Item Clinicopathologic and Prognostic Significance of CD47 Expression and Tumor-associated Macrophages in Endometrial Carcinoma(2022) Sercan, Cigdem; Haberal Reyhan, Asuman N.; Ozen, Ozlem; Ayhan, Ali; 34282107Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) influence cancer progression. CD47 is an antiphagocytic molecule aiding tumor resistance against host immune surveillance. The relationship between CD47 expression and TAM-related microenvironment in endometrial carcinoma (EC) is poorly understood. The expression and prognostic significance of CD47 and CD163-labeled TAMs in 165 EC cases was assessed with CD47 and CD163 immunohistochemical studies. CD47 expression was found in 156/165 (94.6%) cases. CD47 expression was significantly higher in nonendometrioid carcinomas. CD47 overexpression was associated with histologic grade. High epithelial and stromal TAMs counts were also associated with high tumoral CD47 expression. High epithelial, stromal, and margin TAMs counts were associated with higher histologic grade and lymphovascular invasion. Epithelial TAMs counts were higher in patients with nonendometrioid carcinomas (P=0.0001) and cases with recurrence (P=0.018). High stromal TAMs counts were associated with deeper myometrial invasion (P=0.017) and the presence of distant metastasis (P=0.024). The counts of margin TAMs was significantly correlated with the depth of myometrial invasion, lymphovascular invasion, FIGO stage, lymph node metastases, distant metastasis, and recurrence (P=0.0001, 0.0001, 0.004, 0.005, 0.014, and 0.04, respectively). CD47 expression was not associated with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival. However, high epithelial and stromal TAM counts were associated with shorter OS. Besides, high epithelial and margin TAM counts were associated with shorter progression-free survival. Furthermore, increased stromal and margin TAM counts were determined to be an independent prognostic marker of reduced OS. TAM count is, therefore, a significant prognostic factor in EC and the CD47 assessment has potential benefit for future clinical use.Item Post-Recurrence Survival In Patients With Cervical Cancer(2022) Cibula, David; Dostalek, Lukas; Jarkovsky, Jiri; Mom, Constantijne H.; Lopez, Aldo; Falconer, Henrik; Scambia, Giovanni; Ayhan, Ali; Kim, Sarah H.; Isla Ortiz, David; Klat, Jaroslav; Obermair, Andreas; Di Martino, Giampaolo; Klat, Jaroslav; Obermair, Andreas; Di Martino, Giampaolo; Pareja, Rene; Manchanda, Ranjit; Kos'un, Jan; dos Reis, Ricardo; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Odetto, Diego; Laky, Rene; Zapardiel, Ignacio; Weinberger, Vit; Benesova, Klara; Borcinova, Martina; Cardenas, Fernando; Wallin, Emelie; Borcinova, Martina; Cardenas, Fernando; Wallin, Emelie; Anchora, Luigi Pedone; Akilli, Huseyin; Abu-Rustum, Nadeem R.; Barquet-Munoz, Salim Abraham; Javurkova, Veronika; Fischerova, Daniela; van Lonkhuijzen, Luc R. 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 Prognostic Factors in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vulva: a Retrospective Multicenter Study(2020) Kuru, Oguzhan; Akgor, Utku; Cakir, Ilker; Tosun, Ozgur; Yuksel, Ilkbal Temel; Ulker, Volkan; Meydanli, Mutlu; Sanci, Muzaffer; Gokcu, Mehmet; Topuz, Samet; Yildiz, Ferah; Sakinci, Mehmet; Salman, Mehmet Coskun; Ozgul, Nejat; Yuce, Kunter; Ayhan, Ali; AAJ-5802-2021The study aim to determine the clinicopathological factors for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in women with vulvar cancer and to analyze the the possible effect of metformin on survival of the patients. From 2011 to 2017, medical records of 142 patients who underwent primary radical surgery for VC at 6 referral centers in Turkey were collected, retrospectively. The median age of the cohort was 67.0 years. 124 patients underwent radical surgery and inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy. The overall recurrence rate was 33.8% within a median follow-up time of 22 months. Five-year DFS and OS rates were 55.8% and 62.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed surgical margin (HR:6.4, p= 0.017 for DFS; HR: 13.6, p=0.009 for OS) and lymph node metastasis (HR: 4.1, p= 0.014 for DFS; HR: 6.3, p= 0.020 for OS) were the independent prognostic factors. There was no statistically difference in DFS and OS for patients who had used metformin.
