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.Item Prognostic Value of the Number of the Metastatic Lymph Nodes in Locally Early-Stage Cervical Cancer: Squamous Cell Carcinoma Versus Non-Squamous Cell Carcinoma(2021) Aslan, Koray; Haberal, Ali; Akilli, Huseyin; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0002-5240-8441; 33772630; AAX-3230-2020Purpose To clarify the prognostic value of the number of metastatic lymph nodes (mLNs) in squamous and non-squamous histologies among women with node-positive cervical cancer. Methods One hundred ninety-one node-positive cervical cancer patients who had undergone radical hysterectomy plus systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy followed by concurrent radiochemotherapy were retrospectively reviewed. The prognostic value of the number of mLNs was investigated in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) v (n = 148) and non-SCC (n = 43) histologies separately with univariate log-rank test and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results In SCC cohort, mLNs > 2 was significantly associated with decreased 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.06; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-4.09; p = 0.03) and overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.35, 95% CI 1.11-4.99; p = 0.02). However mLNs > 2 had no significant impact on 5-year DFS and 5-year OS rates in non-SCC cohort (p = 0.94 and p = 0.94, respectively). We stratified the entire study population as SCC with mLNs <= 2, SCC with mLNs > 2, and non-SCC groups. Thereafter, we compared survival outcomes. The non-SCC group had worse 5-year OS (46.8% vs. 85.3%, respectively; p < 0.001) and 5-year DFS rates (31.6% vs. 82.2%, respectively; p < 0.001) when compared to those of the SCC group with mLNs <= 2. However, the non-SCC group and the SCC group with mLNs > 2 had similar 5-year OS (46.8% vs. 65.5%, respectively; p = 0.16) and 5-year DFS rates (31.6% vs. 57.5%, respectively; p = 0.06). Conclusion Node-positive cervical cancer patients who have non-SCC histology as well as those who have SCC histology with mLNs > 2 seem to have worse survival outcomes when compared to women who have SCC histology with mLNs <= 2.Item Complications of cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy: An evaluation of 100 cases(2021) Akilli, Huseyin; Gunakan, Emre; Haberal, Ali; Altundag, Ozden; Kuscu, Ulku Esra; Taskiran, Cagatay; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0002-5240-8441; 0000-0001-8854-8190; 0000-0003-0197-6622; 34038007; AAX-3230-2020; ABI-1707-2020; W-9219-2019Objective To evaluate the perioperative outcomes and complications of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis who underwent cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Methods This retrospective study included 100 patients operated on between 2016 and 2020. Patients' characteristics, including age, comorbidities, chemotherapy history, treatment failures, cancer type, histology, platinum sensitivity, and perioperative complications, were documented. Perioperative complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Results Median age was 58 years and median follow-up time was 16 months. Eighty-six (86%) patients had ovarian cancer; 11 (11%) experienced grade III-IV complications, and the only relevant factor was the presence of multiple metastasis (P = 0.031). Seven patients (7%) had surgical-site infection; in multivariant analyses, only ostomy formation was found as an independent risk factor for surgical-site infection (odds ratio [OR] 14.01; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.36-143.52; P = 0.024). Fifteen (15%) patients experienced elevated serum creatinine after surgery and the median time to creatinine elevation was 5 days postoperatively (range 3-15 days). In multivariant analyses, only age of of 58 years or more was found as a significant factor for the elevation of serum creatinine (OR 6.96; 95% CI 1.42-32.81; P = 0.014). Conclusion Our results showed that the presence of multiple metastases increased the risk of grade III-IV complications and age of 58 years or more was the leading risk factor for renal complications. However, we could not find a relation between postoperative complications and oncologic outcomes. HIPEC seems to be a safe approach in experienced hands.Item Does Polyp-Originated Growing have Prognostic Significance for Stage 1 Endometrioid-Type Endometrial Cancer?(2020) Kucukyildiz, Irem Alyazici; Gunakan, Emre; Akilli, Huseyin; Haberal, Asuman Nihan; Kuscu, Esra; Haberal, Ali; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0002-5240-8441; 0000-0002-0992-6980; 0000-0001-9852-9911; 0000-0002-1486-7209; AAX-3230-2020; AAI-8792-2021; AAK-4587-2021; AAI-9331-2021Purpose Endometrioid-type endometrial cancer is usually diagnosed in the early stages and has a good prognosis. Patients with stage 1 disease have survival rates over 95%. Tumor factors affect survival in these patients, but polyp-originated growing has not been sufficiently discussed in the literature. This study aimed to determine the effect of polyp-originated growing in stage 1 endometrioid-type endometrial cancer and to provide a review of the literature. Methods This study includes 318 stage 1 endometrioid-type endometrial cancer patients. The patients were divided into two groups based on the tumor origin. Group I included patients with polyp-originated growing tumors, and Group II included patients with endometrial surface-originated growing tumors. Results Groups I and II included 39 and 279 patients, respectively. The general properties of the patients were similar; there were no significant differences. The univariate survival analyses showed that overall survival for Groups I and II was 65.5 and 83.6 months, respectively; this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.002). The multivariate analysis of age, maximum tumor diameter, tumor origin, lymphovascular space involvement, myometrial invasion depth and tumor grade showed that polyp-originated growing was independently and significantly associated with overall survival (HR 4.05; 95% CI 1.2-13.5; p = 0.023). Conclusion Polyp-originated growing may be a prognostic factor for early stage endometrioid-type endometrial cancer. The prognostic effect of polyp-originated growing is not well known, and further investigation is necessary.Item The prognostic value of lymph node ratio in stage IIIC cervical cancer patients triaged to primary treatment by radical hysterectomy with systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy(2020) Aslan, Koray; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Oz, Murat; Tohma, Yusuf Aytac; Haberal, Ali; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0001-9418-4733; 0000-0002-1486-7209; 31788991; AAE-6482-2021; AAI-9331-2021; AAJ-5802-2021Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of lymph node ratio (LNR) in women with 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIIC cervical cancer. Methods: In this retrospective dual-institutional study, a total of 185 node-positive cervical cancer patients who had undergone radical hysterectomy with systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy were included. All of the patients received adjuvant chemoradiation after surgery. LNR was defined as the ratio of positive lymph nodes (LNs) to the total number of LNs removed. The patients were categorized into 2 groups according to LNR; LNR <0.05 and LNR >= 0.05. The prognostic value of LNR was evaluated with univariate log-rank tests and multivariate Cox regression models. Results: A total of 138 patients (74.6%) had stage IIIC1 disease and 47 (25.4%) patients had stage IIIC2 disease. With a median follow-up period of 45.5 months (range 3-135 months), the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 62.5% whereas the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 70.4% for the entire study population. The 5-year DFS rates for LNR <0.05 and LNR >= 0.05 were 78.2%, and 48.4%, respectively (p<0.001). Additionally, the 5-year OS rates for LNR <0.05 and LNR >= 0.05 were 80.6%, and 61.2%, respectively (p=0.007). On multivariate analysis, LNR.0.05 was associated with a worse DFS (hazard ratio [HR]=2.12; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.15-3.90 ; p=0.015) and OS (HR=1.95; 95% CI=1.01-3.77; p=0.046) in women with stage IIIC cervical cancer. Conclusions: LNR >= 0.05 seems to be an independent prognostic factor for decreased DFS and OS in stage IIIC cervical carcinoma.Item Nulliparity and postmenopausal status are independent factors of malignancy potential of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia in polyps(2020) Karakas, Latife Atasoy; Atilgan, Alev Ok; Akilli, Huseyin; Kuscu, Ulku Esra; Haberal, Ali; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0001-8595-8880; 0000-0002-0992-6980; 0000-0001-7369-5470; 0000-0002-1486-7209; 33118172; AAK-3333-2021; AAI-8792-2021; AAI-8793-2021; AAI-9331-2021; AAX-3230-2020; AAJ-5802-2021Objective To estimate the risk of concurrent endometrial cancer in endometrium when endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) is found within an endometrial polyp and to identify the possible predictive factors for concurrent endometrial cancer. Methods Histopathologic data of women who underwent hysteroscopy for resection of endometrial polyps at Ankara Baskent University Hospital, between 2011 and 2019 were screened. Patients whose polypectomy report was EIN in a polyp, and who had a final report of the hysterectomy specimen were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of concurrent cancer in the hysterectomy material: group 1, concurrent cancer present and group 2, concurrent cancer absent. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS. Results A total of 4125 women underwent hysteroscopy for the resection of endometrial polyps. Of those women, 161 (3.9%) were diagnosed as having EIN and 115 met the criteria. The rate of concurrent endometrial cancer was 28.6% (33/115). According to multivariate analysis, nulliparity (odds ratio [OR] 0.38; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-3.67; p = 0.036) and postmenopausal status (OR 0.64; 95% CI 0.42-0.98; p = 0.042) were found to be independent factors significantly associated with concurrent endometrial cancer. Conclusion The incidence of concurrent cancer is higher in postmenopausal or nulliparous women when EIN is detected in a polyp.Item Are There Any Predictors of Endometrial Premalignancy/Malignancy within Endometrial Polyps in Infertile Patients?(2019) Tohma, Yusuf Aytac; Onalan, Gogsen; Esin, Sertac; Sahin, Hanifi; Aysun, Dide; Kuscu, Esra; Haberal, Ali; Zeyneloglu, Hulusi Bulent; 0000-0001-9418-4733; 31311015Background: In the literature, there is no detailed analysis on the prediction factors for premalignancy/malignancy within endometrial polyps (EPs) in infertile patients. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of endometrial premalignancy/malignancy within EPs in infertile patients undergoing office hysteroscopic polypectomy and identify the factors that can potentially predict an endometrial premalignancy/malignancy within EPs. Method: A total of 957 infertile patients undergoing office hysteroscopy were diagnosed with EPs between February 2011 and August 2018. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the pathological examination of EPs as benign (Group 1; n = 939) and premalignant/malignant (Group 2; n = 18). The medical records of all patients included in the study were reviewed retrospectively. Results: In this cohort, prevalence of endometrial premalignancy/malignancy within EPs was 18/957 (1.88%). On univariate analysis, age, polyp size, diabetes, hypertension, and causes of infertility did not differ between the 2 groups. On multivariate analysis, diffuse polypoid appearance of the endometrial cavity on office hysteroscopy (hazard ratio [HR] 4.1; 95% CI 1.576-10.785), duration of infertility, (HR 4; 95% CI 1.279-12.562), and body mass index (HR 7.9; 95% CI 2.591-24.258) were found to be independent predictors of endometrial premalignancy/malignancy within polyps in infertile patients. Conclusion: When diffuse polypoid appearance of the endometrial cavity is detected in an infertile patient during office hysteroscopy, hysteroscopy-guided resection and endometrial curettage should be performed. The pathological specimen should be sent for histopathological evaluation to diagnose possible endometrial premalignancy/malignancy within polyps.Item Is the revised 2018 FIGO staging system for cervical cancer more prognostic than the 2009 FIGO staging system for women previously staged as IB disease?(2019) Ayhan, Ali; Aslan, Koray; Bulut, Ayca Nazli; Akilli, Huseyin; Oz, Murat; Haberal, Ali; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; 0000-0002-7495-5470; 31325847Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the prognostic value of the revised FIGO staging system with that of the 2009 FIGO staging system for women previously staged as IB disease. Methods: Institutional cervical cancer databases of two high-volume gynecologic cancer centers in Ankara, Turkey, were retrospectively analyzed. Only women with 2009 FIGO stage IB1 or 1B2 disease who underwent primary surgery were included. Survival curves were generated using Kaplan-Meier plots, and the log-rank test was used for survival comparisons. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to obtain hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Data from 425 women were analyzed. The 2009 FIGO stage IB2 (n = 131) disease was associated with a nearly three-fold increased risk of mortality when compared to the 2009 FIGO stage IB1 (n = 294) disease (HR: 2.72, 95% CI: 1.69-4.37; p < 0.001). Stage migration was observed in 372 (87.5%) patients, according to the revised FIGO staging system, leading to no significant difference in five-year overall survival rates between stage IB1 (n=53) and IB2 (n=127) disease (95.2% vs. 89.3%, respectively; p = 0.23),or between stage IB2 (n=127) and IB3 (n=95) disease (89.3% vs. 84.2%, respectively; p = 0.12). Similarly, there was no significant difference in five-year overall survival rates between stage IIIC1 (n=114) and IIIC2 (n=36) disease (79.0% vs. 67.2%, respectively; p = 0.34). Conclusion: When compared to the 2009 FIGO staging system, the revised staging system has more substages, which leads to fewer patients in each sub-stage, resulting in diminished statistical power.

Methods: A total of 625 consecutive women who underwent comprehensive surgical staging for endometrioid EC clinically confined to the uterus were divided into low- and high-risk groups according to the GOG-99, the Mayo-modified, and the ESMO-modified criteria. Lymphovascular space invasion is the cornerstone of risk stratification according to the ESMO-modified criteria. These 3 risk stratification models were compared in terms of predicting LN positivity. Results: Systematic LN dissection was achieved in all patients included in the study. LN involvement was detected in 70 (11.2%) patients. LN involvement was correctly estimated in 51 of 70 LN-positive patients according to the GOG-99 criteria (positive likelihood ratio [LR+], 3.3; negative likelihood ratio [LR-], 0.4), 64 of 70 LN-positive patients according to the ESMO-modified criteria (LR+, 2.5; LR-, 0.13) and 69 of the 70 LN-positive patients according to the Mayo-modified criteria (LR+, 2.2; LR-, 0.03). The area under curve of the Mayo-modified, the GOG-99 and the ESMO-modified criteria was 0.763, 0.753, and 0.780, respectively. Conclusion: The ESMO-modified classification seems to be the risk-stratification model that most accurately predicts LN involvement in endometrioid EC clinically confined to the uterus. However, the Mayo-modified classification may be an alternative model to achieve a precise balance between the desire to prevent over-treatment and the ability to diagnose LN involvement.Item Factors associated with survival after relapse in patients with low-risk endometrial cancer treated with surgery alone(2017) Haberal, Ali; Celik, Husnu; Coban, Gonca; Ozkan, Nazli Topfedaisi; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Sari, Mustafa Erkan; Demirkiran, Fuat; Kahramanoglu, Ilker; Bese, Tugan; Arvas, Macit; Sahim, Hanifi; Ozge, Tufan; Yalcin, Omer Tarik; Akbayir, Ozgur; Erdem, Baki; Numanoglu, Ceyhun; Ozgul, Nejat; Boyraz, Gokhan; Salman, Mehmet Coskun; Yuce, Kunter; Dede, Murat; Yenen, Mufit Cemal; Taskin, Salih; Altin, Duygu; Ortac, Ugur Firat; Ayik, Hulya Aydin; Simsek, Tayup; Gungor, Tayfun; Gungorduk, Kemal; Sanci, Muzaffer; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0002-1486-7209; 0000-0002-3285-5519; 0000-0003-1185-9227; 28657226; AAI-9331-2021; AAJ-5802-2021; AAL-1923-2021; AAI-9974-2021Objective: To determine factors influencing overall survival following recurrence (OSFR) in women with low-risk endometrial cancer (EC) treated with surgery alone. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective department database review was performed to identify patients with recurrent "low-risk EC" (patients having less than 50% myometrial invasion [MMI] with grade 1 or 2 endometrioid EC) at 10 gynecologic oncology centers in Turkey. Demographic, clinicopathological, and survival data were collected. Results: We identified 67 patients who developed recurrence of their EC after initially being diagnosed and treated for low-risk EC. For the entire study cohort, the median time to recurrence (TTR) was 23 months (95% confidence interval [CI]=11.5-34.5; standard error [SE]=5.8) and the median OSFR was 59 months (95% CI=12.7-105.2; SE=23.5). We observed 32 (47.8%) isolated vaginal recurrences, 6 (9%) nodal failures, 19 (28.4%) peritoneal failures, and 10 (14.9%) hematogenous disseminations. Overall, 45 relapses (67.2%) were loco-regional whereas 22 (32.8%) were extrapelvic. According to the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) Trial-99, 7 (10.4%) out of 67 women with recurrent low-risk EC were qualified as high-intermediate risk (HIR). The 5-year OSFR rate was significantly higher for patients with TTR >= 36 months compared to those with TTR <36 months (74.3% compared to 33%, p=0.001). On multivariate analysis for OSFR, TTR <36 months (hazard ratio [HR]=8.46; 95% CI=1.65-43.36; p=0.010) and presence of HIR criteria (HR=4.62; 95% CI=1.69-12.58; p=0.003) were significant predictors. Conclusion: Low-risk EC patients recurring earlier than 36 months and those carrying HIR criteria seem more likely to succumb to their tumors after recurrence.
