    Predictive Potential Of Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value / Hemoglobin Index As Biomarker For Osteoradionecrosis Risk In Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinomas
    (JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY, 2024-03-27) Yilmaz, Busra; Somay, Efsun; Topkan, Erkan; Pehlivan, Berrin; Besen, Ali Ayberk; Mertsoylu, Huseyin; Selek, Ugur
    Objective: We aimed to investigate whether the Pan-Immune-Inflammation-Value/Hemoglobin (PIV/Hb) index could predict the risk of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (LA-NPC). Materials and methods: This retrospective analysis included LA-NPC patients who underwent CCRT and preCCRT oral exams at our institution's Departments of Radiation Oncology and Dentistry between January 2010 and December 2022. The relationship between ORN rates and PIV-Hb levels was explored using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The primary objective was to establish a correlation between pre-CCRT PIV-Hb levels and ORN rates, while the secondary objective was to identify other risk factors for ORN. Results: Of 249 eligible patients, 21 (8.4 %) were diagnosed with ORN. The optimal pre-CCRT PIV/Hb cutoff was 73.8, which divided patients into two subgroups with distinctive ORN risk estimates: Group 1: PIV/ Hb < 73.8 (N = 206), and Group 2: PIV/Hb >= 73.8 (N = 43). The results of the comparative analysis indicated that the cohort with PIV/Hb >= 73.8 exhibited substantially higher rates of ORN than the PIV/Hb < 73.8 cohort (44.2 % vs. 1.0 %; P < 0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the pretreatment PIV/ Hb >= 73.8 was independently associated with higher ORN rates (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The results of our current investigation indicate that higher levels of pretreatment PIV/Hb were associated with a significant independent increase in ORN rates in LA-NPC patients who received CCRT.

    Systemic Inflammation Score for Predicting Radiation-Induced Trismus and Osteoradionecrosis of the Jaw Rates in Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients
    (2023) Somay, Efsun; Sezen, Duygu; Selek, Ugur; Besen, Ali Ayberk; Mertsoylu, Huseyin; Topkan, Erkan; 0000-0001-8120-7123; AAG-2213-2021
    We sought to determine the predictive value of the systemic inflammation score (SIS) for radiation-induced trismus (RIT) and osteora-dionecrosis of the jaw (ORNJ) in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) patients treated with concurrent chemoradio-therapy (C-CRT). LA-NPC patients (n= 188) who underwent C-CRT and pre-and post-C-CRT oral examinations from August 2010 to January 2022 were included. The three-tiered SIS groups were created using the serum albumin and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) measures obtained on the first day of C-CRT: SIS-0: Albumin >= 40 g/dL and LMR >= 4.44); SIS-1: Albumin < 40 g/dL and LMR < 4.44 or albumin >= 0 g/dL and LMR >= 4.44; and SIS-2: Albumin < 40 g/dL and LMR <4.44. The primary objective was to ascertain whether there were irrefutable associations between pretreatment SIS groups and the respective post-C-CRT RIT and ORNJ rates. RIT and ORNJ were diagnosed in 33 (17.6%) and 21 (11.1%) patients, respectively. There were 12 (32.4%), 13 (12.7%), and 18 (45.0%) cases diagnosed with RIT in the respective SIS-0, SIS-1, and SIS-2 groups (p< 0.001). Similarly, there were 1 (2.7%), 11 (9.9%), and 9 (22.5%) cases with ORNJ diagnoses in the corresponding SIS groups (p< 0.001). The multivariate analysis's findings revealed that the SIS grouping was an independent predictor of RIT (p< 0.001) and ORNJ incidence rates (p< 0.001). Our study's findings indicate that the novel pretreatment SIS grouping is a dependable biomarker-based system, which can accurately predict the rates of RIT and ORNJ in LA-NPC patients who receive definitive C-CRT.
