C. W.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5240-8441; 34955236; AAX-3230-2020Background. Up to 26% of patients with early-stage cervical cancer experience relapse after primary surgery. However, little is known about which factors influence prognosis following disease recurrence. Therefore, our aims were to determine post-recurrence disease-specific survival (PR-DSS) and to identify respective prognostic factors for PR-DSS. Methods. Data from 528 patients with early-stage cervical cancer who relapsed after primary surgery performed between 2007 and 2016 were obtained from the SCANN study (Surveillance in Cervical CANcer). Factors related to the primary disease and recurrence were combined in a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model to predict PR-DSS. Results. The 5-year PR-DSS was 39.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 22.7%-44.5%), median disease-free interval between primary surgery and recurrence (DFI1) was 1.5 years, and median survival after recurrence was 2.5 years. Six significant variables were identified in the multivariable analysis and were used to construct the prognostic model. Two were related to primary treatment (largest tumour size and lymphovascular space invasion) and four to recurrence (DFI1, age at recurrence, presence of symptoms, and recurrence type). The C-statistic after 10-fold cross-validation of prognostic model reached 0.701 (95% CI 0.675-0.727). Three risk-groups with significantly differing prognoses were identified, with 5-year PR-DSS rates of 81.8%, 44.6%, and 12.7%. Conclusions. We developed the robust model of PR-DSS to stratify patients with relapsed cervical cancer according to risk profiles using six routinely recorded prognostic markers. The model can be utilised in clinical practice to aid decision-making on the strategy of recurrence management, and to better inform the patients.Item OPEC Study: An International Multicenter Study Of Ovarian Preservation In Endometrial Cancers(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-3230-2020Objective 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.Item Survival In Recurrent Ovarian Cancer Patients Before And After The Bevacizumab Era: An Observational Single-Centre Study(2022) Akilli, Huseyin; Rahatli, Samed; Aliyeva, Khayala; Altundag, Ozden; Kuscu, Ulku Esra; Ayhan, Ali; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5240-8441; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0197-6622; 35260031; AAX-3230-2020; W-9219-2019A retrospective observational study was carried out in Baskent University School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey. Recurrent ovarian cancer patients treated between 2007 and 2017 were divided into two groups according to their bevacizumab status. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and safety. Three hundred and ninety-six patients enrolled in this study, 200 (50.5%) received bevacizumab while 196 (49.5%) patients never received bevacizumab. The median follow-up time was 48.2 and 47.6 months, respectively. The 5-year OS was 61% and 46%, respectively (p=.007). In multivariate analysis, only platinum-sensitivity (HR: 3.75, 95% CI: 3.0-5.32; p<.001) was identified as independent prognostic factors. In subgroup analyses according to platinum status, bevacizumab did not affect the 5 year OS in platinum sensitive patients (64% versus 68% p=.28) but increased survival in platinum resistant patients (36% versus 44%, p=.00). The rate of grade III-IV haematologic toxicities was 13.7% in the bevacizumab group and 11% in the other group (p=.6).Impact Statement What is already known on this subject? Bevacizumab increases the progression-free survival in platinum-sensitive and resistant recurrent ovarian cancer patients without changing overall survival. What do the results of this study add? Bevacizumab did not affect OS in platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer patients however improved OS in platinum resistant patients with mild toxicity. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? This study emphasised the crucial role of bevacizumab in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer patients.Item Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer: When, and for whom?(2023) Ayhan, Ali; Akilli, Huseyin; Abasiyanik, Mehmet Ali; Taskiran, Cagatay; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5741-8489; 36264620Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) patients treated with cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Materials and Methods ROC patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery plus HIPEC between 2015 and 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. Patients' demographic information and clinicopathological characteristics including cancer type, histology, platinum status, presence of ascites, type of surgery, complications, chemotherapy history, and disease progression were documented. PFS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results A total of 104 patients with ROC were included. The median age was 57 years and the median follow-up time was 15 months (range: 5-69 months). In Cox regression multivariate analyses, platinum resistance (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.32, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.91-5.76, p = 0.00), more than one relapse prior HIPEC (HR: 2.81, 95% CI: 1.65-4.87, p = 0.024), and presence of ascites (HR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.08-3.26, p = 0.00) were found to be negative prognostic factors for PFS. In subgroup analyses of patients with the first recurrence, the median PFS was 21 months for platinum-sensitive patients and 6 months for platinum-resistant patients (p = 0.032). Conclusion HIPEC at the time of first platinum-sensitive relapse may lead to favorable PFS in the treatment ROC. However, HIPEC as salvage treatment even with R0 cytoreductive surgery does not seem effective.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 Perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection among women undergoing major gynecologic cancer surgery in the COVID-19 era: A nationwide, cohort study from Turkey(2021) Ayhan, Ali; Oz, Murat; Ozkan, Nazli Topfedaisi; Aslan, Koray; Altintas, Mufide Iclal; Akilli, Huseyin; Demirtas, Erdal; Celik, Osman; Ulgu, Mustafa Mahir; Birinci, Suayip; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; 0000-0002-5240-8441; 33223221; AAJ-5802-2021; AAX-3230-2020Objective. The objective of this study was to determine the rate of perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection among gynecologic cancer patients undergoing major surgery. Methods. The database of the Turkish Ministry of Health was searched in order to identify all consecutive gynecologic cancer patients undergoing major surgery between March 11, 2020 and April 30, 2020 for this retrospective, nationwide, cohort study. The inclusion criteria were strictly founded on a final histopathological diagnosis of a malignant gynecologic tumor. COVID-19 cases were diagnosed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction testing for SARS-CoV-2. The rate of perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection and the 30-day mortality rate of COVID-19 patients were investigated. Results. During the study period, 688 women with gynecologic cancer undergoing major surgery were identified nationwide. The median age of the patients was 59 years. Most of the surgeries were open (634/688, 92.2%). There were 410 (59.6%) women with endometrial cancer, 195 (28.3%) with ovarian cancer, 66 (9.6%) with cervical cancer, 14 (2.0%) with vulvar cancer and 3 (0.4%) with uterine sarcoma. The rate of SARS-CoV-2 infections confirmed within 7 days before or 30 days after surgery was 46/688 (6.7%). All but one woman was diagnosed postoperatively (45/46, 97.8%). The rates of intensive care unit admission and invasive mechanical ventilation were 4/46 (8.7%) and 2/46 (4.3%), respectively. The 30-day mortality rate was 0%. Conclusion. In the COVID-19 era, gynecologic cancer surgery may be performed with an acceptable rate of perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection if the staff and the patients strictly adhere to the established infection control measures.

Material and Methods: Cervical cancer patients operated in the gynecologic oncology division between 2007 and 2013 were retrospectively evaluated. One-hundred and sixty-eight patients with tumor size <= 4 cm were identified. Of these, 159 (86.8%) underwent radical hysterectomy plus pelvic-para- aortic lymphadenectomy and nine (13.2%) underwent fertility-sparing surgery [radical trachelectomy (n= 7); large conization (n=2)]. Factors affecting parametrial invasion, including lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), deep stromal invasion (DSI), lymph node metastases, and tumor size, were evaluated. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 23.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: Median age was 49.5 years and median tumor size was 2.5 cm ( 0.45-4 cm). In both univariate and multivariate analyses, the risk of parametrial involvement was increased with LVSI with a hazard ratio (HR) of 3.45 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1-10.8] and DSI with a HR of 4.1 (95% CI: 1.18-14.8), while tumor size of <= 2 cm was only significant in univariate analyses. Furthermore, 26 early-stage patients were identified with low-risk factors and they had no parametrial involvement, lymph node metastases, recurrence, or death from disease over 77 months. Conclusion: Parametrial involvement in low-risk cervical cancer is very rare and less radical procedures may be safe in these patients.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 Feasibility of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) in Ovarian Cancer During COVID-19 Pandemic(2021) Ayhan, Ali; Yilmaz Baran, Safak; Vatansever, Dogan; Dogan Durdag, Gulsen; Celik, Husnu; Taskiran, Cagatay; Akilli, Huseyin; 0000-0001-5874-7324; 0000-0002-5240-8441; 33858953; AAX-3230-2020Objective This study aims to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions on patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for ovarian cancer. Methods We retrospectively evaluated ovarian cancer patients who underwent HIPEC following complete cytoreductive surgery performed during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in three different centers specializing in gynecological oncology. All patients who underwent cytoreduction plus HIPEC for a primary, interval, and recurrent surgery were evaluated. Primary outcomes was postoperative 30-day morbidity and mortality. The secondary outcome was infection of patient and/or related staff with COVID-19 during the perioperative or early postoperative period. Results We performed a total of 35 HIPEC procedures during the pandemic: 15 (42.9%) patients underwent primary/interval surgery, while 20 (57.1%) patients had recurrent disease. Grade 3-4 complications occurred in one patient (2.9%) (chronic renal failure), while mortality did not occur in any patient. Neither the patients nor related staff were infected with the coronavirus during the perioperative or early postoperative period. One patient, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia on postoperative day 80 died from the infection. Another patient died on postoperative day 85 due to progressive ovarian cancer, a disorder in vital functions, and organ failure. Conclusion HIPEC during the COVID-19 pandemic seems a safe and feasible procedure, with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. Careful selection of patients is important and precautions should be taken before the procedure.
