Item Safety of Laparoscopic Surgery in the Management of Endometrioid Endometrial Cancer(2023) Durdag, Gulsen Dogan; Alemdaroglu, Songul; Simsek, Seda Yuksel; Yetkinel, Selcuk; Celik, Husnu; 36861713Background: Laparoscopic surgery has increasingly been preferred in recent years. However, data regarding the safety of laparoscopy in endometrial cancer are not sufficient. The aim of this study was to compare perioperative and oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic and laparotomic staging surgery in patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in this population. Methods: Data of 278 patients, who underwent surgical staging for endometrioid endometrial cancer at the gynecologic oncology department of a university hospital between 2012 and 2019, were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic, histopathologic, perioperative, and oncologic characteristics were compared between laparoscopy and laparotomy groups. A subgroup of patients with a body mass index (BMI) >30 was further evaluated. Results: Demographic and histopathologic characteristics were similar between the two groups, while laparoscopic surgery was seen to be significantly superior in terms of perioperative outcomes. The number of removed and metastatic lymph nodes was significantly higher in the laparotomy group; however, this difference did not affect the oncologic outcomes, including recurrence and survival rates, and the two groups had similar results in this aspect. The outcomes of the subgroup with BMI >30 were also in accordance with the whole population. Intraoperative complications in laparoscopy were managed successfully. Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery appears to be advantageous over laparotomy, and depending on the surgical experience, it may be performed safely for surgical staging of endometrioid endometrial cancer.Item Factors associated with the involvement of lymph nodes in low-grade serous ovarian cancer(2021) Akilli, Huseyin; Celik, Husnu; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0002-5240-8441; 34610148; AAX-3230-2020Background and Objectives Evaluating nodal metastases in low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) patients. Methods Women with LGSOC who had undergone primary cytoreductive surgery comprising systematic pelvic-paraaortic lymphadenectomy were included. Data were obtained retrospectively from 12 oncology centers. Results One hundred and forty-eight women with LGSOC who had undergone comprehensive surgical staging were included. Seventy-one (48.0%) patients had metastatic lymph nodes. Preoperative serum CA-125 levels of >= 170 U/ml (odds ratio [OR]: 3.84; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.22-12.07; p = 0.021) and presence of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) (OR: 13.72; 95% CI: 3.36-55.93; p < 0.001) were independent predictors of nodal metastasis in LGSOC. Sixty (40.5%) patients were classified to have apparently limited disease to the ovary/ovaries. Twenty (33.3%) of them were upstaged after surgical staging. Twelve (20.0%) had metastatic lymph nodes. Presence of LVSI (OR: 12.96; 95% CI: 1.14-146.43; p = 0.038) and preoperative serum CA-125 of >= 180 U/ml (OR: 7.19; 95% CI: 1.35-38.12; p = 0.02) were independent predictors of lymph node metastases in apparent Stage I disease. Conclusions Clinicians may consider to perform a reoperation comprising systematic lymphadenectomy in patients who had apparently limited disease to the ovary/ovaries and had not undergone lymphadenectomy initially. Reoperation may be considered particularly in patients whose preoperative serum CA-125 is >= 180 U/ml and/or whose pathological assessment reported the presence of LVSI.Item Comparison of survival outcomes in optimally and maximally cytoreduced stage IIIC ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma: Women with only peritoneal tumor burden versus women with both peritoneal and lymphogenous dissemination(2019) Selcuk, Ilker; Meydanli, Mehmet M.; Yalcin, Ibrahim; Gungorduk, Kemal; Akgol, Sedat; Celik, Husnu; Ayhan, Ali; 31373110Aim The aim of this study was to analyze the survival outcomes of stage IIIC ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) patients with both peritoneal and lymphatic dissemination (IP+/RP+) who had undergone maximal or optimal cytoreduction followed by intravenous carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy compared to those women with stage IIIC ovarian HGSC with only peritoneal involvement (IP+/RP-) who were treated similarly. Methods We performed a retrospective, multicenter study with the participation of five gynecological cancer centers. First, the stage IIIC ovarian HGSC patients were classified into optimally or maximally debulked cohorts. Then, in each cohort, the patients were divided into two groups; the IP+/RP- group included those women with transcoelomic spreading outside the pelvis with no nodal disease, and the IP+/RP+ group included those patients with transcoelomic dissemination outside the pelvis in addition to a positive nodal status. The survival outcomes were compared between the two groups in each cohort. Results A total of 405 ovarian HGSC patients were analyzed. In the optimally debulked cohort (n = 257), the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) medians for the IP+/RP- group (n = 69) were 24 and 57 months, respectively, compared to 21 and 58 months, respectively, for the IP+/RP+ group (n = 188) (P = 0.78 and P = 0.40, respectively). In the maximally debulked cohort (n = 148), the PFS and OS medians for the IP+/RP- group (n = 55) were 35 and 63 months, respectively, compared to 25 and 51 months, respectively, for the IP+/RP+ group (n = 93) (P = 0.49 and P = 0.31, respectively). Conclusion Our findings indicated no survival differences between the IP+/RP- and the IP+/RP+ groups.
