Öğe A New Mortality Prediction Model in Advanced Stage Cancer Patients Requiring Hospitalisation while Receiving Active Systemic Therapy(Coll Physicians & Surgeons Pakistan, 2023) Karaboyun, Kubilay; Iriagac, Yakup; Cavdar, Eyyup; Avci, Okan; Seber, Erdogan SelcukObjective: To predict short and long-term mortality in patients who were admitted to the emergency department and then hospitalised unplanned in medical oncology-ward.Study Design: An observational study.Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Medical Oncology, Tekirdag Namik Kemal University Hospital, Tekirdag, Turkiye, from May 2021 to May 2022.Methodology: Consecutive patients admitted to the emergency department with unplanned hospitalisation in the oncology ward, were included. Patients receiving treatment with the curative intent, patients hospitalised for febrile neutropenia, and terminally ill patients requiring intensive care unit follow-up at admission were excluded from the study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictive factors for short and long-term mortality-dependent variables.Results: This study included 253 advanced cancer patients. The number of patients who died in the ward within 10 days (short-term mortality) was 28 (11.1%). Ninety patients (35.6%) died afterwards anytime in the ward during the study (long-term mortality). In the multi-variate analysis established for short-term mortality, higher ALT (OR = 6.75, 95% CI: 2.09 -21.85, p=0.001), rapid deterioration in perfor-mance status (OR = 5.49, 95% CI: 1.81-16.67, p=0.003), higher CRP (OR = 5.86, 95% CI: 1.20-28.53, p=0.029), higher procalcitonin (OR = 7.94, 95% CI: 0.99 -63.82, p=0.051), and higher lactate (OR = 2.47, 95% CI: 0.94-6.51, p=0.067) showed significant predictive features.Conclusion: The decision of whether to continue treatment or not is challenging in cancer patients who require unplanned hospitalisation while receiving palliative systemic therapy. New mortality estimation models can be used in making the transition from life-long to pallia-tive treatments.Öğe Comparison of three equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate as predictors of cisplatin-related acute kidney injury in lung cancer patients with normal renal function(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2024) Karaboyun, Kubilay; Iriagac, Yakup; Cavdar, Eyyup; Avci, Okan; Seber, Erdogan S.Objective: Cisplatin-associated acute kidney injury is a common clinical event that causes increased morbidity and mortality in cancer patients even if they are categorized as having normal functioning kidneys. We aimed to determine predictive factors that can predict acute kidney injury associated with cisplatin therapy in patients with normal renal function by comparison of pre-chemotherapy estimated glomerular filtration rates calculated separately by Cockcroft and Gault (CG), the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EP & Idot;) equations and accompanying patient-associated factors. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 patients diagnosed with lung cancer and determined to have normal functioning kidneys and considered cisplatin eligible by the attending physician before chemotherapy were included in this retrospective study. Acute kidney injury after cisplatin chemotherapy (c-AKI) was determined according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.03. Pre-chemotherapy serum laboratory parameters and clinico-histopathological characteristics of patients were recorded from the hospital electronic system. The optimal cut-off for eGFR methods was determined by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) analysis. Predictive factor analysis for c-AKI was performed by regression analyses. Results: C-AKI developed in 39 (19.5%) patients. In the univariate analysis, a significant correlation was observed between c-AKI and high body mass index (BMI) before treatment, older age (>62.5), female gender, eGFR by MDRD (<= 94.5 mL/min) and eGFR by CKD-EPI (<= 91.5 mL/min). There was no relation between eGFR by CG and c-AKI. Two different multivariate models were established. Model 1 showed that female gender (odds ratio [OR] =4.90, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.52-15.79, P = 0.008) and eGFR by MDRD less than or equal to 94.5 mL/min (OR = 3.52, 95% CI: 1.68-7.38, P = 0.001) were predictive markers for c-AKI. In Multivariate Model 2, female gender (OR = 5.51, 95% CI: 1.70-17.83, P = 0.004) and eGFR by CKD-EPI less than or equal to 91.5 mL/min (OR = 3.52, 95% CI: 1.67-7.42, P = 0.001) were found to be predictive markers for c-AKI. Conclusions: This study revealed that eGFR calculated based on MDRD (<= 94.5 mL/min/m2) or CKD-EPI (<= 91.5 mL/min/m2) before chemotherapy indicates a strong tendency for c-AKI. In addition, we detected a high risk of c-AKI for females compared to their counterparts. Although eGFR 60 mL/min is considered the threshold level to accept patients as cisplatin-eligible, we recommend close follow-up of high-risk patients for cisplatin nephrotoxicity we detected in our models.Öğe Creatine Kinase (CK)-MB and CK-MB-to-Total-CK Ratio: A Novel Predictive Marker for Pathologic Complete Response in Breast Cancer Treated with Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy(Akad Doktorlar Yayinevi, 2024) Cavdar, Eyyup; Karaboyun, Kubilay; Iriagac, Yakup; Celikkol, Aliye; Elcicek, Omer; Avci, Okan; Seber, ErdoganBreast cancer is the most common cancer and neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) is one of the important treatment modalities in early stage breast cancer. The aim of this study was to investi-gate the ability of serum CK-MB and CK-MB/CK to be an ideal predictive marker for pathologic complete response (pCR) in breast cancer patients receiving NAC and to determine its rela-tionship with clinicopathologic factors. A total of 135 breast cancer patients receiving NAC were included in this retrospective study. The pre-NAC serum laboratory values and clinicopathologi-cal features of the patients were recorded. Regression analysis was used to do predictive factor analysis for pCR. In the statistical analysis, serum CK-MB level was associated with axillary status, PgR status, ER status, and HER2 status. A significant relationship between CK-MB/CK and axillary status and histological grade was found. PgR negativity, ER negativity, high histo-logical grade, axillary negativity, NLR, CK-MB elevation, and high CK-MB/CK ratio were found to be predictive factors for pCR in the univariate regression analysis.CK-MB (OR= 3.48, p= 0.032) and CK-MB/CK ratio (OR= 3.16, p= 0.028) were revealed to be strong predictors of pCR in established multivariate models.In survival analysis, recurrence-free survival (RFS) were shorter in patients with low CK-MB/CK ratio (p= 0.045). There was no significant relationship between CK-MB level and RFS (p= 0.315). In summary, in breast cancer patients who have re-ceived NAC, serum CK-MB level and CK-MB/CK ratio are independent predictors of pCR.To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to assess these variables' predictive impact on NAC response in breast cancer patients.Öğe Decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rates in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with crizotinib(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Iriagac, Yakup; Cavdar, Eyyup; Karaboyun, Kubilay; Tacar, Seher Yildiz; Mustafayev, Fatma Nihan Akkoc; Celik, Emir; Avci, OkanIntroduction: Crizotinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, and there are uncertainties about its effect on kidney function. In this study, it was aimed to document the possible adverse effect of the drug on kidney functions. Materials and Methods: The estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) of the patients were calculated by creatinine-based Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration and compared by months using the paired samples t-test. Kaplan-Meier survival method was used for progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) analysis. Results: Twenty-six patients who received crizotinib were included in the study, and the median progression-free survival time with crizotinib was 14.2 months and the median OS time was 27.4 months. There was a significant reduction of eGFR after the 1(st) month of crizotinib treatment when compared to the rate before treatment initiation (P < 0.001). The eGFR values at the end of the 1(st) month and the 2(nd) month of treatment and the 2(nd) and 3(rd) months of treatment were statistically similar (P = 0.086, P = 0.663; respectively). This decrease in eGFR values was reversible, and there was no difference detected between pretreatment and posttreatment discontinuation (P = 0.100). Conclusion: A reversible decrease in renal functions was detected in patients using crizotinib. When the literature data are examined, it is thought that the reason for this decrease may be related to the increase in renal inflammation or a pseudo decrease due to the decrease in creatinine excretion. When evaluating renal functions in these patients, using noncreatine-based (iothalamate, etc.) calculations can give more accurate results.Öğe Efficacy of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Lobular and Rare Subtypes of Breast Cancer(Coll Physicians & Surgeons Pakistan, 2024) Seber, Erdogan Selcuk; Iriagac, Yakup; Cavdar, Eyyup; Karaboyun, Kubilay; Avci, Okan; Yolcu, Ahmet; Gurdal, Sibel OzkanObjective: To determine the predictive factors for the pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with non-ductal invasive breast cancer (ND-BC) receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Study Design: Observational study.Place and Duration of the Study: Departments of Medical Oncology, Tekirdag Namik Kemal University, Sirnak State Hospital, Aydin Adnan Menderes University, Marmara University, Bakirkoy Sadi Konuk Hospital, Basaksehir Cam and Sakura Hospital, Sakarya University, Balikesir Ataturk Hospital, Turkiye, from April 2016 to December 2022.Methodology: A total of 222 non-metastatic breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy were included in this retrospective multicentric study. The clinicopathologic data were obtained from the hospitals' electronic-record-system. The logistic regression models were used to identify predictive factors for pCR.Results: One hundred and twenty-six patients (56.8%) had invasive lobular carcinoma and 28 patients (12.6%) had signet ring cell/mucinous carcinoma. A total of 45 patients (20.3%) achieved pCR. The pCR rate was 14.3% for lobular carcinoma and 17.9% for signet ring cell/mucinous carcinoma. The univariate analysis showed that estrogen receptor-negative tumours (p = 0.017), high Ki-67 (p = 0.008), high histologic grade (p<0.001), HER2+ expression (p<0.001), and non-lobular histologic type (p = 0.012) were predictive factors for pCR. The multivariate model revealed that HER2 expression (p<0.001) and Ki-67 (p = 0.005) were independent predictors.Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy demonstrated effectiveness in ND-BC patients, leading to favourable pCR rates and enabling breast-conserving surgery. Predictive markers for pCR varied depending on histologic types, with HER2 expression, ER status, Ki-67, and histologic grade showing significance in non-ductal subtypes, while HER2 status alone was predictive in lobular carcinoma.Öğe Investigation of the Effect of Low-positive HER-2 on Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Response in Hormone-positive Breast Cancer Patients(Galenos Publ House, 2023) Karaboyun, Kubilay; Oznur, Meltem; Yolcu, Ahmet; Iriagac, Yakup; Seber, SelcukObjective: Recently, it has been suggested that low-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) is a separate group of breast cancer. We examined the effect of low-positive HER-2 on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Methods: This retrospective study included female patients aged >18 years who were diagnosed with histologically proven breast cancer between January 1, 2016, and January 1, 2020, and had breast surgery after NACT. Patients with triple-negative, estrogen receptor (<10%) weak positive, HER-2 immunohistochemical (IHC) scores 3+ or 2+/FISH-positive patients, and metastatic patients were excluded. Pathological complete response (pCR) was defined as the no invasive and in situ residue in the breast and lymph nodes in surgery after NACT. Results: One hundred twenty seven patients were included in this study. HER-2 IHC-score 0 patients were 55 (43.3%), 1+ patients were 52 (40.9%), and 2+ patients were 20 (15.7%). Nine (7.1%) patients showed a complete response to NACT. In the univariate analysis with clinicopathological variables of the patients to predict the complete response to NACT; estrogen receptor [odds ratio (OR): 0.97, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.96-0.99, p=0.012], Ki-67 (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.06-1.18, p<0.001), tumor grade (OR: 0.036, 95% CI: 1.13-30.36, p=0.036), and lymphovascular invasion (OR: 0.11, 95% CI: 0.01-0.93, p=0.043) showed the predictive features. In the multivariate analysis, Ki-67 (OR: 1.10, 95% CI: 0.04-1.17, p=0.001) was found to be an independent predictor of pCR. Conclusion: We determined that the low-positive-HER2 group has no effect on the treatment response in patients treated with NACT. We found that Ki-67 was an independent predictive for pCR.Öğe Nanotechnology in oncology: a mini review(Assoc Medica Brasileira, 2024) Cavdar, Eyyup; Karaboyun, Kubilay; Iriagac, Yakup[No abstract available]Öğe PROPSEA, safety evaluation of palbociclib and ribociclib in older patients with breast cancer: A prospective real-world TOG study(Elsevier, 2023) Avci, Okan; Iriagac, Yakup; Cavdar, Eyyuep; Karaboyun, Kubilay; Araz, Murat; Sakalar, Teoman; Degerli, EzgiIntroduction: In this study, the toxicities and management of palbociclib and ribociclib in older patients (>= 65 years) with metastatic breast cancer patients were investigated.Materials and Methods: Among older patients receiving palbociclib and ribociclib, Geriatric 8 (G8) and Groningen Frailty Index were used to evaluate frailty status. Dose modifications, drug withdrawal and other serious adverse events (SAEs) were recorded and analyzed according to baseline patient characteristics.Results: A total of 160 patients from 28 centers in Turkey were included (palbociclib = 76, ribociclib = 84). Forty-three patients were >= 75 years of age. The most common cause of first dose modification was neutropenia for both drugs (97% palbociclib, 69% ribociclib). Liver function tests elevation (10%) and renal function impairment (6%) were also causes for ribociclib dose modification. Drug withdrawal rate was 3.9% for palbociclib and 6% for ribociclib. SAEs were seen in 11.8% of those taking palbociclib and 15.5% of those on riboclib. An ECOG performance status of >= 2 and being older than 75 years were associated with dose reductions. Severe neutropenia was more common in patients with non-bone-only metastatic disease, those receiving treatment third-line therapy or higher, coexistance of non-neutropenic hematological side effects (for ribociclib). Neutropenia was less common among patients with obesity.Discussion: Our results show that it can be reasonable to start palbociclib and ribociclib at reduced dose in patients aged >= 75 years and/or with an ECOG performance status >= 2.Öğe Tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors: which one is the culprit of urinary incontinence in premenopausal breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant hormone therapy?(Springer, 2023) Karaboyun, Kubilay; Cavdar, Eyyup; Iriagac, Yakup; Celebi, Abdussamet; Kapagan, Tanju; Gulturk, Ilkay; Demir, OzdenAimThe primary aim of this study was to compare tamoxifen versus aromatase inhibitors (AI) in terms of urinary incontinence (UI) in premenopausal female patients receiving adjuvant hormone therapy for breast cancer. A secondary aim was to investigate the prevalence and the affecting factors of UI.MethodsThis study was designed as a multicenter, cross-sectional that included consecutive premenopausal breast cancer patients <= 50 years of age receiving tamoxifen (with/without LHRHa) or AI (with LHRHa) for at least 6 months, between June 2021 and September 2022. Patients with urinary incontinence before hormone treatments and metastatic patients were excluded from the study. Turkish validation of The International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ UI-SF) was used to determine the UI. Using logistic regression methods, we analyzed potential predictive factors for UI.ResultsA total of 206 breast cancer patients were included in this study. A total of 120 (58.2%) patients were receiving tamoxifen plus LHRHa, 40 (19.4%) patients were receiving aromatase inhibitor plus LHRHa, and 46 (22.3%) patients were receiving tamoxifen only. In this study, the prevalence of urinary incontinence was found to be 35.9% (n:74). 41% of the patients receiving tamoxifen and 15.0% of those receiving aromatase inhibitors had complaints of urinary incontinence. There was a statistically significant difference between patients receiving tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitor in terms of urinary incontinence (p=0.001). In the univariate analysis established to predict UI, parity (>= 2 vs <2) (OR = 3.23, 95% CI: 1.62-6.46, p= 0.001), tamoxifen (vs AI) (OR = 3.97, 95% CI: 1.58-9.98, p= 0.003), age ( >= 40 vs. <40) (OR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.37-5.71, p= 0.005), vaginal deliveries (>= 2 vs. <2) (OR = 3.28, 95% CI: 1.44-7.46, p= 0.005), hypertension (OR = 3.59, 95% CI: 1.43-9.02, p= 0.007), diuretic use (OR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.09-5.95, p= 0.031) ), and body mass index (>= 25 vs <25) (OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.05-3.63), p= 0.034) was found to be predictive. Tamoxifen (OR = 4.71, 95% CI: 1.77-12.56, p= 0.002), hypertension (OR = 3.48, 95% CI: 1.27-9.52, p= 0.015), and age (OR = 2.35, 95% CI: 1.10-5.02, p= 0.027) remained independent predictors for incontinence in multivariate analyses.ConclusionWe found that tamoxifen had increased the risk of urinary incontinence compared to aromatase inhibitors in patients receiving hormone therapy for breast cancer. In addition, we showed that age and hypertension were also independent predictors for UI. In the context of quality of life, we recommend close follow-up of these patients, as drug adherence may be affected in the event of urinary incontinence.Öğe The Role of Interleukin-20 in Paclitaxel-Associated Peripheral Neuropathy in Non-Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy(Galenos Publ House, 2023) Karaboyun, Kubilay; Cavdar, Eyyup; Iriagac, Yakup; Yilmaz, Ahsen; Celikkol, Aliye; Avci, Okan; Seber, Erdogan SelcukIntroduction: This study investigated the relationship between serum interleukin-20 (IL-20) levels and paclitaxel-associated neuropathy in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer. Paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN) is a significant side effect of paclitaxel chemotherapy, and the exact mechanism underlying PIPN is not fully understood. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted with non-metastatic breast cancer patients between January 2022 and November 2022. Neuropathy symptoms were evaluated using the QLQ-CIPN20 questionnaire, and serum IL-20 levels were measured at three time points: before chemotherapy, on the 7(th) day after the first paclitaxel treatment, and after the last treatment. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors predicting PIPN. Results: This study was completed with 59 female patients. During the study, 47 patients (79.6%) reported any degree of neuropathy, whereas 12 patients (20.4%) had no neuropathy. Univariate analysis to predict neuropathy measured on day 7 after first paclitaxel administration demonstrated that age, body mass index, 7(th)-day serum IL-20 level, and last cycle serum IL-20 level were predictive for PIPN. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the relationship between serum IL-20 levels and paclitaxel-related neuropathy in breast cancer patients. Further research targeting the function of IL-20 is needed to investigate potential strategies to prevent and treat PIPN.
