral etoposide, and one received the doxorubicin, bleomycin, and vincristine regimen. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the PFS was 39.9 months (95% confidence interval (CI), 7.7-72.0). In the first-line setting, a significant difference in PFS was observed between the PLD-and paclitaxel-treated groups (unreached vs. 12.8 months; p = 0.033). The OS was 66.1 months (95% CI, 30.2-102.0). The ORR and DCR of the 16 patients were 43.8%, and 81.3%, respectively. No grade 3 or 4 toxicity was observed. This retrospective study showed that among the most preferred chemotherapeutic agents, PLD seems better than paclitaxel in terms of PFS and response rates, and it showed a good safety profile in patients with KS.

    Endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (EEC) represents approximately 75-80% of endometrial carcinoma cases. Three hundred and thirty-six patients with EEC followed-up in the authors' medical center between 2010 and 2018 were included in our study. Two hundred and seventy-two low and intermediate EEC patients were identified using the European Society for Medical Oncology criteria and confirmed by histopathological examination. Recurrence was reported in 17 of these patients. The study group consisted of patients with relapse. A control group of 51 patients was formed at a ratio of 3:1 according to age, stage, and grade, similar to that in the study group. Of the 17 patients with recurrent disease, 13 patients (76.5%) were Stage 1A, and 4 patients (23.5%) were Stage 1B. No significant difference was found in age, stage, and grade between the case and control groups (p > 0.05). Body mass index, parity, tumor size, lower uterine segment involvement, squamous differentiation (SqD), and Ki-67 index with p<0.25 in the univariate logistic regression analysis were included in the multivariate analysis. Ki-67 was statistically significant in multivariate analysis (p = 0.018); however, there was no statistical significance in SqD and other parameters. Our data suggest that the Ki-67 index rather than SqD needs to be assessed for recurrence in patients with low- and intermediate-risk EEC.

    Chemo-immunotherapy (CIT) with platin, etoposide and monoclonal antibodies targeting the PD-1/PDL-1 pathway has recently improved survival in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) after decades. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of CIT with atezolizumab in extensive-stage SCLC in chemotherapy naive patients. Eleven patients who were treated and followed in our center were included in this retrospective observational study. All the patients received carboplatin, etoposide and atezolizumab in the induction phase and atezolizumab in the maintenance phase. The Kaplan-Meier test was used to determine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and the effects of the sites of metastasis were analyzed using the log-rank test. The median age was 69.9 years, and 81.8% were male. The median number of CIT and total atezolizumab cycles was 4 and 7, respectively. 63.6% received maintenance therapy. Median PFS was 5.2 months (95% CI: 3.4-6.9), and median OS was 11.3 months (95% CI: 1.0-21.5). The overall response rate was 63.6%. There was no significant difference between patients with and without liver metastasis in terms of PFS and OS. We observed toxicity higher than grade 2 in more than half of the patients, and hematological toxicities were prominent. CIT with carboplatin, etoposide and atezolizumab is efficient and safe in extensive-stage SCLC considering the PFS, OS, response rates, 12-month survival rate, and side effects. The progression of liver lesions was remarkable. Cranial and thoracic radiation are issues that should be discussed in the future with data from clinical studies.
