    Effect of Upfront Docetaxel in De Novo Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Patients with Gleason Grade Group 5
    (2023) Yildirim, Serkan; Yilmaz, Cengiz; 37926887
    Objective: To investigate whether adding docetaxel chemotherapy to androgen deprivation therapy is effective regarding progression-free and overall survival in patients with de novo metastatic castration- sensitive prostate cancer patients with Gleason Grade Group 5 (Gleason scores 9 and 10). Study Design: Observational study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Medical Oncology at Manisa Celal Bayar University, Izmir Ege University, Bitlis Tatvan Public Hospital, Izmir Bozyaka Education and Research Hospital, and Izmir Kent Hospital, from March 2015 to May 2020. Methodology: Patients with de novo metastatic castration-sensitive and histopathologically confirmed GGG 5 prostate cancer were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups. The first group included patients who were given androgen deprivation therapy alone ( ADT-only group), and the second group consisted of patients who were given ADT plus docetaxel (chemohormonal group). The two groups were compared in terms of overall survival and progression-free survival till cut-off limit. Results: A total of 194 patients with metastatic castration-sensitive and GGG 5 prostate cancer were analysed retrospectively. The chemohormonal group comprised of 72 patients, and the ADT-only group included 122 patients. Median progression-free survival was 15.7 months in the chemohormonal group and 14.8 months in the ADT-only group (p = 0.97). The median overall survival was 37.5 months in the chemohormonal group and 37.8 months in the ADT-only group (p = 0.93). Conclusion: The addition of docetaxel chemotherapy in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive and GGG 5 prostate cancer did not result in a statistically significant difference in terms of overall survival and progression-free survival. Docetaxel may be ineffective in this group of patients.

    Docetaxel, Cisplatin, and Fluorouracil Combination in Neoadjuvant Setting in The Treatment of Locally Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma: Phase II NEOTAX Study
    (2014) Ozdemir, Nuriye; Abali, Huseyin; Vural, Murat; Yalcin, Suayib; Oksuzoglu, Berna; Civelek, Burak; Oguz, Dilek; Bostanci, Birol; Yalcin, Bulent; Zengin, Nurullah; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5596-0920; 25234436; D-7660-2016
    This phase II trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil (DCF) combination in neoadjuvant setting in patients with locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Fifty-nine patients with resectable or unresectable locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal cancer were recruited in this multicenter, single-arm, open-label, local clinical phase II study conducted at three centers from Turkey between June 2006 and March 2012. Patients had T3-4 or lymph node-positive disease. After staging with imaging and laparotomy or laparoscopy, they received three cycles of DCF with lenograstim. Imaging studies were repeated after the last two cycles. Patients who underwent surgery were followed up for at least 1 year after the surgery. Toxicity and response were evaluated in accordance with NCI-CTC version3.0 and RECIST 1.0. At baseline, 66.1 % of patients were considered resectable. In 47 patients evaluable, partial response in 16 (34.0 %), stable disease in 27 (57.5 %), and progressive disease in four (8.5 %) were observed. Forty-six patients underwent surgery. In 38 (64.4 %; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 52.2-76.6 %) out of 59 patients, complete resection (R0) was achieved. Median overall and disease-free survival were 19.1 months (95 % CI 13.5-24.7) and 11.6 months (95 % CI 5.9-17.4), respectively. The most frequent grade 3-4 adverse events were neutropenia (52.5 %), febrile neutropenia (11.9 %), leukopenia (39.0 %), and diarrhea (10.5 %). One patient died from an unknown cause. Classical DCF triplet with lenograstim showed a good clinical response with acceptable safety profile in the treatment of locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal cancer with a significant R0 rate and manageable toxicity.
