Abstract
To evaluate radiological and clinical features in metastatic anaplastic lymphoma kinase+ non-small cell lung cancer patients and crizotinib efficacy in different lines. This national, non-interventional, multicenter, retrospective archive screening study evaluated demographic, clinical, and radiological imaging features, and treatment approaches in patients treated between 2013-2017. Totally 367 patients (54.8% males, median age at diagnosis 54 years) were included. Of them, 45.4% were smokers, and 8.7% had a family history of lung cancer. On radiological findings, 55.9% of the tumors were located peripherally, 7.7% of the patients had cavitary lesions, and 42.9% presented with pleural effusion. Pleural effusion was higher in nonsmokers than in smokers (37.3% vs. 25.3%, P = .018). About 47.4% of cases developed distant metastases during treatment, most frequently to the brain (26.2%). Chemotherapy was the first line treatment in 55.0%. Objective response rate was 61.9% (complete response: 7.6%; partial response: 54.2%). The highest complete and partial response rates were observed in patients who received crizotinib as the 2nd line treatment. The median progression-free survival was 14 months (standard error: 1.4, 95% confidence interval: 11.2-16.8 months). Crizotinib treatment lines yielded similar progression-free survival (P = .078). The most frequent treatment-related adverse event was fatigue (14.7%). Adrenal gland metastasis was significantly higher in males and smokers, and pleural involvement and effusion were significantly higher in nonsmokers-a novel finding that has not been reported previously. The radiological and histological characteristics were consistent with the literature data, but several differences in clinical characteristics might be related to population characteristics.

Abstract
While some clinics have adopted abbreviated neoadjuvant treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer, there remains a shortage of comprehensive clinical data to support this practice. This is a retrospective, multicenter study. A total of 142 patients were included in the study who are HER2-positive breast cancer, aged ≤ 65 years, with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%, received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and underwent surgery at 10 different oncology centers in Türkiye between October 2016 and December 2022. The treatment arms were divided into 4-6 cycles of docetaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab for arm A, 4 cycles of adriamycin/cyclophosphamide followed by 4 cycles of taxane/TP for arm B. There were 50 patients (35.2%) in arm A and 92 patients (64.8%) in arm B. The median follow-up of all of the patients was 19.9 months (95% CI 17.5-22.3). The 3-year DFS rates for treatment arms A and B were 90.0% and 83.8%, respectively, and the survival outcomes between the groups were similar (p = 0.34). Furthermore, the pathologic complete response rates were similar in both treatment arms, at 50.0% and 51.1%, respectively (p = 0.90). This study supports shortened neoadjuvant treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer, a common practice in some clinics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare yet highly malignant tumor associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study aims to delineate the clinical features, survival patterns, and treatment modalities of ACC, providing insights into the disease's prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 157 ACC patients was performed to assess treatment methodologies, demographic patterns, pathological and clinical attributes, and laboratory results. The data were extracted from the hospital's database. Survival analyses were conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method, with univariate and multivariate analyses being performed through the log-rank test and Cox regression analyses. RESULTS The median age was 45, and 89.4% had symptoms at the time of diagnosis. The median tumor size was 12 cm. A total of 117 (79.6%) patients underwent surgery. A positive surgical border was detected in 26 (24.1%) patients. Adjuvant therapy was administered to 44.4% of patients. The median overall survival for the entire cohort was 44.3 months. Median OS was found to be 87.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 74.4-100.2) in stage 2, 25.8 (95% CI 6.5-45.1) months in stage 3, and 13.3 (95% CI 7.0-19.6) months in stage 4 disease. Cox regression analysis identified age, Ki67 value, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, and hormonal activity as significant factors associated with survival in patients with nonmetastatic disease. In metastatic disease, only patients who underwent surgery exhibited significantly improved overall survival in univariate analyses. CONCLUSION ACC is an uncommon tumor with a generally poor prognosis. Understanding the defining prognostic factors in both localized and metastatic diseases is vital. This study underscores age, Ki67 value, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, and hormonal activity as key prognostic determinants for localized disease, offering critical insights into the complexities of ACC management and potential avenues for targeted therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) remains a challenging condition to treat despite recent advancements. This retrospective study aimed to assess the activity and tolerability of Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) PSMA-617 radioligand therapy (RLT) in mCRPC patients across multiple cancer centers in Turkey. The study included 165 patients who received at least one cycle of Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT, with the majority having bone metastases and undergone prior treatments. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels were assessed before each treatment cycle, and the biochemical response was evaluated in accordance with the Prostate Cancer Work Group 3 Criteria. The PSA decline of ≥50% was classified as a response, while an increase of ≥25% in PSA levels was indicative of progressive disease. Neither response nor progression was considered as stable disease. The Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT led to a significant PSA response, with 50.6% of patients achieving a >50% decrease in PSA levels. Median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival were 13.5 and 8.2 months, respectively. Patients receiving Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) had a higher OS compared to those receiving Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT alone (18.2 vs 12.3 months, P = .265). The treatment was generally well-tolerated, with manageable side effects such as anemia and thrombocytopenia. This study provides real-world evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT in mCRPC patients, particularly when used in combination with ARPIs. These findings contribute to the growing body of evidence on the potential benefits of PSMA-targeted therapies in advanced prostate cancer.

Abstract
The prognosis of patients with advanced HCC can vary widely depending on factors such as the stage of the cancer, the patient's overall health, and treatment regimens. This study aimed to investigate survival outcomes and associated factors in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this retrospective study, data from 23 medical oncology clinics were analyzed. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) values were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors associated with survival which were identified in univariate analysis were subsequently evaluated in a multivariate Cox-regression survival analysis was conducted using the backward stepwise (Conditional LR) method to determine the independent predictors of PFS and OS. Of 280 patients, 131 received chemotherapy and 142 received sorafenib, 6 received atezolizumab plus bevacizumab and 1 received nivolumab for first-line setting. The median follow-up time was 30.4 (95%CI 27.1-33.6) months. For-first line, median PFS was 3.1 (95%CI2.7-3.5) months, and it was significantly longer in patients who received sorafenib or atezolizumab-bevacizumab or nivolumab (PFS 5.8 (95%CI 4.2-7.5) than in those received chemotherapy (PFS 2.1 (95%CI 1.9-2.3) in the first-line setting (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that male gender (HR: 2.75, 95% CI: 1.53-4.94, p = 0.01), poor ECOG performance score (HR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.10-3.21, p = 0.02), higher baseline AFP level (HR: 2.38, 95% CI: 1.54-3.67, p < 0.001) and upfront sorafenib treatment (HR,0.38; 95% CI: 0.23-0.62, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with shorter PFS. The median OS was 13.2 (95%CI 11.1-15.2) months. It was significantly longer in patients who received sorafenib or atezolizumab-bevacizumab or nivolumab in the first-line setting followed by TKIs (sorafenib or regorafenib, OS 18.6 (95%CI 13.8-23.5)) compared to those who received chemotherapy (OS 10.3 (95%CI 6.6-14.1)) in the first-line setting. The multivariate analysis revealed that upfront chemotherapy treatment approach, male gender (HR: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.07-2.94, p = 0.02), poor ECOG performance score (HR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.24-3.09, p = 0.004) and Child-Pugh score, presence of extrahepatic disease (HR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.09-2.18, p = 0.01), and higher baseline AFP value (HR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.03-2.19, p = 0.03) were significantly associated with poor prognosis. Additionally, regarding of treatment sequence, upfront sorafenib followed by regorafenib showed a significantly lower risk of mortality (HR: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.25-0.66, p < 0.001). Sorafenib followed by regorafenib treatment was associated with a significantly lower risk of mortality rather than upfront sorafenib followed by BSC group or upfront chemotherapy followed by TKIs. These findings underscore the importance of the optimal treatment sequences to improve survival in patients with advanced HCC.

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
AIM Description of patient characteristics, effectiveness and safety in Turkish patients treated with pazopanib for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS). PATIENTS AND METHODS This multicenter study is based on retrospective review of hospital medical records of patients (≥ 18 years) treated with pazopanib for non-adipocytic metastatic STS at 37 Oncology clinics across Turkey. Objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated with further analysis of data on the three most common histological subtypes (leiomyosarcoma [LMS], undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma [UPS], synovial sarcoma [SS]) in the cohort. RESULTS Data of 552 adults (57.6% women, median age: 52 years) were analyzed. DCR and ORR were 43.1% and 30.8%, respectively. Median PFS was 6.7 months and OS was 13.8 months. For LMS, UPS and SS, median PFSs were 6.1, 5.9 and 7.53 months and median OSs were 15.03, 12.87 and 12.27 months, respectively. ECOG ≥ 2 was associated with poor PFS and OS. Liver metastasis was only a factor for progression. Second-line use of pazopanib (vs. front-line) was associated with better PFS, its use beyond third line predicted worse OS. Adverse events (AE) occurred in 82.7% of patients. Most common AEs were fatigue (58.3%) and anorexia (52.3%) which were graded as ≥ 3 in 8.2% and 7.4% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSION Pazopanib is effective and well-tolerated in treatment of non-adipocytic metastatic STS. Its earlier use (at second-line), good performance status may result in better outcomes. Worldwide scientific collaborations are important to gain knowledge on rarer STS subtypes by conducting studies in larger patient populations.

Abstract
Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma (sRCC) is a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and is associated with a poor prognosis. We reviewed the outcomes of patients from oncology centers in Turkey. Our aim is to share our real-life experience and to contribute to the literature. The demographic and clinical features, treatment, and survival outcomes of 148 patients with sRCC were analyzed. The median age at the time of diagnosis was 58 years (range: 19-83 years). Most patients (62.8%) had clear-cell histology. Most patients were in the intermediate Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) risk group (67.6%) and were stage 4 at the time of diagnosis (63.5%). The most common sites of metastasis were the lung (60.1%), lymph nodes (47.3%), and bone (35.8%). The patients received a median of two lines (range: 0-6) of treatment. The most common side effects were fatigue, hematological side effects, hypertension, and hypothyroidism. The median follow-up was 20.9 months (range: 1-162 months). The median overall survival (OS) was 30.8 months (95% confidence interval: 24.9-36.7 months). In multivariate analysis, high MSKCC scores, sarcomatoid differentiation rates >50%, having stage 4 disease, and having lung metastasis at the time of diagnosis were independent factors for poor prognosis affecting OS. No difference was observed between patients who received tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) as the first or second-line treatments. Similarly, no difference between TKI and immunotherapy as the second-line treatment. In conclusion, sRCC is a rare variant of RCC with a poor prognosis and response to treatment. Larger-scale prospective studies are needed to define an optimal treatment approach for longer survival in this aggressive variant.

Abstract
In our study, we aimed to evaluate the pathological response rates and side effect profile of adding pertuzumab to the treatment of HER2+ locally advanced, inflammatory, or early-stage breast cancer. This study was conducted by the Turkish Oncology Group (TOG) with data collected from 32 centers. Our study was multicentric, and a total of 364 patients were included. The median age of the patients was 49 years (18-85 years). Two hundred fifteen (60%) of the cases were hormone receptor/HER2+ positive(ER+ or PR+, or both), and 149 (40%) of them were HER2-rich (ER and PR negative). The number of complete responses was 124 (54%) in the docetaxel+trastuzumab+pertuzumab arm and 102 (45%) in the paclitaxel+trastuzumab+pertuzumab arm, and there was no difference between the groups in terms of complete response. In 226 (62%) patients with complete response, a significant correlation was found with DCIS, tumor focality, removed lymph node, and ER status P < 0.05. Anemia, nausea, vomiting, myalgia, alopecia, and mucosal inflammation were significantly higher in the docetaxel arm, P < 0.05. In our study, no statistical difference was found between the before-after echocardiography values. DCIS positivity in biopsy before neoadjuvant chemotherapy, tumor focality; the number of lymph nodes removed and ER status were found to be associated with pCR. In conclusion, we think that studies evaluating pCR-related clinicopathological variables and radiological imaging features will play a critical role in the development of nonsurgical treatment approaches.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of everolimus (EVE) plus exemestane (EXE) in hormone-receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients in real-life settings. METHODS Overall, 204 HR+, HER2- MBC patients treated with EVE + EXE after progressing following prior endocrine treatment were included. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) and safety data were analyzed. RESULTS The objective response rate, median PFS, and median OS were 33.4%, 8.9 months, and 23.4 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that negative progesterone receptor status was a significant determinant of poor treatment response (p = 0.035) and PFS (p = 0.024). The presence of bone-only metastasis was associated with better treatment response (p = 0.002), PFS (p < 0.001), and OS (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION We confirmed the favorable efficacy and safety profile of EVE + EXE for HR+, HER - MBC patients.

Abstract
Background Increasing use of 18F-FDG PET/CT in cancer patients, has led to more common detection of 18F- FDG uptake in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Aims The objective of this study was to assess 18F-FDG uptake in incidental and known GIT malignancy. Methods A total of 6500 patients followed-up in a single and tertiary center between January 2010 and September 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Of 2850 patients assessed with 18FDG-PET/CT, known GIT malignancy and 18F-FDG uptake cases during follow-up were included in the study. Results Of 658 patients with 18F-FDG uptake, 150 patients who underwent endoscopy were included in the study. Seventy-seven of these patients had known GIT malignancy and 73 had incidental 18F-FDG uptake. Among these 73 patients; 7 (9.6%) had malignancy, 20 (27,2%) adenoma and 24 (32.9%) inflammation that were confirmed. Endoscopy was normal in 22 (30.2%) patients. One hundred forty-three (95.3%) patients had focal and 7 (4.7%) had diffuse uptake. While no malignancy was detected in patients with diffuse uptake, 58.7% (84/143) of the patients with focal uptake presented malignancy. Mean the standardized uptake value (SUV) max values were found as 15.0 ± 10.6 (range, 3.8-56.5) in malignant disease, 10.2 ± 4.3 (range, 2.4-19.7) in adenoma, 7.3 ± 3.6 (range, 3.6-18.7) in inflammation, and 9.8 ± 4.2 (range, 3.8-19.9) in normal endoscopy groups (p < 0.001, rho = 0.378). Conclusion Although this study demonstrated high probability of malignant disease with increased 18F-FDG uptake in the GIT, it would be a more appropriate approach to confirm all patients with 18F-FDG uptake through endoscopy as SUVmax values vary in a wide range.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) may be linked to the psychological status of cancer patients. Therefore, the authors aimed to better understand the underlying risk factors for CINV using the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. A total of 238 patients were recruited during three cycles of chemotherapy. Patient, disease and treatment characteristics were noted at the onset of chemotherapy. The Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire was administered face-to-face prior to chemotherapy. The relationship between illness perceptions and CINV was analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation. Positive illness perception parameters, including personal and treatment control, were negatively correlated, whereas negative illness perception parameters, including consequences, timeline, identity, concern and emotions, were positively correlated with CINV after adjusting for age, sex and emetogenic potential of chemotherapy (p < 0.001). Illness perception may be an underlying risk factor for CINV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The new second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have superior survival outcome and worse toxicity profile when compared with first-generation TKIs according to the results of clinical trials. However, there are limited studies that investigate the efficacy and safety of the new generation TKIs in real-world patients. Thus, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the afatinib, an irreversible inhibitor of ErbB family receptor, and first-generation TKIs in real-world patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who had EGFR exon 19del mutation and treated with afatinib or first-generation TKIs as upfront treatment between 2016 and 2020. All patient's information was collected retrospectively. The study cohort was divided as afatinib arm and erlotinib/gefitinib arm. RESULTS A total of 283 patients at the 24 oncology centers were included. The 89 and 193 of whom were treated with afatinib and erlotinib/gefitinib, respectively. After 12.9 months (mo) of follow-up, the median PFS was statistically longer in the afatinib arm than erlotinib/gefitinib arm (19.3 mo vs. 11.9 mo, p: 0.046) and the survival advantage was more profound in younger patients (< 65 years). The 24-mo overall survival rate was 76.1% and 49.5% in the afatinib arm and erlotinib/gefitinib arm, respectively. Although all-grade adverse event (AE) rates were similar between the two arms, grade 3-4 AE rates were higher in the afatinib arm (30.7% vs. 15.2%; p: 0.004). DISCUSSION In our real-world study, afatinib has superior survival outcomes despite worse toxicity profile as inconsistent with clinical study results and it is the good upfront treatment option for younger patients and elderly patients who have good performance status.

Abstract
PURPOSE After failure of the first-line sorafenib treatment in advanced or metastatic stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), regorafenib is one of the newly-approved targeted agents. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of regorafenib in patients with advanced HCC treated in the second- or third-line setting. METHODS In this retrospective and multicenter study, advanced HCC patients not eligible for local therapies, who received a second- or third-line regorafenib therapy after progression on the first-line sorafenib or sequential therapy with chemotherapy (CT) followed by sorafenib, were included. RESULTS In the first-line setting, 28 (28.9%) patients received CT and 69 (71.1%) patients received sorafenib. There were 24 (24.7%) patients who were intolerant to sorafenib. Disease control rate (DCR) was 53.6% for all patients treated with regorafenib, 62.3% in patients who received regorafenib in the second-line, and 32.1% for those receiving regorafenib in the third-line (p=0.007). Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 5.6 (range; 4.3-6.9) and 8.8 (range, 6.3-11.3) months for all patients treated with regorafenib vs. 7.1 months and 10.3 months for patients who received regorafenib in the second-line vs. 5.1 and 8.7 months for patients who received regorafenib in the third-line, respectively; however, there was no statistically significant difference (pPFS=0.22 and pOS=0.85). CONCLUSION Although receiving CT as a first-line therapy in advanced HCC patients did not affect the survival rates of subsequent regorafenib therapy, it might diminish the DCR of regorafenib.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether primary tumor localization may be a risk factor for relapse and survival in seminomatous germ cell tumors (GCT) patients. METHODS In our study, 612 seminomatous GCT patients diagnosed in 22 centers between 01.01.1989 and 03.02.2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Patient interview information, patient files and electronic system data were used for the study. RESULTS The primary tumor was localized in the right testis in 305 (49.9%) patients and in 307 (50.1%) in the left testis. Mean age of the patients was 36 years (range 16-85±10.4). The median follow-up period was 47 months (1-298). Recurrence was observed in 78 (12.7%) patients and 29 (4.7%) died during the follow-up period. Four-year overall survival (OS) was 95.4% and 4-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 84.5%. The relationship between localization and relapse was significant in 197 patients with stage 2 and stage 3 (p=0.003). In this patient group, 41 (20.8%) relapses were observed. Thirty (73.2%) of the relapses were in the right testis and 11 (26.8%) in the left testis. Four-year OS was 92.1% in patients with right tumor; and 98.7% in patients with left tumor (p=0.007). When 612 patients were evaluated with a mean follow-up of 4 years, there was a 6.6% survival advantage in patients with left testicular tumor and this difference was significant (p=0.007). CONCLUSION Survival rates of patients with primary right testicular localization were worse compared with left testicular localization, and relapse rates were higher in stage 2 and 3 patients with right testicular localization.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) on antiEGFR and bevacizumab efficacy in metastatic colorectal cancer patients. METHODS All metastatic colorectal cancer patients who had received chemotherapy and biological agents as first-line treatment at Erciyes University Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. NLR and PLR were each divided into two groups, as high and low. The NLR high group was compared with the low group and the PLR high group was compared with the low group in patients in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), separately. Cox regression and the Kaplan Meier method were used. RESULTS One hundred and thirty (58%) of the patients had received bevacizumab and 94 (42%) had received antiEGFR therapy (cetuximab or panitumumab). In the bevacizumab group, PFS was 9 months in the NLR high group and 11 months in the NLR low group (p=0.013). OS was 23 months in the NLR high group and 27 months in the NLR low group (p=0.734). There was no statistically significant OS difference in patients who had received antiEGFR therapy according to NLR. There was no statistically significant PFS difference in patients who received bevacizumab according to PLR. In the antiEGFR group, PFS was 9 months (95% CI, 8.07-13.55) in the PLR high group and 18 months (95% CI, 12.02-18.68) in the PLR low group, with statistically significant difference (p=0.040). There was no statistically significant OS difference in patients who had received antiEGFR therapy according to PLR. CONCLUSIONS NLR and PLR are important inflammatory markers. In patients who had received bevacizumab, PFS was longer in the NLR low group than in the high group. In patients who had received antiEGFR, PFS was longer in the PLR low group than in the high group.

Abstract
e16075 Background: Although the distribution in the world varies widely, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the ninth most common cancer, especially in males. It’s the seventh most common cancer in Turkey. In this study, the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC) who were treated at 13 centers in our country were evaluated and the efficacy of first-line treatment approaches was compared. Methods: Data of mRCC patients admitted to 13 outpatient clinics in Turkey between 2008 and 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, pre-treatment clinical evaluations, information about treatment approaches and survival outcomes of the patients were collected. All medical records were collected by a detailed review of the patients’ charts. The median and percentage values were frequently signified for defining of central trends. Kaplan-Meier method was applied for OS analyzes and log-rank test with Cox-regression models were applied for the evaluation of prognostic factors. Results: Data from files of 262 patients were reviewed. Twelve of these patients were excluded from the study because they could not receive treatment due to comorbidities and other reasons at metastatic stage of the disease. Of the patients, 100 (40%) were female and 150 (60%) were male. Median age was 60 (range 21-83). For the entire group, the median PFS (mPFS) was 27.6 months and the median overall survival (mOS) was 46.1 months. In terms of first-line treatment of metastatic disease, 41.3% of the patients received sunitinib, 48.8% of the patients received pazopanib, 15.8% of the patients received other treatments. PFS of the patients receiving sunitinib, pazopanib and the other treatments were 26.3 months, 34.2 months and 14.2 months, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between PFS of the patients receiving sunitinib and pazopanib (p = 0.05). mOS was 54 months in sunitinib arm, 54.9 months in pazopanib arm and 23.3 months in the other treatment arm. There was no statistically significant difference between two treatment agents in terms of mOS (p = 0.43). Conclusions: Pazopanib was more commonly prescribed in Turkey. There were no statistically significant differences between mPFS and mOS of the patients who received sunitinib and pazopanib for the first-line treatment of mRCC. With increased use of immunotherapeutic agents for the first-line treatment of mRCC in our country, improvement in mOS could be expected.

Abstract
Background: Endocrine treatment and chemotherapy are a treatment options for patients with hormone receptor (HR) positive and HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, response to first-line hormone treatment could not obtained in all patients, and even patients who havea response will eventually relapse. After disease progression, second-line hormonal treatmentoptions are used sequentially. Everolimus with exemestane has demonstrated promising activity in patients with HR-positive HER2-negative endocrine-resistant MBC with respect to the results of the BOLERO-2 study. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this combination in the real-life clinical setting for the unselected population in Turkey. Material and Methods: One hundred and one patients with HR-positive HER-2 negative MBC progressing after prior endocrine treatment who were treated with everolimus with exemestane were retrospectively analyzed. The tolerability and efficacy of this combination were evaluated in the unselected Turkish patients. Results: Among 101 patients, 45% of patients had visceral and %50 patients had only bone metastasis. Everolimus with exemestane treatment was administered as a second-line in 21.3% of patients, third-line in 40.4% and forth-line and later in 38.2%. The objective response rate was 24.7% (CR+PR) and stable disease was obtained in 37.7% of patients. At the median follow-up time of 13.5 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) time and 1-year PFS were 13.8 months and 57.2%, while the median overall survival (OS) interval and 1-year OS were 40 months and 85%. The median treatment duration was 8.3 and 6.5 months for exemestane and everolimus, respectively. The most frequent reason for discontinuation of treatment were disease progression (39%). Moreover, the most common advers events (AE) causing permanent discontinuation were stomatitis (3%) and pneumonitis (3%). A total of 81 % of patients experienced at least one AE of any grade, 25% of patients at least one grade 3 or 4 AE. Due to AEs, everolimus dosage was reduced to 5 mg in 16 (15.8%) of patients. Conclusions: Our findings confirmed that the combination of everolimus with exemestane was the safe and effective treatment options for patients with HR-positive HER-2 negative MBC after second or later lines treatments.

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
PURPOSE Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes 80-85% of all lung cancers. Patients with advanced-stage NSCLC may benefit from chemotherapy. Gemcitabine and cisplatin is a well-established therapy for this malignancy. Recently, biweekly administration is becoming more acceptable, but the most effective and tolerable dose remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the toxicity and efficacy of 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine (GEM 1000) and 1500 mg/m2 gemcitabine (GEM 1500) in combination with 50 mg/m2 cisplatin. METHODS Gemcitabine was administered at a dose of 1000 or 1500 mg/m2 with cisplatin administered at a dose of 50 mg/m2 on day 1. The treatment was repeated every 2 weeks for a total of 4 courses. Response rates, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicities were assessed. RESULTS 114 patients with IIIB and IV stages of NSCLC were included. Seventy two patients (63%) received GEM 1000 and 42 (37%) received GEM 1500. The overall reponse rate (ORR), PFS and OS were 24%, 6 months and 13 months respectively in the GEM 1000 group and 36%, 6 months and 15 months in the GEM 1500 group, respectively. Grade 3-4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were observed in 4% of the GEM 1000 group and 9% of the GEM 1500 group (p=0.41). CONCLUSION Biweekly administration of GEM 1000 and 1500 is a well tolerated regimen. Although the GEM 1000 group showed a lower response rate than the GEM 1500 group, PFS and OS were similar.

Abstract
e15023 Background: Colorectal cancer is the one of the most common malignancy in western countries. In addition to standart treatment antiEGFR and antiVEGF agents have improved PFS and overall survival. Current studies showed that the colorectal cancers have heterogenous characteristics. The Colon is divided into two parts as a right and left colon according to embrological origin. Recent years supposed that right and left located colorectal tumors may not response samely to anti egfr and anti vegfr therapies. We performed a retrospective study in our clinic to answer this questions. Methods: Study Population and data collection: Between January 2005 and December 2016, all metastatic colorectal cancer patients (n = 285) who received anti-EGFR and anti- VEGF agent with chemotherapy on initial treatment at the Erciyes University Medical Oncology Department were retrospectively reviewed. We included patients with diagnosed metastatic colorectal cancer and who received at least 1 dose of antiEGFR-based or antiVEGFR-based triplet bio-chemotherapy as their first-line treatments. Study population was divided into two groups as right and left colon. Results: A total of 251 patients met the inclusion criteria: 55 patients classified as a right colon cancer (RCC) and 196 patients classified as a left colon cancer (LCC) . 16 patients in RCC group received anti-EGFR-based triplet and 39 patients in RCC group received antiVEGF-based triplet; 76 patients in LCC group received anti-EGFR-based triplet and 120 patients in LCC group received antiVEGF-based triplet as first-line bio-chemotherapy. There were no differences between the patients received antiEGFR and antiVEGF therapy in RCC group (PFS,antiEGFR vs anti VEGF, 7 vs 8 months,P = 0.378; OS, 21 vs 19 months, P = 0.876). There were no differences between the patients received antiEGFR and antiVEGF therapy in LCC group (PFS,antiEGFR vs anti VEGF, 10 vs 10 months,P = 0.202; OS, 27 vs 24 months, P = 0.656). Conclusions: Our study shows that there were no significiant difference between the metastatic colorectal cancer patients received antiEGFR and antiVEGF treatment in LCC and RCC.
