Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer is a common cancer in males, frequently leading to mortality. Multiple genetic factors play roles in prostate cancer pathogenesis. Demonstration of pathological pathways and customised treatment options have been possible with next-generation sequencing. AIM In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationships of the changes in the prostate cancer pathways genes with the pathological, immunohistochemical and the clinical parameters. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cross-sectional study. Materials and Methods: Among the prostate needle biopsy materials investigated in Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pathology, thirty-one cases, who had been analysed using the next-generation sequencing system, were included in this study. RESULTS As a result of statistical analysis, a significant relationship was found between the pathogenic mutation detected in androgen receptor and Breast Cancer Gene 2 genes and tumour volume. In all cases with a pathogenic mutation in the androgen receptor gene, a pathogenic mutation in the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog gene was also observed and a significant relationship was found between them. Castration resistance was observed in cases with high tumour volume, and a statistically significant difference was found. A statistically significant relationship was found between tumour volume and Ki-67 expression. In addition, a significant relationship was observed between the castration resistance and Ki-67, c-erbB2 expressions. A statistically significant relationship was found between Ki-67 and c-erbB2. CONCLUSION Regarding prognosis prediction and treatment, identifying the molecular changes in genes playing roles in prostate cancer with next-generation sequencing is very important.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has gradually increased in recent years. There have been significant developments in metastatic RCC in recent years with the introduction of immune control point inhibitors. Glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-related protein (GITR) is a co-stimulatory molecule and is seen in the highest amounts in activated CD4+ T lymphocytes and CD8+ T lymphocytes, forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) positive regulatory T cells (Treg). GITR leads to an increase in interleukin (IL)-2 and CD25 and Interferon Gamma. It shows an anti-tumoural effect by inhibiting the suppressive functions of FOXP3+ regulatory cells (Treg). Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic and predictive effect of GITR, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (CD4+CD8) (TIL), and FOXP3 in patients with metastatic RCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with pathologically confirmed metastatic renal cancer between 2016 and 2021 were included in our study. Clinicopathological features and some laboratory tests were recorded. GITR, CD4, CD8, and FOXP3 were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) from biopsies or nephrectomy material and recorded. RESULTS The study included 41 patients. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.5 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 13.9 months. Median PFS was 7.9 months for the GITR-low group and 18.9 months for the GITR-high group. Median PFS was statistically significant and longer for the GITR-high group than the GITR-low group (p=0.003). When patients who received nivolumab in the 2nd line were evaluated, median PFS was found to be 5.7 months in the GITR-low group and 15.7 months in the GITR-high group. Median PFS was statistically significantly higher in the GITR-high group than in the GITR-low group (p=0.026). CONCLUSIONS In patients with metastatic RCC, higher GITR was associated with better PFS. At the same time, in patients using nivolumab, better PFS was seen in the GITR high group. If supported by prospective studies, GITR can be used as both a prognostic and predictive marker.

Abstract
Background: Ribociclib, palbociclib and abemaciclib are currently approved CDK4/6 inhibitors along with aromatase inhibitors as the first-line standard-of-care for patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Methods: The authors report retrospective real-life data for 600 patients with estrogen receptor- and/or progesterone receptor-positive and HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who were treated with ribociclib and palbociclib in combination with letrozole. Results & conclusion: The results demonstrated that the combination of palbociclib or ribociclib with letrozole has similar progression-free survival and overall survival benefit in real life for the patient group with similar clinical features. Specifically, endocrine sensitivity may be a factor to be considered in the treatment preference.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no standard treatment recommended at category 1 level in international guidelines for subsequent therapy after cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6) based therapy. We aimed to evaluate which subsequent treatment oncologists prefer in patients with disease progression under CDKi. In addition, we aimed to show the effectiveness of systemic treatments after CDKi and whether there is a survival difference between hormonal treatments (monotherapy vs. mTOR-based). METHODS A total of 609 patients from 53 centers were included in the study. Progression-free-survivals (PFS) of subsequent treatments (chemotherapy (CT, n:434) or endocrine therapy (ET, n:175)) after CDKi were calculated. Patients were evaluated in three groups as those who received CDKi in first-line (group A, n:202), second-line (group B, n: 153) and ≥ 3rd-line (group C, n: 254). PFS was compared according to the use of ET and CT. In addition, ET was compared as monotherapy versus everolimus-based combination therapy. RESULTS The median duration of CDKi in the ET arms of Group A, B, and C was 17.0, 11.0, and 8.5 months in respectively; it was 9.0, 7.0, and 5.0 months in the CT arm. Median PFS after CDKi was 9.5 (5.0-14.0) months in the ET arm of group A, and 5.3 (3.9-6.8) months in the CT arm (p = 0.073). It was 6.7 (5.8-7.7) months in the ET arm of group B, and 5.7 (4.6-6.7) months in the CT arm (p = 0.311). It was 5.3 (2.5-8.0) months in the ET arm of group C and 4.0 (3.5-4.6) months in the CT arm (p = 0.434). Patients who received ET after CDKi were compared as those who received everolimus-based combination therapy versus those who received monotherapy ET: the median PFS in group A, B, and C was 11.0 vs. 5.9 (p = 0.047), 6.7 vs. 5.0 (p = 0.164), 6.7 vs. 3.9 (p = 0.763) months. CONCLUSION Physicians preferred CT rather than ET in patients with early progression under CDKi. It has been shown that subsequent ET after CDKi can be as effective as CT. It was also observed that better PFS could be achieved with the subsequent everolimus-based treatments after first-line CDKi compared to monotherapy ET.

Abstract
Aim: To demonstrate the prognostic importance of glucose-to-lymphocyte ratio (GLR) and uric acid (UA) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) receiving Cdk 4/6 inhibitors. Materials & methods: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, GLR, UA and CA15-3 were analyzed to assess their prognostic value using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis in 101 patients with MBC, retrospectively. Results: Importantly, both progression-free survival and overall survival were shorter in the group with high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), GLR and UA. In the multivariate analysis, GLR and UA levels were independent prognostic factors for both progression-free survival and overall survival. Conclusion: In patients with MBC, GLR and UA are independent factors that predict survival times.

METHODOLOGY Patients with metastatic RCC and sufficient follow-up data were included in the study as a retrospective cohort. HALP score was calculated as hemoglobin (g/L) × albumin (g/L) levels × lymphocyte count (/L)/platelet count (/L). The cut-off value was determined by examining the area under the ROC curve for the HALP value. The endpoints of this study included overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS The mean overall survival (OS) of the patients with low HALP score was 17.7 months (95% CI, 2.21 - 33.18), while the OS of the patients with high HALP score was 89.7 months (95% CI, 55.62 - 123.77) and reached statistical significance (p=0.001). The results of univariate (p = 0.009) and multivariate (p=0.012) analyses were statistically significant as well. CONCLUSION The HALP score in metastatic RCC patients was closely related to the prognosis. Worse OS was found in patients with a low HALP score. Key Words: HALP score, Overall survival, Progression-free survival, Renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) Score, a new parameter that reflects the immuno-nutritional status, has been closely associated with prognosis in many cancer types. However, the prognostic significance of the CONUT score in Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is not known. In this study, we aimed to show the prognostic significance of the CONUT score in the postoperative period in patients with GBM. METHODS 120 patients followed up with GBM were included in the study, retrospectively. According to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the optimal cut-off values were determined for the CONUT score, and the patients were divided into low (<2.5) and high (≥2.5) CONUT groups. Systemic immune inflammation index (SII), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were grouped according to the cut-off point of 1111, 46.5, and 4.48, respectively. Cox regression analyzes were used to assess their prognostic significance for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS The high CONUT score group was found to have worse PFS and OS than the low CONUT score group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001). In univariate analysis, age, gender, comorbidity, CONUT score, SII, PNI, NLR were found to be significant for both PFS and OS. In multivariate analysis, only age and CONUT score were found as independent prognostic factors for both PFS (p: 0.040, p < 0,001) and OS (p: 0,041, p < 0,001). CONCLUSION The CONUT score in the postoperative period in patients with GBM is an independent prognostic parameter that predicts progression and survival.

Abstract
Aims In this study, we investigated the expression of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) in lung adenocarcinoma patients' samples and analyzed the association of TTF-1 with clinicopathological parameters, prognosis, and treatment options in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Subjects and Methods This retrospective study enrolled 200 patients who were histologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma with Stage I-IV disease, between 2008 and 2015 years. The cytological archive of these hospitals' Pathology Department was searched. The available slides and the clinical information were reviewed and correlated. All analyses were conducted by SPSS version 15.0 statistical software. Results Sixty-five (32.5%) of the patients showed TTF-1 negativity and 135 (67.5%) of them showed TTF-1 positivity. The median survival for TTF-1 positive and negative patients was 19.6 and 12.2 months, respectively. We did not find any statistical significance in-between the parameters in terms of the survival data. In TTF-1-negative group, the survival time of epidermal growth factor receptor mutation positive (P = 0.049), cytokeratin 7 (CK7) positive (P = 0.009) patients and those who had received curative radiotherapy (P = 0.028) was significantly better as compared to TTF-1-positive group. We also analyzed the relation between TTF-1 and survival outcome or chemotherapy selection in Stage IV disease. We could not identify any correlation between TTF-1 and survival outcome or treatment selection. Conclusions This study suggests that TTF-1 is not a favorable prognostic factor in lung adenocarcinoma patients. The prognostic role of CK7 and relationship between TFF-1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma and predictive role of TTF-1 expression for the selection of first-line treatment in Stage IV lung adenocarcinoma should be validated in prospective and randomized studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of our study was to investigate the mRNA expression profile of glutamate transporter 1 (GLT-1) in different types and grades of brain tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme, astrocytomas (pilocytic, diffuse, anaplastic), oligodendrogliomas, ependydomas, medulloblastomas, and meningiomas using Real Time Quantitative PCR technique (qRT-PCR). METHODS A total of 66 surgically removed primary brain tumors were collected retrospectively and the total RNA was isolated from each tumor sample. cDNA was generated and GLT-1 mRNA expression was evaluated with quantitative qRT-PCR. RESULTS The mRNA expression of GLT-1 was significantly lower in primary brain tumors when compared to control brain tissues. GLT-1 expression was inversely correlated with the tumor grade, implicating its potential role in tumor progression. GLT-1 mRNA expression was lowest in grade 4 tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme and medulloblastomas. The tumors with grade 3 and 4 combined displayed lower expression compared to tumors with grades 1 and 2. In grade 4 tumors, female patients displayed lower GLT-1 expression compared to male patients. In addition, glioblastoma multiforme patients older than 65 years of age showed lower GLT-1 expression when compared to the patients younger than 65. CONCLUSION qRT-PCR was found to be a sensitive method in detecting GLT-1 expression in brain tumors. This study may lay the foundation for the future research about the excitotoxicity and brain tumors and GLT-1 might be a potential biomarker. Targeted therapies based on excitotoxic molecular pathways against gliomas should be designed to effectively combat these diseases.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most common causes of death all over the World (Rahib et al. in Cancer Res 74(11):2913-2921, 2014; Silbermann et al. in Ann Oncol 23(Suppl 3):iii15-iii28, 2012). It is crucial to diagnose this disease early by effective screening methods and also it is very important to acknowledge the community on various aspects of this disease such as the treatment methods and palliative care. Not only the oncologists but every medical doctor should be educated well in dealing with cancer patients. Previous studies suggested various opinions on the level of oncology education in medical schools (Pavlidis et al. in Ann Oncol 16(5):840-841, 2005). In this study, the perspectives of medical students on cancer, its treatment, palliative care, and the oncologists were analyzed in relation to their educational status. A multicenter survey analysis was performed on a total of 4224 medical school students that accepted to enter this study in Turkey. After the questions about the demographical characteristics of the students, their perspectives on the definition, diagnosis, screening, and treatment methods of cancer and their way of understanding metastatic disease as well as palliative care were analyzed. The questionnaire includes questions with answers and a scoring system of Likert type 5 (absolutely disagree = 1, completely agree = 5). In the last part of the questionnaire, there were some words to detect what the words "cancer" and "oncologist" meant for the students. The participant students were analyzed in two study groups; "group 1" (n = 1.255) were phases I and II students that had never attended an oncology lesson, and "group 2" (n = 2.969) were phases III to VI students that had attended oncology lessons in the medical school. SPSS v17 was used for the database and statistical analyses. A value of p < 0.05 was noted as statistically significant. Group 1 defined cancer as a contagious disease (p = 0.00025), they believed that early diagnosis was never possible (p = 0.042), all people with a diagnosis of cancer would certainly die (p = 0.044), and chemotherapy was not successful in a metastatic disease (p = 0.003) as compared to group 2. The rate of the students that believed gastric cancer screening was a part of the national screening policy was significantly more in group 1 than in group 2 (p = 0.00014). Group 2 had a higher anxiety level for themselves or their family members to become a cancer patient. Most of the students in both groups defined medical oncologists as warriors (57% in group 1 and 40% in group 2; p = 0.097), and cancer was reminding them of "death" (54% in group 1 and 48% in group 2; p = 0.102). This study suggested that oncology education was useful for the students' understanding of cancer and related issues; however, the level of oncology education should be improved in medical schools in Turkey. This would be helpful for medical doctors to cope with many aspects of cancer as a major health care problem in this country.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gastroenteropancreatic tumors (GEPNETs) is a heterogeneous disease with variable clinical course. While promising therapeutic options exist for other adult cancers, there are no new molecular-based treatments developed for GEPNETs. One of the main targets of cancer immunotherapy is the Programmed Cell Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) pathway. Our purpose was to investigate the profile of PD-L1 expression in different organs of GEPNETs and compare the conventional immunohistochemistry (IHC) with the RNA expression analysis via real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in order to determine which patients might be appropriate for immune check point-targeted therapy. METHODS A total of 59 surgically or endoscopically resected GEPNET tissues were retrospectively collected. The expression of PD-L1 and mRNA was evaluated with IHC. RESULTS The expression of PD-L1 was significantly associated with the high-grade classification (p=0.012). PD-L1 mRNA expression in tumor samples appeared to be higher compared to the corresponding normal tissues. In appendix, stomach and small intestine, the expression of PD-L1 mRNA was higher in the tumor tissues compared to the respective controls. In pancreas and colon, control tissues tend to have a higher PD-L1 mRNA expression compared to tumor tissues. PD-L1 mRNA expression was higher in GEP carcinomas (p=0.0031). CONCLUSION RT-PCR was found to be more sensitive in detecting PD-L1 expression than conventional IHC. This study may provide an important starting point and useful background information for future research about immunotherapy for appendix, stomach and small intestine neuroendocrine carcinomas.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the efficacy and adverse effect profiles of the first-line treatment of patients with KRAS wild type metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) in Turkey who were treated based on regimens including bevacizumab, cetuximab and panitumumab. METHODS This retrospective multicenter observational study involved a total of 238 patients who received chemotherapy in combination with either bevacizumab or cetuximab or panitumumab as first-line therapy for KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients with full medical records having pathological diagnosis of CRC adenocarcinoma were included in the study. The demographic, laboratory, histopathological and clinical characteristics of the patients were determined, and three groups were compared based on the study variables. RESULTS The mean age of the entire sample (n=238) was 58±11 years, 64% of which were male. The most frequent tumor localization was the rectum (37%) and G2 was the most common tumor grade (59.7%). About 63% of the patients had metastatic disease at diagnosis, with the most common site of metastasis being lung (14.7%) and liver (52.5%). Overall survival (OS) was 63.9%, while 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 91.7, 56.6 and 36.9%, respectively. The expected mean survival was 49.1 months (95% CI, 42.9-55.3). The 1-, 3- and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates following first-line treatment were 65.3, 26.1 and 5.6%, respectively, while disease free survival (DFS) in patients without metastasis at diagnosis was 68.5%. An analysis carried out disregarding which treatment the patients received (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) revealed that a panitumumab-containing combination resulted in poorer prognosis compared to bevacizumab or cetuximab-containing combination (p<0.001). With regard to the adverse effect profile, the most common adverse effects were neuropathy and neutropenia in patients receiving FOLFOX-bevacizumab; neutropenia and perforation in patients receiving FOLFIRI-bevacizumab; rash and pustular infection in patients receiving FOLFIRI-cetuximab; and diarrhea in patients who received FOLFIRI-panitumumab combination. CONCLUSION This is the first multicenter study performed in Turkey evaluating the response to treatment and adverse effects in patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are insufficient predictive markers for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). METHODS A total of 308 metastatic RCC patients were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The increased hemoglobin (Hb) group had significantly higher progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) compared with the decreased Hb group at 11.5 versus 6.35 months (p < .001) and 21.0 versus 11.36 months (p < .001) respectively. The 1- and 3-year OS rates were higher in the Hb increased group, i.e., 84% versus 64% and 52% versus 35% respectively. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that increased Hb levels after tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy could be a predictive marker of RCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study, they investigated whether mean thrombocyte volume (MPV) and MPV/platelet count ratio have a prognostic significance in advanced NSCLC or not. METHODS A total of 496 NSCLC patients at stage IIIB/IV and did not meet exclusion criteria were included in the study. The demographic features (age, gender, smoking habit), clinical characteristics (performance status, weight loss, disease stage, first-line treatment regimen), laboratory tests (levels of hemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase and calcium as well as MPV, MPV/platelet count ratio and counts of white blood cell, platelet), and histological features (histologic type, tumor grade) were recorded. RESULTS The MPV levels of all patients were determined as 10.2 {plus minus} 3.4 (range, 6.4-14.1 fL). With ROC curve analysis, the MPV/PC ratio was associated with a sensitivity of 67.8% and a specificity of 84.8% at a cutoff value of 0.47424 for presence of brain metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Univariate analysis showed that OS was significantly shorter in the group with an increased MPV level than in the other group (median OS time 6.8 months vs. 11.5 months, log-rank, P = .032). Multivariate analysis confirmed that an increased MPV level was an independent poor prognostic factor for OS (HR: 1.704, 95% CI: 1.274-3.415, P = .014). CONCLUSIONS Unlike results of previous studies, the study showed that increased MPV was an important prognostic factor in patients with NSCLC. Hence, an increased MPV level may be used as a prognostic biomarker to estimate for poor overall survival in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the predictive value of the mean platelet volume (MPV) and the MPV/platelet count ratio on the development of isolated bone metastasis in patients with breast cancer. METHODS A total of 121 previously untreated female patients with isolated bone metastases from breast cancer (group 1) were included in this retrospective cohort study. The patients enrolled in this study had similar age, biological subtypes, and duration of follow-up after diagnosis. Group 1 was compared with both 71 previously untreated women with breast cancer with no metastases at all (group 2) and 39 healthy women (group 3). Demographic data, laboratory tests and histological features of all of the patients in groups 1 and 2 were recorded and the study variables from each of the three groups were compared. RESULTS In group 1, the cut-off value (9.2 fL) for the MPV was determined and patients were stratified into 4 subgroups. The MPV was higher in group 1 than in either group 2 or group 3. Group 1 patients had a MPV of 8.8±3.1 fL (mean 5.1, range: 6.1-15.6) and the cut-off value for MPV was 9.2 fl. For patients in group 1, the MPV distribution was stratified into 4 groups as follows: group A included MPV values <6.08 fL, in group B values ranged from 6.09 to 8.46 fL, group C included values from 8.47 to 10.05 fL, and group D included patients with MPV values >10.06 fL. MPV and the presence of lymphovascular invasion were found to be independent risk factors for the development of isolated bone metastases. CONCLUSION We concluded that MPV can be used to predict the development of isolated bone metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several prognostic factors have been studied in NSCLC, although it is unknown which is most useful. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether pre-treatment serum albumin level has prognostic value in patients with Stage IIIB NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included a total of 204 patients with Stage IIIB NSCLC who met the inclusion criteria. Pre-treatment serum albumin levels and demographic, clinical, and histological characteristics, as well as laboratory variables were recorded. A cut-off value was defined for serum albumin level and the patients were stratified into four groups on thios basis. RESULTS The majority of the patients was males and smokers, with a history of weight loss, and squamous histological type of lung cancer. The mean serum albumin level was 3.2±1.7 g/dL (range, 2.11-4.36 g/dL). A cut-off value 3.11 g/dL was set and among the patients with a lower level, 68% had adenocarcinoma and 82% were smokers. The patients with low serum albumin levels had a lower response rate to e first-line chemotherapy with a shorter progression-free survival and overall survival. Multivariate analysis showed that low serum albumin level was an independent poor prognostic factor for NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS This study results suggest that low serum albumin level is an independent poor prognostic factor in patients with Stage IIIB NSCLC, associated with reduction in the response rate to first-line therapy and survival rates.

Abstract
Brain metastasis in colorectal cancer is highly rare. In the present study, we aimed to determine the frequency of brain metastasis in colorectal cancer patients and to establish prognostic characteristics of colorectal cancer patients with brain metastasis. In this cross-sectional study, the medical files of colorectal cancer patients with brain metastases who were definitely diagnosed by histopathologically were retrospectively reviewed. Brain metastasis was detected in 2.7 % (n = 133) of 4,864 colorectal cancer patients. The majority of cases were male (53 %), older than 65 years (59 %), with rectum cancer (56 %), a poorly differentiated tumor (70 %); had adenocarcinoma histology (97 %), and metachronous metastasis (86 %); received chemotherapy at least once for metastatic disease before brain metastasis developed (72 %), had progression with lung metastasis before (51 %), and 26 % (n = 31) of patients with extracranial disease at time the diagnosis of brain metastasis had both lung and bone metastases. The mean follow-up duration was 51 months (range 5-92), and the mean survival was 25.8 months (95 % CI 20.4-29.3). Overall survival rates were 81 % in the first year, 42.3 % in the third year, and 15.7 % in the fifth year. In multiple variable analysis, the most important independent risk factor for overall survival was determined as the presence of lung metastasis (HR 1.43, 95 % CI 1.27-4.14; P = 0.012). Brain metastasis develops late in the period of colorectal cancer and prognosis in these patients is poor. However, early screening of brain metastases in patients with lung metastasis may improve survival outcomes with new treatment modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unlike for fit elderly metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients, general approaches to initial treatment for the frail older mCRC patients are not clear. Our aim was to evaluate the efficiency and safety of first-line single-agent treatment in one such group. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated mCRC patients aged 70 or older with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of 2. They had no prior treatment and underwent first-line single-agent capecitabine or other monotherapies until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. RESULTS Thirty-six patients were included. Most (n:28, 77.8%) were treated with capecitabine. One patient achieved a complete response and 5 patients had a partial response for an overall response rate of 16.6%. Twelve patients (33.3%) remained stable. Median progression free survival was 5 months (confidence interval (CI), %; 3.59-6.40) and median overall survival was 10 months (95 CI%; 8.1-11.8). Grade 3-4 toxicity was found in 6 patients (16.6%). Febrile neutropenia was not observed and there were no toxicity-associated deaths. CONCLUSIONS Capecitabine is a safe chemotherapeutic agent with moderate activity for first-line treatment of older metastatic colorectal cancer patients with limited performance status.

Abstract
AIM Procalcitonin is a marker of bacterial and fungal infection and sepsis. The present study evaluated the relationship between serum procalcitonin levels and disease activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHOD A total of 61 patients who met the 1984 New York criteria for AS were studied. Twenty-four age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were recruited to this study as a control group. Disease activity was assessed by the Bath AS Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). The functional status of patients was evaluated by the Bath AS Functional Index (BASFI). Spinal mobility was measured by the Bath AS Metrology Index (BASMI). Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum procalcitonin levels were measured. RESULTS Thirty patients were on anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha treatment and 31 patients were on conventional treatment. Seventeen (28%) of the AS patients were active (BASDAI > 4) and 44 (72%) of the AS patients were in remission. The median ESR was 14 (34-6) mm/h and 4 (7-2) mm/h (P < 0.001) for the patient and control groups, respectively. The median CRP level was 0.91 (2.72-0.37) mg/dL and 0.15 (0.25-0.07) mg/dL in the patient and control groups, respectively (P < 0.001). Median BASDAI, BASFI and BASMI scores for all AS patients were 3.6 (5.25-2.29), 2.5 (4.22-0.91) and 3 (5-1), respectively. Serum procalcitonin levels were normal (< 0.05 ng/mL) for all patients and controls. CONCLUSION Serum procalcitonin levels were not high in AS patients and controls, and the levels were independent of disease activity and medications. If bacterial or fungal infection is suspected in an AS patient, serum procalcitonin level may be useful for diagnosis.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most frequently diagnosed cancers and a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The aim of the present study was to determine whether there was an improvement in the time to disease progression (TTP) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with first-line bevacizumab plus chemotherapy, according to tumor characteristics and metastatic sites. Tumor characteristics and tumor burden were considered to be predictive markers of the therapeutic efficacy of bevacizumab. The medical records of 705 patients with mCRC were retrospectively reviewed in three oncology centers between January, 2005 and September, 2012. A total of 101 patients completed their first-line bevacizumab-containing treatment. The median TTP was 6.93 months [interquartile range (IQR)=4.20-9.80 months] in patients treated with irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and bevacizumab vs. 7.42 months (IQR=6.08-10.68 months) in those treated with oxaliplatin, 5-FU and bevacizumab (P=0.589). When we compared patients with pulmonary metastases (median TTP, 9.9000 months) or other metastatic patients without pulmonary metastasis (median TTP, 6.9000 months), we observed a statistically significant difference (P=0.046). However, when the efficacy of bevacizumab was compared in terms of other tumor characteristics (tumor grade, size and lymph node involvement) and metastatic sites, the differences were not significant (P>0.05). We concluded that bevacizumab may be effective in all subgroups of patients with mCRC. Furthermore, bevacizumab with combination chemotherapy may be superior to combination chemotherapy only as the first-line treatment of patients with mCRC and pulmonary metastasis.

Abstract
Trastuzumab treatment does not prevent intracranial seeding and is largely ineffective for established central nervous system metastasis in HER2 overexpressing breast cancer patients. Combination therapy of lapatinib and capecitabine may be an effective treatment option for brain metastasis of HER2-positive breast cancer. We report a patient with breast cancer overexpressing HER-2 where brain metastases were successfully treated with radiation and a combination of lapatinib and capecitabine.

Abstract
The relationship between Helicobacter pylori (HP) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is very complex and still not well understood. However, many issues, even those as basic as whether HP induces or protects against GERD, are still controversial. The gastritis location could play also a role in the induction of GERD. Some investigators suggested that infection by the Cag A strain of HP seems to have a positive association with reflux esophagitis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between GERD, gastritis location, HP infection and Cag A positivity.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is the most common bacterial pathogen world-wide and has been identified in all countries. As long-term infection with H. pylori could potentially lead to duodenal or gastric ulcer disease, asymptomatic chronic gastritis, chronic dyspepsia, or gastric malignancy, including both adenocarcinoma and B-cell lymphoma, a large number of different treatment regimens aimed at eradicating H. pylori has been evaluated and reported. Despite numerous H. pylori treatment studies the optimum regimen for its eradication remains unclear. A treatment regimen, which is effective, safe and inexpensive could be used widespread and reduce the risks of the long-term complications of infection. In this study we compared the efficacy, side effects and cost-effectiveness of 12 different therapy regimens for H. pylori eradication by using meta-analysis methodology. 486 patients (256 male, 230 female; mean age 40.8 years) with H. pylori associated duodenal ulcer (n = 140), gastritis (n = 254), gastroduodenitis (n = 92) were treated with 12 different therapy-regimens. Endoscopy was performed at baseline and 6 weeks after discontinuation of eradication therapy. H. pylori status was assessed by urease test and histology. The therapy with a H2-receptor antagonist is less effective than the triple therapies with omeprazole or lansoprazole. Bismuth-based triple therapies have a mean overall eradication rate of 68%, but are limited by frequent side effects causing poor drug compliance.

Abstract
This randomized, prospective, placebo-controlled clinical trial compares the influence on nutritional status and survival of hydrazine sulfate with placebo addition to cisplatin-containing combination chemotherapy in patients with unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The trial consisted of 65 patients with advanced, unresectable NSCLC who had had no prior chemotherapy, were at least partially ambulatory (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] performance status [PS] level 0-2), and who had adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function. All patients received the same defined combination chemotherapy (cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin) and the same defined dietary counseling with the addition of either three times daily oral hydrazine sulfate (60 mg) or placebo capsules. Hydrazine sulfate compared with placebo addition to chemotherapy resulted in significantly greater caloric intake and albumin maintenance (P less than .05). Considering all patients, survival was greater for the hydrazine sulfate compared with placebo group (median survival, 292 v 187 days), but the difference did not achieve statistical significance. In favorable PS patients (PS 0-1), survival was significantly prolonged (median survival, 328 days v 209 days; P less than .05) for hydrazine sulfate compared with placebo addition. In a multifactor analysis, PS, weight loss, and liver involvement were the final variables. Objective response frequency and toxicity were comparable on both arms. Hydrazine sulfate may favorably influence nutritional status and clinical outcome of patients with NSCLC. Further definitive studies of hydrazine sulfate addition to therapeutic regimens in NSCLC are warranted.

Abstract
Hydrazine sulfate was evaluated using 24-hour dietary recalls and body weight determinations before and after 30 days of either placebo or hydrazine (60 mg, 3 times/d) oral administration in 101 heavily pretreated cancer patients with weight loss. After 1 month, 83% of hydrazine and only 53% of placebo patients completing repeat evaluation maintained or increased their weight (P less than 0.05). In addition, appetite improvement was more frequent in the hydrazine group (63% versus 25%, P less than 0.05). Although caloric intake was only slightly greater in hydrazine-treated patients, an increased caloric intake was more commonly associated with weight gain in patients receiving hydrazine compared with those receiving placebo (81% versus 53%, respectively). Hydrazine toxicity was mild, with 71% of patients reporting no toxic effects. Hydrazine sulfate circulatory levels were obtained from a subset of 14 patients who completed 30 days of treatment, with a single sample obtained in the morning at least 9 hours after the last dose. Mean maintenance hydrazine sulfate levels, determined using a spectrofluorometric assay, ranged from 0 to 89 ng/ml (mean 45 +/- 16 ng/ml). These data, which demonstrate an association between 1 month of hydrazine sulfate administration and body weight maintenance in patients with cancer, suggest future clinical trials of hydrazine sulfate are indicated to definitively assess its long-term impact on important clinical outcome parameters in defined cancer populations.

Abstract
The short term addition of nandrolone decanoate to combination chemotherapy given to patients with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer was evaluated in a randomized, prospective trial. Patients were treated with doxorubicin 50 mg/M2 intravenously, cyclophosphamide 300 mg/M2 intravenously, CCNU 50 mg/M2 orally, vincristine 1.4 mg/M2 intravenously, with and without cisplatin 50 mg/M2 intravenously, all given every 28 days. In addition, patients were randomized to receive either nandrolone decanoate 200 mg intramuscularly weekly for 4 weeks or no additional therapy. Patient age, disease extent, performance score, and pretreatment weight loss were similar in the two treatment arms. Objective antitumor response frequency was comparable on both treatment arms with median survival somewhat longer for patients receiving the androgen (median survival 5.5 months without and 8.2 months with nandrolone decanoate). There was a trend for less severe weight loss on the nandrolone decanoate arm (average weight loss 0.8 +/- 0.15 kg versus 0.21 +/- 0.18 kg, respectively), with half as many patients experiencing weight loss on nandrolone decanoate (25% versus 12%). A separate concurrent study has demonstrated decreased free testosterone levels in 66% of patients with advanced cancer studied prior to chemotherapy treatment, therefore, further prospective studies in which pretreatment testosterone levels are used to guide androgen administration are needed to define more precisely a role for androgen replacement therapy in non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
To evaluate the role of cisplatinum in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer, 48 patients received either a doxorubicin (adriamycin) 50 mg/m2 I.V., cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2 I.V., lomustine (CCNU) 50 mg/m2 p.o., vincristine (oncovin) 1.2 mg/m2 I.V. (ACCO) combination or the same drugs plus cisplatinum 50 mg/m2 I.V. (PACCO) in a prospective sequential trial. No patient had received prior chemotherapy. Patients receiving the two regimens were comparable with regard to median age, performance status, histologic subtype, disease extent, and weight loss. Objective response frequency was only 5% in the initial 20 patients receiving ACCO treatment compared to a response frequency of 28% (7% complete) in the 28 patients receiving cisplatinum in the PACCO treatment arm (p less than 0.06). Patients achieving objective response lived significantly longer than nonresponders (9.1 months vs. 3.8 months, p less than 0.05). Although median survival was similar on the two regimens (6.1 months for ACCO vs. 7.6 months for PACCO), more than four times as many patients were alive after 1 year in the PACCO treatment group (24% vs. 5%). Predominant toxicity consisted of moderately severe nausea and vomiting (63% on PACCO vs. 34% on ACCO, p less than 0.05) and myelosuppression with WBC less than 3,000/mm3 occurring in the majority of patients on both regimens. These results suggest cisplatinum addition to a doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, lomustine, and vincristine combination may be associated with increased 1-year survival in the non-small cell lung cancer patient population.
