Item Medulloblastoma: Clinicopathological Correlates of SHH, WNT, and Non-WNT/SHH Molecular Subgroups Analysis and Prognostic Significance: Mono-Institutional Series(2022) Hasbay, Bermal; Kayaselcuk, Fazilet; Suner, Halil Ibrahim; Sarialioglu, Faik; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5957-8611; 000832603900001; AAJ-5381-2021AIM: To reevaluate the medulloblastoma cases according to histomorphological and molecular features, and to investigate the relationship between the prognostic factors of the new WHO classification by applying Beta-catenin, YAP1, GAP1, p53, and INI1 antibodies immunohistochemically. MATERIAL and METHODS: This study includes 41 patients who have been diagnosed with medulloblastoma between 2007-2019 in pathology department. Immunohistochemically, p53, beta-catenin, YAP1, GAP1, and INI1 immune markers were applied, and the relationship between the results and the prognostic parameters was evaluated statistically. RESULTS: When 41 patients were classified into WHO medulloblastoma histological subtype groups according to histomorphological features, 22 (53.7%) patients were classified as classical type, 11 (26.8%) patients as desmoplastic nodular type, and 8 (19.5%) patients as large cell/anaplastic type medulloblastoma. According to their molecular characteristics, 14 (34.1%) patients were in the Non-WNT/SHH group, 5 (12.2%) patients were SHH mutant, 17 (41.5%) patients were SHH wild, and 5 (12.2%) patients were in the WNT active group. There was no statistically significant correlation between age, gender, tumor size, recurrence, Ki67 proliferation index with molecular types and histopathological types. CONCLUSION: In our study, metastasis at the time of diagnosis, histological large cell anaplastic type, immunohistochemical p53 positivity, molecular SHH mutant type were the statistically significant indicators of worse prognosis and shorter survival time.Item Metaplastic Carcinoma of the Breast: Analysis of 38 Cases from a Single Institute(2020) Hasbay, Bermal; Aka Bolat, Filiz; Aytac, Huseyin Ozgur; Aslan, Hulya; Purbager, Aysin; 0000-0002-7138-246X; 0000-0002-3583-9282; 31769499; AAK-9104-2021; AAJ-7913-2021Objective: To evaluate the pathological and radiological features, hormone profiles, surgery and treatment methods of metaplastic breast carcinoma cases diagnosed at our center in the light of current literature. Material and Method: A total of 38 metaplastic breast cancer cases diagnosed between 2006-2018 at our center were included in the study. The patients were evaluated in terms of age, tumor size, localization, histological grade, hormone profiles (ER, PR, Her2-neu), American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Tumor, Lymph node status, Metastases (TNM) stage, progression, survival, radiological features, types of surgery and therapy modalities (chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy). Results: The age of the patients ranged between 32 and 95 years. Pathological evaluation of cases showed that 14 were pure epithelial (IC-NST + squamous cell carcinoma) and 24 were metaplastic carcinomas with mesenchymal differentiation. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) was accompanying an invasive component in twenty cases. Seventeen patients had lymph node metastasis. Twelve patients developed distant metastasis. Thirty patients were triple negative for hormone receptors. The mean follow-up period of the patients was 34 months. The estimated life expectancy was 116 months. All of the patients received chemotherapy and 28 patients received adjuvant radiotherapy. There was no correlation between tumor size and lymph node or distant metastasis in our series. Our findings are consistent with the literature. Conclusion: Metaplastic breast carcinoma is a rare entity among breast carcinomas. Metaplastic carcinomas of the breast draw attention with the differences in their clinical course and the radiological and pathological heterogeneity.
