    Carcinosarcoma of The Ovary Compared to Ovarian High-Grade Serous Carcinoma: Impact of Optimal Cytoreduction and Standard Adjuvant Treatment
    (2018) Yalcin, Ibrahim; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Turan, Ahmet Taner; Taskin, Salih; Sari, Mustafa Erkan; Gungor, Tayfun; Akbayir, Ozgur; Ayhan, Ali; 29143144; AAJ-5802-2021
    The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the prognoses of women with ovarian carcinosarcoma (OCS) who had optimal cytoreductive surgery followed by platinum plus taxane combination chemotherapy to those of women with ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) treated in the same manner. A multicenter, retrospective department database review was performed to identify patients with OCS at eight gynecologic oncology centers in Turkey. A total of 54 women with OCS who had undergone optimal cytoreductive surgery followed by platinum plus taxane combination chemotherapy between 1999 and 2017 were included in this case-control study. Each case was matched to two women with ovarian HGSC who had undergone optimal cytoreductive surgery followed by platinum plus taxane combination chemotherapy. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to generate survival data. Factors predictive of outcome were analysed using Cox proportional hazards models. Median disease-free survival (DFS) was 29 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 0-59, standard error (SE) 15.35] versus 27 months (95% CI 22.6-31.3, SE 2.22; p = 0.765) and median overall survival (OS) was 62 versus 82 months (p = 0.53) for cases and controls, respectively. For the entire cohort, the presence of ascites [hazard ratio (HR) 2.32; 95% CI 1.02-5.25, p = 0.04] and platinum resistance [HR 5.05; 95% CI 2.32-11, p < 0.001] were found to be independent risk factors for decreased OS. DFS and OS rates of patients with OCS and HGSC seem to be similar whenever optimal cytoreduction is achieved and followed by platinum plus taxane combination chemotherapy.

    Prognostic Factors and Patterns of Recurrence in Lymphovascular Space Invasion Positive Women With Stage IIIC Endometriod Endometrial Cancer
    (2018) Cuylan, Zeliha F.; Oz, Murat; Ozkan, Nazli T.; Comert, Gunsu K.; Sahin, Hanifi; Turan, Taner; Akbayir, Ozgur; Kuscu, Esra; Celik, Husnu; Dede, Murat; Gungor, Tayfun; Meydanli, Mehmet M.; Ayhan, Ali; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0992-6980; 29516573; AAI-8792-2021; AAL-1923-2021; AAJ-5802-2021
    AimThe purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic factors and patterns of failure in lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI)-positive women with stage IIIC endometrioid endometrial cancer (EC). MethodsA multicenter, retrospective, department database review was performed to identify LVSI-positive patients with stage IIIC endometrioid EC at five gynecological oncology centers in Turkey. Demographic, clinicopathological and survival data were collected. ResultsWe identified 172 LVSI-positive women with stage IIIC endometrioid EC during the study period; 75 (43.6%) were classified as Stage IIIC1 and 97 (56.4%) as Stage IIIC2. The median age at diagnosis was 59 years, and the median duration of follow up was 34.5 months. The total number of recurrences was 46 (26.7%). We observed 14 (8.1%) locoregional recurrences, 12 (7.0%) retroperitoneal failures and 20 (11.6%) distant relapses. For the entire study cohort, 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 67.4%, while the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 75.1%. Grade 3 histology (hazard ratio [HR] 2.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.34-5.12; P = 0.005), cervical stromal invasion (HR 2.33, 95% CI 1.09-4.99; P = 0.028) and myometrial invasion (MMI) 50% (HR 4.0, 95% CI 1.16-13.69; P = 0.028) were found to be independent prognostic factors for decreased OS. ConclusionUterine factors such as grade 3 disease, cervical stromal invasion and deep MMI seem to be independently associated with decreased OS in LVSI-positive women with stage IIIC endometrioid EC. The high distant recurrence rate in this subgroup of patients warrants further studies in order to identify the most effective treatment strategy for those patients.

    (2018) Gungorduk, Kemal; Cuylan, Zeliha Firat; Kahramanoglu, Ilker; Oge, Tufan; Akbayir, Ozgur; Dede, Murat; Taskin, Salih; Ozgul, Nejat; Simsek, Tayup; Turan, Hasan; Gulseren, Varol; Ozdemir, Aykut; Meydanli, Mehmet M.; Ayhan, Ali; 30056447; AAJ-5802-2021
    Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for recurrence in patients with low-risk endometrial cancer (EC). Patients and Methods: This retrospective study was performed using 10 gynecological oncology department databases. Patients who met the following criteria were included in the study: (a) endometrioid- type histology, (b) histological grade 1 or 2, (c) no or <50% myometrial invasion, (d) no intraoperative evidence of extrauterine spread, and (e) the patient underwent at least a pelvic lymphadenectomy. Recurrence was detected in 56 patients who were histologically diagnosed with low-risk EC, and these patients made up the case group. A total of 224 patients with low-risk EC without recurrence were selected (control group) using a dependent random sampling method. The case and control groups were match-paired in terms of grade, stage, and operative technique. Results: Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) (odds ratio (OR) 5.8, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.0-16.9; p = 0.001) and primary tumor diameter (PTD) >= 20 mm (OR 6.6, 95% CI 2.7-15.8; p < 0.001) were found to be independent risk factors for recurrence in women with low-risk EC. Conclusion: The presence of LVSI and PTD >= 20 mm seem to be significant risk factors for recurrence in women with low-risk EC. (C) 2018 S. Karger GmbH, Freiburg

    (2022) Akgor, Utku; Ayhan, Ali; Shushkevich, Alexander; Ozdal, Bulent; Angelou, Kyveli; Akbayir, Ozgur; Kaidarova, Dilyara; Ulrikh, Elena; Stepanyan, Artem; Ortac, Firat; Aliyev, Shamistan; Ozgul, Nejat; Taranenka, Siarhei; Haberal, Ali; Salman, Coskun; Seyhan, Alper; Selcuk, Ilker; Haidopoulos, Dimitrios; Akilli, Huseyin; Bolatbekova, Raikhan; Alaverdyan, Areg; Taskin, Salih; Murshudova, Sabina; Batur, Meltem; Berlev, Igor; Gultekin, Murat; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5240-8441; 35323994; AAX-3230-2020
    Objective To evaluate the feasibility and oncological safety of ovarian preservation in early stage endometrial adenocarcinoma (EC) patients aged 40 and below. Methods A total of 11 institutions from eight countries participated in the study. 169 of 5898 patients aged <= 40 years were eligible for the study. Patients with EC treated between March 2007 and January 2019 were retrospectively assessed. Results The median duration of follow-up after EC diagnosis was 59 months (4-187). Among 169 participants, ovarian preservation surgery (OPS) was performed in 54 (31.9%), and BSO was performed in 115 (68.1%) patients. Although patients younger than 30 years of age were more likely to have OPS than patients aged 30 to 40 years (20.4% vs. 9.6%, P = 0.021), there was no significant difference by the mean age. There were no other relevant baseline differences between OPS and BSO groups. The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed no difference in either the overall survival (P = 0.955) or recurrence-free survival (P = 0.068) among patients who underwent OPS, and BSO. Conclusion OPS appears to be safe without having any adverse impact on survival in women aged <= 40 years with FIGO Stage I EC.

    Impact of cytoreductive surgery on survival of patients with low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma: A multicentric study of Turkish Society of Gynecologic Oncology (TRSGO-OvCa-001)
    (2021) Vatansever, Dogan; Taskiran, Cagatay; Mutlu Meydanli, Mehmet; Gungorduk, Kemal; Akbayir, Ozgur; Yalcin, Ibrahim; Demirkiran, Fuat; Sozen, Hamdullah; Ozgul, Nejat; Celik, Husnu; Onan, Mehmet Anil; Taskin, Salih; Oge, Tufan; Simsek, Tayyup; Abboud, Sara; Yuksel, Ilkbal Temel; Ayhan, Ali; 33657253; AAL-1923-2021; AAJ-5802-2021
    Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the factors affecting recurrence-free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates of women diagnosed with low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC). Methods Databases from 13 participating centers in Turkey were searched retrospectively for women who had been treated for stage I-IV LGSOC between 1997 and 2018. Results Overall 191 eligible women were included. The median age at diagnosis was 49 years (range, 21-84 years). One hundred seventy-five (92%) patients underwent primary cytoreductive surgery. Complete and optimal cytoreduction was achieved in 148 (77.5%) and 33 (17.3%) patients, respectively. The median follow-up period was 44 months (range, 2-208 months). Multivariate analysis showed the presence of endometriosis (p = .012), lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) (p = .022), any residual disease (p = .023), and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage II-IV disease (p = .045) were negatively correlated with RFS while the only presence of residual disease (p = .002) and FIGO stage II-IV disease (p = .003) significantly decreased OS. Conclusions The maximal surgical effort is warranted for complete cytoreduction as achieving no residual disease is the single most important variable affecting the survival of patients with LGSOC. The prognostic role of LVSI and endometriosis should be evaluated by further studies as both of these parameters significantly affected RFS.

    Prognostic factors for maximally or optimally cytoreduced stage III nonserous epithelial ovarian carcinoma treated with carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy
    (2018) Ayhan, Ali; Cuylan, Zeliha Fırat; Meydanli, Mehmet M.; Sari, Mustafa E.; Akbayir, Ozgur; Celik, Husnu; Dede, Murat; Sahin, Hanifi; Gungorduk, Kemal; Kuscu, Esra; Ozgul, Nejat; Gungor, Tayfun; 29727055
    ObjectiveTo identify factors predictive of poor prognosis in women with stage III nonserous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who had undergone maximal or optimal primary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) followed by six cycles of intravenous carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy. MethodsA multicenter, retrospective department database review was performed to identify patients with stage III nonserous EOC who had undergone maximal or optimal primary CRS followed by six cycles of carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy at seven gynecological oncology centers in Turkey. Demographic, clinicopathological and survival data were collected. ResultsA total of 218 women met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 64 (29.4%) patients had endometrioid, 61 (28%) had mucinous, 54 (24.8%) had clear-cell and 39 (17.9%) had mixed epithelial tumors. Fifty-five (25.2%) patients underwent maximal CRS, whereas 163 (74.8%) had optimal debulking. With a median follow-up of 31.5 months, the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 34.8% and 44.2%, respectively. Bilaterality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.44, 95% CI 1.01-2.056; P = 0.04), age (HR 2.25, 95% CI 1.176-4.323; P = 0.014) and maximal cytoreduction (HR 0.34, 95% CI 0.202-0.58; P < 0.001) were found to be independent prognostic factors for PFS. However, age (HR 2.6, 95% CI 1.215-5.591; P = 0.014) and maximal cytoreduction (HR 0.31, 95% CI 0.166-0.615; P < 0.001) were defined as independent prognostic factors for OS. ConclusionThe extent of CRS seems to be the only modifiable prognostic factor associated with stage III nonserous EOC. Complete cytoreduction to no gross residual disease should be the main goal of management in these women.
