Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the outcomes, and risk factors for recurrence in patients with early stage node-negative breast cancer in this study. METHOD Retrospective data analysis was done on patient treatment records from 1988 to 2018. The patient's demographic, clinical, pathological, and therapeutic characteristics were noted. To evaluate survival analysis and predictors of recurrence, we employed Kaplan-Meier analysis with the log-rank test. RESULTS A total of 357 patients in all were enrolled in the research. At the time of diagnosis, the median age was 50 (with a range of 18-81). A total of 85.5% of patients had undergone a lumpectomy, while 14.5% had a mastectomy. 78.7% of patients had sentinel lymph node biopsy, and 21.3% had axillary lymph node dissection. In addition, the patients received adjuvant radiotherapy (88.7%), adjuvant endocrine therapy (82.1%), and adjuvant chemotherapy (48.5%). Recurrence of the tumor occurred in 31 (8.7%) patients (local recurrence 45.2% and metastatic disease 54.8%). Ten- and twenty-year recurrence-free survival rates were 92% and 77%. 19 (5.3%) patients had also developed contralateral breast cancer. Ten-year survival rates were 91.6%, and 20-year survival rates were 76.6%, respectively. Aged over 65 years (p = 0.004), necrosis (p = 0.002), mitosis (p = 0.003), and nuclear pleomorphism (p = 0.049) were found as statistically significant factors for recurrence in univariate analysis. In the ROC analysis, the largest size of the tumor (over 1.45 cm, p = 0.07) remained outside the statistical significance limit in terms of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Thirty-year outcomes in individuals with early stage, node-negative breast cancer were shown in this study. We found that the recurrence ratios between 10 and 20 years were more frequent than the first 10 years during the follow-up. Despite the small number of patients who experienced a recurrence, we demonstrated that, in univariate analysis, being older than 65 and having some pathological characteristics (nuclear pleomorphism, mitosis, and necrosis) were statistically significant factors for disease recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) is a rare malignant papillary breast cancer accounting for approximately .5%-2% of all breast tumors. The aim of this multicenter study was to evaluate clinicopathologic features of EPC in addition to oncological outcomes and radiotherapy (RT) details. METHODS From 10 different academic hospitals in Turkey, we obtained pathology reports of 80 patients with histologically confirmed EPC between 2005 and 2022. Demographic, diagnostic, and treatment data were collected from medical records, retrospectively. Local failure, distant progression, toxicity-adverse effects, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival were evaluated, and survival analyzes were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Eighty patients with the diagnosis of misspelled sorry (ECP) were retrospectively evaluated. The median age of the patients was 63 (range, 35-85). After a median follow-up of 48 (range; 6-206) months, local recurrence was observed in three patients (4%). Local recurrence was less common in the patients who received whole breast RT with a tumour bed boost (p = .025). There were not any distant metastasis or disease-related death. RT was applied to 61% of the cases, and no treatment-related grade 3 or higher toxicity was reported in any of the patients. Five year OS, cancer-specific survival (CSS), and were observed as 85%, 100%, and 96%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS ECP is a rare, slow-progressing breast carcinoma associated with good prognosis, it is a disease of elderly patient, and usually occurs in postmenopausal women. It responds extremely well to optimal local treatments and appropriate adjuvant treatments on a patient basis, and has excellent OS and CSS ratios.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) anatomic stage groups have arguably been the most powerful method in predicting breast cancer outcomes. In the present study, we aimed to determine the differences between anatomical stage and clinical prognostic stage groups, which were obtained by adding biological markers such as histologic tumor grade, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 status to patients diagnosed with breast cancer, the rate of change in stage, and the effect of stage change on survival. MATERIALS/METHODS The study protocol was sent to all radiation oncology centers in Türkiye. Four centers enrolled their patients to the study. A total of 1470 stage I-III breast cancer patients with complete information on biological markers (histologic tumor grade, hormone receptor, and c-erb B2 receptor status), haven't been treated with neoadjuvant therapy were included to the study and evaluated retrospectively. The 8th edition of AJCC consolidated biological markers in to clinical prognostic stage groups. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate survival. The log-rank test was used to compare the difference between groups. The Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to determine the association between anatomic-prognostic stage, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS The median follow-up time was 82 (6-237) months. Median age of the patients was 52 years (20-88) and 865 cases (58.8%) were in the postmenopausal period. The axillary lymph node status was negative (N0) in 765 patients (52.1%). Tumor grade was grade I in 200 patients (13.6%), grade II in 812 patients (55.2%) and grade III in 452 patients (30.7%). Estrogen receptor status was positive in 1247 patients (84.8%), PR status was positive in 1178 patients and Her2-neu status was positive in 207 patients (14.1%). A stage change has been identified in a total of 777 patients (52.9%). Compared with the anatomic stage groups, application of the clinical prognostic stage groups assigned 46.4% cases lower and 6.5% cases higher stage. Five- and ten-year OS and DFS rates of the patients are 73.7%, 44.3% and 91.9%, 86.3% respectively. Age (p<0.001), tumor grade (p<0.001), ER status (p<0.001), PR status (p<0.001), cerbB2 receptor status (p = 0.025) were found to be statistically significant variables in multivariable analysis for OS. For DFS, multivariable analysis showed that age (p = 0.027), tumor grade (p = 0.005), anatomical stage (p<0.001) and assigned to higher stage (p = .001) were statistically significant variables. CONCLUSION Hormone receptors and c-erb B2 receptor status are independent variables which impact OS and DFS in our patient group which is mostly consisted of early-stage cases according to anatomical stage. In prognostic staging, upstaging stands out as an independent prognostic factor for DFS. The 8th edition of AJCC prognostic stage groups determines the prognosis much better in our patient cohort.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer are at risk for developing brain metastases. Different anti-HER2 treatments can be used in the management of the disease. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognosis and the factors affecting the prognosis in brain metastatic patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. METHODS Clinical and pathological features of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients and magnetic resonance imaging features at the onset of brain metastasis were recorded. Survival analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression methods. RESULTS Analyses of the study were performed by including 83 patients. The median age was 49 (25-76). All patients had HER2 receptor-positive tumors. Thirty-five (42.2%) patients had a hormone-positive disease. Thirty-two (38.6%) patients had de novo metastatic disease. Brain metastasis sites were found to be bilateral - 49.4%, right brain - 21.7%, left brain - 12%, and unknown - 16.9%, respectively. The median brain metastasis largest size was 16 mm (range 5-63). The median follow-up time from the post-metastasis period was 36 months. Median overall survival (OS) was found as 34.9 months (95% CI, 24.6-45.2). In multivariate analysis for factors affecting OS, estrogen receptor status (p = 0.025), number of chemotherapy agents used with trastuzumab (p = 0.010), number of HER2-based therapy (p = 0.010), and the largest size of brain metastasis (p = 0.012) were found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we demonstrated the prognosis in brain metastatic patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. When the factors affecting the prognosis were evaluated, we determined that the largest size of brain metastasis, estrogen receptor positivity, and the use of TDM-1 and lapatinib plus capecitabine consecutively during the treatment process affected the prognosis of the disease.

Abstract
The assessment of immune infiltrate in invasive breast carcinomas (IBCs), most commonly referred to as tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), is gaining importance in the current quest for optimal biomarker selection and prediction of prognosis. In this study, the impact of intensity of TILs and expressions of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), and lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3) in a group of breast carcinomas with regards to the prognosis and conventional pathologic parameters was scrutinized. For this purpose, 238 patients with IBCs containing different proportions of TILs were included in the study. IBCs with higher proportion of TILs were usually grade III carcinomas and correlated with poor prognostic features like receptor negativity, nonluminal intrinsic subtype (P<0.001). Similarly, PD-1 and LAG-3 positivity in immune cells (IC) were more likely to be positive in grade III IBC cases (P=0.004). In addition, PD-1 positivity in IC was more frequent in estrogen receptor-negative tumors (P=0.011) whereas LAG-3 positivity increased in large sized, estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor-negative tumors (P=0.050, 0.023, 0.04, respectively). CTLA-4 positivity in IC was more frequent in large-sized tumors (P=0.040). These 3 markers were also significantly associated with one another and also with the amount of TILs. In survival analysis, cases with prominent-TILs especially displaying CTLA-4, PD-1, and LAG-3 positivity appeared to have longer disease-free and overall survival (CTLA-4: P=0.027, P=0.024; PD-1: P=0.030, P=0.026; LAG-3: P=0.006, P=0.012, respectively). We conclude that the high proportion of TILs and as well as high expression of CTLA-4, PD-1, and LAG-3 in TILs have positively contributed to the outcome despite their correlation with poor conventional pathologic features. We suggest that these 3 immune markers can be used for the determination of proper treatment as well as prediction of prognosis in IBCs with TILs.

Abstract
e12597 Background: In this study, we aimed to assess the outcomes, and predictors of recurrence in patients with early-stage node-negative breast cancer. Methods: We evaluated data of the patients who were treated between 1988 and 2018 years retrospectively. Demographical, clinical, pathological, and treatment features of the patients were recorded. SPSS 25 version was used for statistical analysis. We used Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis to assess survival analysis. Also, we performed logistic regression and ROC analysis for recurrence predictors. Results: In total, 347 patients were included in the study.The median age was 50 (range, 18-81) at diagnosis. The percent of the patients who had stage 1 and 2 were 86.6% and 13.4%, respectively. The most common histopathological type was invasive ductal carcinoma (71.6%). Estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor positivity were 80.3% and 62.1%, respectively. Her2 receptor positivity was 15.9%. The number of patients who had undergone lumpectomy and mastectomy was 85.5% and 14.5%, respectively. Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed on 78.7% of the patients, and axillary lymph node dissection 21.3%. Also, the patients received adjuvant radiotherapy (88.7%), adjuvant chemotherapy (48.5%), and adjuvant hormonotherapy (82.1%). Tumor recurrence was occurred in 31 (8.7%) patients (local recurrence-45.2% and metastasis-54.8%). Five-, ten- and twenty-years recurrence ratios were 4.3%, 8%, and 23%. Also, contralateral breast cancer has occurred in 19 (5.3%) patients. During the study period, 30 (8.4%) patients died. Ten-years and twenty-years survival ratios were 91.6% and 76.6%, respectively. In univariate analysis, aged over 65 years (p = 0.004), nuclear pleomorphism (p = 0.049), mitosis (p = 0.003), and necrosis (p = 0.002) were statistically significant for recurrence. In ROC analysis, the tumor's longest size was not statistically significant for recurrence (for over 1.45 cm, p = 0.07). Conclusions: In this study, we determined thirty-years outcomes in patients with early-stage node-negative breast cancer. In the follow-up, we detected the recurrences ratios, between ten and twenty years, were more common than the first ten-years. Despite a small number of patients who had a recurrence, we showed that being age over 65 years and pathological features (nuclear pleomorphism, mitosis, and necrosis) were statistically significant for disease recurrence in univariate analysis.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Omitting axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) following sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is still controversial. In this study, we evaluated factors affecting local recurrence and outcome in patients with LABC, who underwent SLNB alone after NAC. METHODS: Between 2004 to 2018, 320 patients with clinically node-positive LABC who received NAC and underwent SLNB alone after negative axillary staging were analyzed. All patients had breast and/or regional nodal irradiation. RESULTS: Median age was 46 (23-70). Of those, 228 patients had ypN0 disease (71.25%), whereas 92 patients had ypN(+) disease including 19 (20.6%) isolated tumor cells (ITC), 33 micrometastasis (35.9%) and 40 macrometastases (43.5%). At a median follow-up of 37 months (24-172), one patient (0.3%) with macrometastatic SLN having extracapsular extension was found to have locoregional recurrence at the 60th month. Five-year disease-free survival (DFS) and disease specific survival (DSS) rates were found as 87% and 95%, respectively. Patients with cT3&4 (HR=2.22, 95% CI; 1.07-4.62), non-luminal molecular pathology (HR=2.71, 95% CI, 1.23-5.97), and non-pCR in the breast (HR=2.21, 95% CI, 0.94-5.17) were found to have an increased HR compared to others in 5-year DFS. However, no significant differences could be found between patients ypN0, ypN-ITCµmetastasis and ypN-macrometastasis regarding 5-year DFS and DSS rates. CONCLUSIONS: ALND could be safely avoided in selected patients with LABC who underwent SLNB after NAC having cT1-2, luminal pathology, breast and/or nodal pCR or low volume nodal disease, as long as axillary radiotherapy is provided.

Abstract
e17507 Background: Standard treatment of locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LRA-NPC) is CCRT with or without adjuvant chemotherapy (CT). The value of adding IC to CCRT in LRA-NPC is unclear. We aimed to retrospectively evaluate LRA-NPC patients treated with IC followed by CCRT and analyse patient, tumor, treatment characteristics and outcome. Methods: Between 2004 and 2016, 202 patients with nonmetastatic LRA-NPC (stage 3-4), 144 males and 58 females ranging from 17 to 75 (median 49) years old were treated with IC followed by CCRT. Eleven (%5.4) patients had keratinised (WHO I), and 191 (%94.6) had nonkeratinised or undiffrentiated (WHO II-III) carcinoma. Cumulative radiation dose to primary tumor ranged from 60 to 74 (median 70) Gy. Ninety-one (%45) of the patients received 2-dimensional and 111 (%55) received intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). IC consisted of taxane (T)(75 mg/ m2) and platinum (P)(75 mg/m2) combination (199 patients) or P and fluoruracil or epirubicine (3 patients) combination and 188 of the patients received 3 cycles of IC. Concomittant P was used either weekly (40 mg/m2, 25 patients) or every 3-weekly (100 mg/m2, 177 patients) application. Follow-up ranged from 5 to 167 months (median, 72.5 months). Results: Treatment failure was observed in 52 (%25.7) of the patients (21 local, 13 regional and 27 distant failures). Distant failure rate of all the patients exceeds 13%. Five and 10 years disease free survival (DFS) rates are 75.2% and 70.4% and overall survival (OS) rates are 78.9% and 64% respectively. In univariate analysis patient age favoring those below 49 and stage of disease favoring WHO II-III were all significant predictors of DFS and OS. In addition pathology was a significant predictor of DFS. Conclusions: LRA-NPC patients treated with IC followed by CCRT have a high locoregional control rate. Despite the use of systemic (induction) chemotherapy distant control remains insufficient and continues to be a challenge in NPC treatment. Besides improving locoregional control more effective systemic therapy is needed. [Table: see text]

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to determine the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment details and outcome of patients with brain metastasis from epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). METHODS This study included 21 patients diagnosed with brain metastasis from EOC between 1999 and 2009. RESULTS Median age was 61 years (range 38-77). The median time elapsed from EOC diagnosis to brain metastasis detection was 32 months. Single brain metastases were found in 10 (48%) cases, and there was extra-cranial disease in 11 (52%) cases. During the mean 86 months of follow-up, 18 of the patients (86%) died of the disease and 3 (14%) were alive with disease. The median survival time after the initial diagnosis of brain metastasis was 9 months. The median overall survival (OS) from initial diagnosis of EOC was 50 months. In univariate analysis, prolonged time from initial diagnosis to central nervous system metastasis (more than 32 months) (p = 0.001), treatment with radiotherapy (p < 0.001), optimal cytoreductive operation (p = 0.02) were all positively correlated with OS. CONCLUSION The prognosis of patients with brain metastasis from EOC is still poor. The significant predictors of survival in our series were whole brain radiotherapy, prolonged elapsed time from initial diagnosis to brain metastasis and optimal cytoreductive surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the prognostic importance of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX), a hypoxic biomarker, after neoadjuvant treatment in Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. METHODS Tissue CA IX expression was examined after surgical resection in 77 patients who had undergone neoadjuvant treatment. The effects of CA IX overexpression and other clinical factors on disease-free survival and overall survival were investigated. RESULTS In multivariate analysis, number of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) courses and gender emerged as significant independent predictors for disease-free survival, where administration of 2-3 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) (HR, 3.2 [95% CI 1.3-7.6], p = 0.009) and female gender were associated with poor survival (HR, 3.2 [95% CI 1.3-7.7], p = 0.009). The only significant independent predictor for overall survival was recurrence (HR, 5.6 [95% CI 2.4-12.8], p < 0.001). On the other hand, CA IX overexpression was not associated with disease free survival (p = 0.560) or overall survival (p = 0.799). DISCUSSION Our results do not suggest a prognostic role for CA IX overexpression in stage III NSCLC patients who received neoadjuvant treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared pathological prognostic stage (PPS) with anatomic stage (AS) groups according to the updated version of breast cancer staging of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th Edition. MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated 353 breast cancer patients initially treated with surgery. AS and PPS were performed by evaluating the pathological data of the patients according to the AJCC 8th Edition breast cancer updated version. Stages and survival rates between the 2 staging systems were evaluated and compared. Disease-free survival (DFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were calculated according to both staging systems using Kaplan-Meier test. After the PPS change was made in each AS group, 10-year DFS and 10-year DSS of the changed groups were compared using the chi-square test. RESULTS The median follow-up was 114 months and the median age was 48 years. In 192 (54.4%) patients the stage change. The most significant change was 1-level downstaging in 70 (22.4%) patients, and 2-levels downstaging in 78 (22.1%) patients. Five-year DFS, 10-year DFS, 5-year DSS rate, and 10-year DSS were 86.3%, 80.3%, 93.8%, and 84.1%, respectively. The PPS system was found to provide better prognostic information when the patients with AS IIB and IIIA groups were compared according to the PPS. CONCLUSIONS According to the updated version of the AJCC 8th Edition, half of our patients had stage change when they were evaluated according to AS and PPS system. PPS gives better information about prognosis than does AS.

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
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of topical dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), intralesional and systemic carnitine as monotherapy and in combination against ulceration in rats induced by intradermal doxorubicin extravasation. Sixty-nine 3-month-old male Wistar albino rats, weighing between 200-225 g, were used in this study. Rats were applied monotherapy or a combination of topical DMSO, intraperitoneal or intralesional carnitine. Control groups received saline or no drug. The necrotic area was measured and extravasated neutrophil leukocytes were counted in healthy tissue adjacent to necrotic areas. Monotherapy with topical and systemic carnitine did not significantly reduce the size of necrotic areas. However, topical DMSO had reduced necrotic areas and inflammatory cells significantly and the addition of systemic carnitine to topical DMSO had increased the efficacy. DMSO is an effective, safe, and easy-to-apply treatment for doxorubicin-induced extravasation. Further clinical studies are needed to evaluate the use of carnitine in combination with DMSO.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the protective effects of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) on chronic oxidative stress in the liver, kidney and serum with biochemical parameters such as malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxidation protein product (AOPP), catalase, glutathione (GSH), and free-thiols (F-SH). METHODS Thirty Wistar albino female rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: group I (control, n=10), group II (irradiation-alone group, n=10) and group III (DMSO and irradiation group, n=10). Rats in groups II and III were irradiated with a single dose of 6 Gy to the entire liver and right kidney. Group III received DMSO 4.5 g/kg by intraperitoneal injection 30 min before irradiation. At the end of the 24th week, the rats were sacrificed and their trunk blood, kidney and liver tissues were collected. RESULTS Group II rats showed increased levels of lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation, with decreased GSH, FSH and catalase levels in all specimens when compared with group I. Serum and kidney MDA and AOPP levels were significantly lower in group III when compared with group II. However, serum and kidney GSH and F-SH levels were significantly higher in group III when compared with group II. The additive effect on catalase was seen only in the serum. CONCLUSION DMSO is a protective agent on chronic oxidative stress in the serum and kidney tissue. No oxidant or antioxidant effect of DMSO in the liver was seen.

Abstract
Background We aimed to evaluate retrospectively the correlation of loco-regional relapse (LRR) rate, distant metastasis (DM) rate, disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in a group of breast cancer (BC) patients who are at intermediate risk for LRR (T1-2 tumor and 1-3 positive axillary nodes) treated with or without postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) following modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Methods Ninety patients, with T1-T2 tumor, and 1-3 positive nodes who had undergone MRM received adjuvant systemic therapy with (n = 66) or without (n = 24) PMRT. Patient-related characteristics (age, menopausal status, pathological stage/tumor size, tumor location, histology, estrogen/progesterone receptor status, histological grade, nuclear grade, extracapsular extension, lymphatic, vascular and perineural invasion and ratio of involved nodes/dissected nodes) and treatment-related factors (PMRT, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy) were evaluated in terms of LRR and DM rate. The 5-year Kaplan-Meier DFS and OS rates were analysed. Results Differences between RT and no-RT groups were statistically significant for all comparisons in favor of RT group except OS: LRR rate (3%vs 17%, p = 0.038), DM rate (12% vs 42%, p = 0.004), 5 year DFS (82.4% vs 52.4%, p = 0.034), 5 year OS (90,2% vs 61,9%, p = 0.087). In multivariate analysis DM and lymphatic invasion were independent poor prognostic factors for OS. Conclusion PMRT for T1-2, N1-3 positive BC patients has to be reconsidered according to the prognostic factors and the decision has to be made individually with the consideration of long-term morbidity and with the patient approval.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the prognostic factors of patients with renal cell carcinoma. The treatment results such as distant metastasis-free survival and overall survival of 59 previously untreated patients were retrospectively analysed. Median follow-up was 17.5 months (3.8-88.5 months). Overall survival was 22.4 months (3-87 months). Distant metastasis developed in 35 (59%) patients. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (P=0.022), tumour size (P=0.025) and lymphatic invasion (P<0.0001) were significantly effective prognostic factors for distant metastasis-free survival on multivariate analysis. Related to overall survival, gender (P=0.025), ECOG performance status (P=0.027), nuclear grade (P=0.002), tumour size (P=0.029), T stage (P=0.044), nodal involvement (P=0.003), surgical margin (P=0.046), renal sinus invasion (P<0.0001), perineural growth (P=0.001) and lymphatic invasion (P<0.0001) were significant prognostic factors on univariate analysis. Gender (P=0.008), ECOG performance status (P=0.027), tumour size (P=0.025) and lymphatic invasion (P<0.0001) retained their significance on multivariate analysis. We concluded that the most important prognostic factors for patients with renal cell carcinomas are ECOG performance status, tumour size and lymphatic invasion.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the prognostic factors affecting locoregional control (LRC) and overall survival (OS) of patients with laryngeal carcinoma who were not candidates for surgical treatment due to tumour or host factors but were treated with definitive radiotherapy (RT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-three consecutive patients, treated with definitive RT between 1999 and 2005, were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had histologically proven squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx. The median age was 62 years (range 43-83 years). Follow-up ranged from 22 days to 68 months (median 32 months). RESULTS The LRC rates at 2 and 5 years were 70% and 48%. The 2- and 5-year OS rates were 65% and 40%. No statistically significant relationship was found between World Health Organization performance status score (WHO PS) and age (p=.21), tumour site (p=.42), overall stage (p=.11), T stage (p=.19), and N stage (p=.69). Multivariate analyses showed that a WHO PS score>or=2 (p<.0001) and RT treatment time>or=50 days (p=.0172) significantly decreased LRC. Moreover, a WHO PS score>or=2 (p<.0001), RT treatment time>or=50 days (p=.0138), and RT dose<66 Gy (p=.04) were significantly negative prognostic factors on OS. CONCLUSION Definitive RT, in patients with early- and more advanced-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx, is an important treatment option. It is clear that patients with good pretreatment PS would get better results from definitive RT.

Abstract
The incidence of skeletal muscle metastases is reported to be less than 1% of metastases of haematogenous origin. Distant skeletal muscle metastases from head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are exceedingly rare. Only a case with tongue carcinoma metastasized to paravertebral muscles, has been reported so far. The reasons for the rarity of metastatic involvement of skeletal muscle are still unclear. The presence of skeletal muscle metastases in the setting of disseminated disease offers no hope for curative treatment. We report an unusual case of a 63-year-old patient with tongue carcinoma metastasizing to the left shoulder muscles. To our knowledge, this is the first such case to be reported in the English medical literature.
