Abstract
OBJECTIVE The general approach to malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) is to provide drainage in all patients with jaundice. However, the procedure is often palliative, and its contribution to survival is debated. This study aimed to investigate prognostic factors in patients undergoing percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) for MBO. PATIENTS AND METHODS All laboratory values were divided into two groups based on median values: low and high. Chi-square analysis was performed for dichotomous data. The time from the PTBD procedure to the date of death or last follow-up was considered overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariate analyses were calculated using the Cox regression model. RESULTS A total of 152 patients were included in the study, of whom 84 (55.3%) were male. The median OS was 71 ± 12.6 days (95% CI: 46.3-95.7). The 1, 3, 6, and 12-month OS rates were 74.3%, 45.2%, 29.2%, and 13%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, comorbidity (p=0.029), Eastern cooperative oncology group performance status (ECOG PS) (p=0.007), pre-PTBD albumin (p=0.025), post-PTBD aspartate aminotransferase (p=0.025), chemo naive (p<0.001), and post-PTBD chemotherapy (CT) (p=0.01) were found to be independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS In patients with poor prognosis MBO, the decision for PTBD should be made multidisciplinarily, taking into consideration ECOG PS, comorbidities, albumin levels, and prior CT status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, many studies have proven that percutaneous thermal ablation is an effective second-line treatment method with low complication rates in early-stage non-small cell lung carcinoma and lung metastases. Radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation are commonly used for this purpose. PURPOSE To evaluate the factors affecting the success of the percutaneous thermal ablation treatment with technical success, complication rates, and long-term follow-up results in metastatic lung lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous ablation was performed for 70 metastatic lung lesions in 35 patients (22 men, 13 women; mean age = 61.34 years; age range = 41-75 years). Radiofrequency ablation was performed in 53/70 (75.7%) lesions and microwave ablation in 17/70 (24.3%) lesions. RESULTS The technical success rate was 98.6%. Median overall survival, progression-free survival, and local recurrence-free survival of the patients were 33.9 months (range=25.6-42.1 months), 12 months (range=4.9-19.2 months), and 24.2 months (range=8.2-40.1 months), respectively. One- and two-year overall survival rates were 84% and 74%, respectively. Median progression-free survival times were 20.3 months and 11.4 months, respectively, according to the number of metastatic lung lesions being single and multiple, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.046). According to the number of lesions ≤3 and >3, the difference was also found statistically significant (P = 0.024) (14.3 months and 5.7 months, respectively). CONCLUSION In conclusion, CT-guided percutaneous thermal ablation is a safe and effective treatment method in metastatic lung lesions. The number of lesions is the most important factor in predicting treatment success.

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
Objective Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) is an invasive procedure used in patients with obstructive jaundice in the progress of some malignancies, and its most common complication is infection. We aimed to evaluate the patients who underwent PTC regarding their cultures, prophylaxis, and antibiotics used for treatment. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional study, patients who underwent PTC and were followed up in a medical oncology outpatient clinic between 2010-2017 were evaluated retrospectively. Patients' data were obtained from the hospital record system (FONET), epicrisis forms, and patient progress files. Results A total of 93 patients were included in the study. Prophylaxis was given in 50% of the cases. Complications developed in 68% of the cases after the intervention, and the infectious disease clinic consulted all. Blood cultures were obtained from 89% of the febrile patients; however, bile cultures were obtained only from 29%. The rate of resistant Gram-negative enteric bacteria in growing microorganisms was 52% (n=13). It was determined that 65% of the initiated empirical treatments were appropriate for the growth of microorganisms. Conclusion The growth rate was significantly higher in blood cultures than in bile cultures. The lower growth rate in bile culture was attributed to the low number of bile cultures. There was no significant difference regarding the growth rate and drug resistance of the microorganisms. Therefore, we think giving antibiotics as treatment rather than prophylaxis is more appropriate. Taking cultures will ensure that patients receive appropriate antibiotic therapy for the causative agent.

Abstract
Background Lymph node metastasis is a predominant prognostic indicator in colorectal cancer. Number of lymph nodes removed surgically was demonstrated to correlate with staging accuracy and oncological outcomes. However, number of lymph nodes removed depends on uncontrolled variables. Therefore, a more reliable prognostic indicator is needed. Calculation of ratio of positive lymph nodes to total number of removed lymph nodes may be an appealing solution. Materials and Methods We retrospectively analyzed data of 156 Stage III colorectal cancer patients whom underwent surgery between 2008 and 2015. Patients' demographic characteristics, tumor grade, location, vascular-perineural invasion status, number of removed lymph nodes, and ratio of positive lymph nodes to number of removed lymph nodes were recorded. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation coefficient while Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression model were performed for the prediction of survival and multivariate analysis, respectively. Results Number of removed lymph nodes did not correlate with survival, but it was inversely correlated with number of positive lymph nodes. Multivariate analysis showed that ratio of removed positive lymph nodes to the total number of lymph nodes was a significant prognostic factor for survival for a ratio equal or above 0.31 was a poor prognostic indicator (108 months vs. 34 months, hazard ratio: 4.24 [95% confidence interval: 2.15-8.34]; P < 0.019). Tumor characteristics failed to demonstrate any prognostic value. Conclusions This study showed that positive lymph node ratio (PLNR) is an important prognostic factor for Stage III colorectal cancer. Although 0.31 can be taken as threshold for "PLNR," prospective trials including larger patient groups are needed to validate its role as a prognostic indicator.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to describe the real-life practice outcomes of pertuzumab-trastuzumab-taxane (PTT) combination in visceral organ metastatic, trastuzumab-naive breast cancer (BC) patients. METHODS This study was conducted by Turkish Oncology Group and included 317 patients' data from 36 centers. RESULTS Median age was 51 (22-82). Median PFS was 28.5 months, while median OS was 40.3 months. Patients with brain metastases (n: 13, 4.1%) had worse PFS (16.8 m vs. 28.5 m; p = 0.002) and OS (26.7 m vs. 40.3 m; p = 0.009). Patients older than 65 years of age (n: 42, 13.2%) had significantly lower OS results (19.8 m vs. 40.3 m; p = 0.01). Two hundred sixty-eight patients (86.7%) received docetaxel while 37 patients (11.7%) received paclitaxel. PFS and OS were similar between taxane groups. In eight patients (2.5%), 5-40% ejection fraction decrement from baseline was detected without any clinical sign of heart failure. CONCLUSIONS Our RLP trial included only visceral metastatic, trastuzumab-naïve BC patients including cases with brain involvement who received PTT combination in the first-line treatment. Regardless of negative prognostic characteristics, our results are in parallel with pivotal trial. Further strategies for brain metastasis should be developed to improve outcomes despite encouraging results with PTT treatment. Taxane selection can be personalized and endocrine maintenance may further improve outcomes after taxanes were discontinued. To our knowledge, this is the largest scale real-life clinical practice study of pertuzumab-trastuzumab-taxane therapy to date.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential prognostic value of survivin is variably reported depending on the gastric cancer. OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the prognostic and predictive significance of serum survivin and its relation with survival and treatment response rates in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). METHODS Serum samples were prospectively collected from 50 patients with newly diagnosed LAGC. Serum samples of 32 healthy subjects were also collected as control groups for survivin levels. Serum survivin levels were evaluated at baseline and after three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in LAGC patients. RESULTS Median survivin level was 147 IU/L (range = 4.4-4936) at baseline and was 27 IU/L (range = 4.2-4737) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The difference between survivin levels of the control group (26 IU/L, range = 3.8-1430) and pre-treatment patient group was statistically significant (p< 0.001). Clinical response to mDCF regimen was classified as progressive (progressive disease) and non-progressive groups (partial response + stable disease). Baseline survivin levels were similar between patients in progressive and non-progressive groups (p= 0.55). Survivin levels were significantly reduced after chemotherapy in non-progressive group (p< 0.001). In contrast, serum survivin levels increased in a stepwise fashion from baseline to post-chemotherapy in patients with progressive disease (p= 0.06). Patients were divided into low and high survivin groups according to baseline median survivin levels. Median DFS was 12.4 and 14.6 months for low and high groups, respectively (p= 0.18). Moreover, median OS was 14.4 and 24.9 months for low and high group, respectively (p= 0.14). CONCLUSION It can be suggested that serum survivin can be used as a predictor of response to chemotherapy- but not survival- in LAGC patients receiving neoadjuvant mDCF chemotherapy. However, large multicenter prospective studies are required to confirm these results.

Abstract
AIM Modified docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (mDCF) therapy has been shown to be a well tolerated and highly effective regimen for metastatic gastric carcinoma. Herein we investigated the effectiveness of the mDCF combination as the first-line treatment in patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). METHODS A total of 80 patients with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC who were treated with mDCF between 2009 and 2015 were enrolled into this study. All patients were treated in the first-line with 2-6 cycles of mDCF chemotherapy which consisted of docetaxel 60 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) on day 1, cisplatin 60 mg/m2 IV on day 1, and 5-fluorouracil 600 mg/m2 IV for 5 days of continuous infusion, with cycles repeated every 21 days. RESULTS The most common grade 3-4 toxicities were neutropenia (22.5%), anemia (10%), thrombocytopenia (7.5%), nephrotoxicity (1.3%), hepatotoxicity (1.3%), and diarrhea (2.5%). Twelve patients (15%) experienced a febrile neutropenic episode. Dose modification was required in 22 (27.5%) of the patients due to drug toxicity. Complete response was achieved in 2.5% of all patients, while partial and stable responses were reported to be 43.8% and 25%, respectively, with a disease control rate of 71.3%. The median progression-free and overall survival was 7 (95% CI: 5.3-8.6) and 11.5 (95% CI: 9.4-13.7) months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The efficiency of the mDCF combination for induction chemotherapy has been well established previously. To our knowledge, this is one of the largest studies evaluating the survival and safety significance of mDCF chemotherapy as a first-line treatment in patients with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to analyze the factors that affect the axillary lymph node involvement in Turkish breast cancer patients with clinically non-palpable axillary lymph node. BACKGROUND Sentinel lymph node biopsy is the gold standard technique to evaluate the axillary lymph node status that directly influences the prognosis and the treatment options in breast cancer. METHODS Breast cancer patients without axillary lymph node involvement in clinic examination were enrolled the study. Patients were categorized into the two groups according to existence of axillary lymph node metastasis or not. Demographic, histopathological and clinical data of patients were revealed retrospectively. RESULTS One-hundred and eighty-seven patients were analyzed and 101 of patients fulfilled the criteria and were included the study. Metastatic lymph node was detected in 38 (37.6 %) patients (Group 1), and was negative in 63 (62.4 %) patients (Group 2). Sentinel lymph node metastasis were statistically significant higher in patients with Ki-67 ≥ 14 % than patients with Ki-67 < 14 % (51.9 % vs 22.4 %; p < 0.01). Likewise, the mean size of the sentinel lymph node was statistically significant higher in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Ki-67 proliferation index and sentinel lymph node size may provide a higher prediction about the sentinel lymph node involvement in patients with clinically negative axillary lymph nodes (Tab. 3, Fig. 1, Ref. 31).

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies seen in developed countries. Its current treatment is based on a multidisciplinary approach entailing surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Surgery can be performed with open and minimal invasive methods. Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and robot assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) are the final points to be reached in minimally invasive surgery. The first robotic colorectal surgical intervention was performed in 2001 after getting the FDA approval for the da Vinci surgical system in intraabdominal surgery, and since then, its use in this field gradually increased. Compared to open surgery, the advantage and superiority of robotic surgery, especially in narrow areas such as the pelvis, has been shown in many studies. It is a safe and feasible method. Although there are many existing studies about minimally invasive surgery, more randomized studies with larger case numbers should be carried out in order to establish the favorable oncological and functional outcomes of robotic surgery in addition to its obviously observed advantages.

Abstract
PURPOSE Breast cancer incidence increases in the elderly but data on treatment and outcomes of elderly patients is limited. We assessed the clinicopathological features and outcomes of our patients with breast cancer aged ≥80 years in comparison with their younger postmenopausal counterparts. METHODS The records of 83 patients diagnosed with breast cancer after the age of 80 (group 1) between 2003 and 2011 in 4 different centers were retrospectively evaluated and the clinicopathological features and outcomes were assessed in comparison with a control group (group 2) of 249 patients aged between 60-70 years. RESULTS Median ages at diagnosis were 82 years (range 80-95) and 64 years (range 60-70) for group 1 and group 2, respectively. The incidence of invasive cancers other than ductal or lobular type was higher in group 1 than in group 2 (20 vs 8%; p=0.0177rpar;. More patients in group 1 had Charlson Comorbidty scores ≥1 than those in group 2 (49 vs 36%; p=0.011). Patients in group 1 had more conservative operations and less axillary node dissections (ALND) and they received chemotherapy, trastuzumab or radiotherapy less frequently compared to their younger counterparts in group 2. Median follow up period was 36 months (range 1-178) in group 1 and 24 months (range 12-217) in group 2. Five-year disease free survival (DFS) was 53.7 and 75.9) (p=0.005), 5-year overall survival (OS) was 61.9% and 80.47percnt; in group 1 and group 2 (p=0.001), respectively. Advanced stage (stage IV vs stage I, II, III, p=0.051) and cerbB2 positivity (p<0.001) were found to be associated with shorter DFS in patients ≥80 years of age. CONCLUSION Although the majority of patients were undertreated in our study according to the current guidelines, mortality rates were quite low. Different biology of the disease in the elderly might explain this difference.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are some data regarding the role of cystatin C, a cysteine proteinase inhibitor, in determining the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) more accurately. We aimed to evaluate the correlation of serum cystatin C levels with the serum creatinine levels and GFR calculated by Cockcroft-Gault and modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formulations in the patients who received cisplatin-based chemotherapy. We also intended to demonstrate its potential use in the early prediction of the renal function changes in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the study, 34 patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy with various malignancies were included. The levels of cisplatin were determined prior to the chemotherapy and at the end of cisplatin infusion during the therapy. GFR was calculated by Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD formulations prior to the therapy and at the end of the third course. RESULTS A statistically significant linear correlation was found between the serum levels of cystatin C and creatinine prior to the chemotherapy (r = 0.42, p = 0.013). However, there was no correlation among the level of cystatin C subsequent to the cisplatin infusion and serum creatinine level following the third course and MDRD and creatinine clearance-Cockcroft-Gault formulations. CONCLUSION Even though the serum cystatin C levels were correlated with the serum creatinine levels in our study, it was concluded that it was not an appropriate parameter to predict the potential impairments in the renal function during the chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the studies of animals that demonstrate better wound healing after abdominal incisions with the use of a scalpel rather than electocautery, clinical experience does not confirm these findings. The purpose of this study was to compare the early postoperative and late-term wound complication rates between the scalpel and electrocautery in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies undergoing midline abdominal incisions. METHODS Patients undergoing midline abdominal incisions for gastrointestinal malignancies were randomly divided into two groups according to the method used to perform the incisions: scalpel or electrocautery. Complications were investigated, diagnosed and compared in the early postoperative and late-term follow-up periods. The independent samples, chi-square, and Student's t tests were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Two hundred and eighteen patients were included to this study, of whom 97 (44.5%) were in the scalpel group and 121 (55.5%) in the electrocautery group. Both groups were similar with respect to their demographic, operative and postoperative characteristics. The analysis revealed no significant statistical differences in consideration of the incidences of either wound infection in the early postoperative period or incisional hernia in the late-term follow-up period between these two study groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Scalpel and electrocautery are similar in terms of early postoperative and late-term wound complications when used to perform midline abdominal incisions. Therefore, the choice of method remains a matter of the surgeon's preference.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Condyloma acuminata are anogenital warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Neglected giant peri-anal condyloma acuminata (Buschke Loewenstein Tumours) require major surgical procedures. This report reflects our experience concerning the aggressive surgical approach to this rarely presented type of condyloma acuminata. METHODS The medical records of five patients, who had been surgically treated following the diagnosis of giant perianal condyloma acuminata between April, 1996 and September, 2003 were reviewed and evaluated retrospectively. Full thickness tumour and skin excisions were performed followed by delayed split thickness skin graftings in all patients. RESULTS Five patients (3 men, 2 women) who suffered from giant condyloma acuminata lesions obliterating the anal canal were evaluated. The mean age was 36.5 years (range: 24-52). All patients underwent total surgical excisions. The wounds were left open for secondary healing, and following a mean time period of 35 days, split thickness skin graftings were performed. The histopathologic examinations of the specimens of these five patients did not reveal any malignant transformations. No recurrences were detected at the end of a mean follow-up period of 22 months and all patients were considered to be disease-free at the end of their long-term 5-year follow-up periods. CONCLUSIONS Peri-anal condyloma acuminatum is usually a benign disease, but may grow locally to an excessive extent, developing into a Buschke Loewenstein Tumour, and may cause serious peri-anal hygiene problems. Even though the incidence of malignant transformation is rare, there is always a risk of this complication occurring. Transmission of the disease to other sexual partners is another point of concern. Therefore, this disease must be treated aggressively with total surgical excision. The results of our surgical treatment methods are satisfactory.

Abstract
The ANK device was developed for the treatment of fractures of the lateral malleolus occurring with rupture of the syndesmosis. While it provides the anatomic reduction of the fracture and the syndesmosis, it allows the physiologic movements of the fibula. It is not used for comminuted fractures of the lateral malleolus and in cases where fibular medullary canal is narrow. We included forty-nine patients who had the ANK device applied and at least 2 years follow-up. The mean follow-up was 41 months (range 24-124). The fractures were evaluated according to the Lauge-Hansen classification; 25 cases were evaluated as supination-external rotation, 11 cases were pronation-abduction, and 13 cases were pronation-external rotation type fractures. There were also 46 fractures of the medial malleolus and three ruptures of the deltoid ligament. Twenty-nine (59,2%) patients were evaluated as excellent, 12 (24,5%) as good, 5 (10.2%) as fair and 3 (6.1%) as poor. Arthrosis was observed in 3 (6.1%) of the patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe a technique of direct revascularisation of the bronchial artery using the left IMA and assess its medium term results in patients undergoing left single lung transplant (SLT). METHODS Between March 1991 and September 1993, 22 patients who underwent direct bronchial revascularisation at the time of left SLT (20 pedicled IMA, one free IMA, and one direct anastomosis to the aorta) have been followed up for a minimum period of 1 year (mean 30 +/- 12 months). Their mean age was 47.8 +/- 9.6 and the original disease was emphysema in 19, lymphangioleiomyomatosis in two, and pulmonary fibrosis in one. The mean ischaemia time was 269.7 +/- 23.4 min. RESULTS There was one early death (4.5%) and 3 patients were re-explored for bleeding. The actuarial survival at 1 and 3 years was 91 +/- 0.4% and 82.6 +/- 1%, respectively. Bronchial healing was excellent in all patients and angiographic studies showed patent vascular anastomosis in all 22 patients, with good run off in 20 and poor in two. One patient developed clinical obliterative bronchiolitis at 22 months (4.5%) during a period of follow up varying from 12 to 43 months (mean 30 S.D. 12). At last follow up the mean FEV1 was 1.4 +/- 0.4 and the mean FVC was 2.2 +/- 0.6. On average, each patient developed 1.5 +/- 0.6 infection episodes and 1 +/- 0.2 acute lung rejection. CONCLUSION It is concluded that the medium term results of direct bronchial revascularisation are good. However the influence of this procedure on long term results needs further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the success rate of DNA flow cytometry in determining the DNA ploidy status in ectopic pregnancy and first trimester spontaneous abortion. METHODS Thirteen women with ectopic pregnancy (Group I) and 17 women with first trimester spontaneous abortion (Group II) were included into this study. DNA flow cytometric analysis was performed on all specimens. Aneuploidy was classified according to DNA index. The first trimester spontaneous abortions were also karyotyped after long-term culture of chronic villi. Student-t test and Fisher's exact test were used in statistical comparisons. RESULTS DNA aneuploidy was found in five women with ectopic pregnancy (38.5%) versus in 12 women with first trimester spontaneous abortion (70.6%), and it was comparable. A triploidy and a tetraploidy were detected in group I. Six tubal ectopic pregnancies were unruptured at laparatomy and four of them had aneuploid DNA content. CONCLUSIONS We believed that DNA flow cytometry was successful in determining the ploidy status of ectopic pregnancy and first trimester spontaneous abortion. In addition, it was interesting that ectopic pregnancies with aneuploid DNA content tended to be unruptured. However, this suggestion needs to be confirmed by further studies with larger numbers of cases.
