Item Is the extent of lymphadenectomy a prognostic factor in International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage II endometrioid endometrial cancer?(2021) Cuylan, Zeliha Firat; Akilli, Huseyin; Gungorduk, Kemal; Demirkiran, Fuat; Oz, Murat; Salman, Mehmet Coskun; Sozen, Hamdullah; Celik, Husnu; Gokcu, Mehmet; Bese, Tugan; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Ozgul, Nejat; Topuz, Samet; Kuscu, Esra; Kuru, Oguzhan; Gokmen, Sibel; Gultekin, Murat; Ayhan, Ali; 33426779Aim This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of adequate lymph node dissection (LND) (>= 10 pelvic lymph nodes (LNs) and >= 5 paraaortic LNs removed) in patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage II endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC). Methods A multicenter department database review was performed to identify patients who had been operated and diagnosed with stage II EEC at seven centers in Turkey retrospectively. Demographic, clinicopathological, and survival data were collected and analyzed. Results We identified 284 women with stage II EEC. There were 170 (59.9%) patients in the adequate lymph node dissection (LND) group and 114 (40.1%) in the inadequate LND group. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of the inadequate LND group was significantly lower than that of the adequate LND group (84.1% vs. 89.1%, respectively; p = 0.028). In multivariate analysis, presence of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.39, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.23-4.63; p = 0.009), age >= 60 (HR: 3.30, 95% CI: 1.65-6.57; p = 0.001], and absence of adjuvant therapy (HR: 2.74, 95% CI: 1.40-5.35; p = 0.003) remained as independent risk factors for decreased 5-year disease-free survival (DFS). Inadequate LND (HR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.18-4.63; p < 0.001), age >= 60 (HR: 2.67, 95% CI: 1.25-5.72; p = 0.011), and absence of adjuvant therapy (HR: 4.95, 95% CI: 2.28-10.73; p < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors for decreased 5-year OS in multivariate analysis. Conclusion Adequate LND and adjuvant therapy were significant for the improvement of outcomes in FIGO stage II EEC patients. Furthermore, LVSI was associated with worse 5-year DFS rate in stage II EEC.Item Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma: A Turkish uterine sarcoma group study analyzing prognostic factors and disease outcomes(2021) Ayhan, Ali; Toptas, Tayfun; Oz, Murat; Vardar, Mehmet Ali; Kayikcioglu, Fulya; Ozgul, Nejat; Gokcu, Mehmet; Simsek, Tayup; Tunc, Mehmet; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; 0000-0002-8646-0619; 33375988; AAA-6962-2022Objective. To investigate factors associated with refractory disease, recurrence, or death as well as disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in low-grade endometrial sarcoma (LGESS). Methods. A multi-institutional, retrospective study was conducted in a total of 124 patients, who received a curative-intent surgery. The exclusion criteria were as follows: i) history of any other invasive disease; ii) neoadjuvant therapy; iii) fertility sparing surgery; iv) a different diagnosis after review of the slides. Results. All patients underwent hysterectomy, 96% had bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and 65% had lymphadenectomy. Twelve (14.8%) of 81 patients undergoing lymphadenectomy had lymph node (LN) metastasis. Of those, 8 (9.8%) had pelvic LN metastasis whereas 4 (5.6% ) had isolated paraaortic LN metastasis. Six of 8 (75%) patients with positive pelvic LNs had concurrent paraaortic LN metastasis. Among 124 patients, 3 patients (2.4%) had refractory disease following primary therapy. During a median follow-up of 45.5 months, 27 (22.3%) of 121 patients who achieved complete remission after primary therapy developed recurrence, and 10 patients (8.1%) died of disease. The 3-year DFS and OS were 76.9% and 93.8%, respectively. Stage was the sole independent prognostic factor in the whole cohort. When analyzing factors within subgroups of stage I and stage >= II, there was no significant prognostic factor for stage I; however, lymphadenectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy were significantly associated with disease outcomes for stage >= II. While lymphadenectomy was related with improved DFS, chemotherapy was associated with poor DFS and OS. Conclusion. The risk of LN metastasis at pelvic as well as paraaortic lymphatic basins is not negligible to omit lymphadenectomy in stage >= II LGESS. Moreover, lymphadenectomy provides significant DFS advantage in patients with extrauterine disease. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc.

Methods Institutional cervical cancer databases of two high-volume gynecologic cancer centers in Ankara, Turkey were retrospectively analyzed. Women with 2009 FIGO stage IB1-IIA2 cervical cancer that had undergone radical hysterectomy with pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy between January 2006 and December 2018 were included in the study. Patient data were analyzed with respect to para-aortic LN involvement and all potential clinicopathological risk factors for para-aortic LN metastasis were investigated. Results A total of 522 women met the inclusion criteria. Pelvic LN metastasis was detected in 190 patients (36.4%), para-aortic LN metastasis in 48 patients (9.2%), isolated para-aortic LN metastasis in 4 (0.8%), and both pelvic and para-aortic LN metastasis in 44 (8.4%) women, respectively. The independent risk factors identified for para-aortic LN involvement included parametrial invasion (odds ratio [OR]: 3.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.65-7.72; p = 0.001), metastasized pelvic LN size > 1 cm (OR: 4.51, 95% CI: 1.75-11.64; p = 0.002), multiple pelvic LN metastases (OR: 3.83, 95% CI: 1.46-10.01; p = 0.006), and common iliac LN metastasis (OR: 2.97, 95% CI: 1.01-8.68; p = 0.04). A total of 196 (37.5%) patients exhibited at least one risk factor for para-aortic nodal disease. Conclusion Parametrial invasion, metastasized pelvic LN size > 1 cm, multiple pelvic LN metastases, and common iliac LN metastasis seem to be independent predictors of para-aortic LN involvement.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.
