Item Is the Oncological Outcome of Early Stage Uterine Carcinosarcoma Different from That of Grade 3 Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma?(2021) Gungorduk, Kemal; Plett, Helmut; Gulseren, Varol; Meydanli, Mutlu; Boyraz, Gokhan; Ozdemir, Isa Aykut; Sahin, Hanifi; Senol, Taylan; Yildirim, Nuri; Turan, Taner; Oge, Tufan; Gokcu, Mehmet; Taskin, Salih; Ayhan, Ali; Ataseven, Beyhan; 33249415; AAJ-5802-2021Aim: The clinicopathologic characteristics, recurrence patterns, and survival of patients with grade 3 endometrial cancer (G3-EAC) and uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) were compared. Materials and Methods: The medical records of patients treated for G3-EAC and UCS between January 1996 and December 2016 at 11 gynecologic oncology centers in Turkey and Germany were analyzed. Results: Of all patients included in the study, 161 (45.1%) were diagnosed with UCS and 196 (54.9%) with G3-EAC at FIGO stage I-II (early stage) disease. The recurrence rate was higher in patients with UCS than in those with G3-EAC (17.4 vs. 9.2%, p = 0.02). The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS; 75.2 and 80.8%, respectively; p = 0.03) and overall survival (OS; 79.4 and 83.4%, respectively; p = 0.04) rates were significantly lower in the UCS group compared to the G3-EAC group. UCS histology was an independent prognostic factor for decreased 5-year DFS (HR 1.8, 95% CI 1.2-3.2; p = 0.034) and OS (HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.3-6.9; p = 0.041) rates. Conclusions: The recurrence rate was higher in UCS patients than in G3-EAC patients, regardless of disease stage. DFS and OS were of shorter duration in UCS than in G3-EAC patients. Adequate systematic lymphadenectomy and omentectomy were an independent prognostic factor for increased 5-year DFS and OS rates.Item Clinical Outcomes of Patients with High-Grade Ovarian Carcinoma Arising in Endometriosis Compared to Ovarian High-Grade Serous Carcinoma(2021) Yalcin, Ibrahim; Sahin, Hanifi; Sari, Mustafa Erkan; Haberal, Asuman Nihan; Sahin, Eda Adeviye; Celik, Husnu; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0003-1185-9227Purpose To compare the prognoses of women with high-grade ovarian carcinoma arising in endometriosis (OCAE) to those of women with ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) Material and Methods This multicenter, retrospective, case-control study included patients with OCAE at two gynecologic oncology centers in Turkey between January 2006 and December 2016. Of a total of 202 women with a diagnosis of OCAE, 70 women with high-grade OCAE were included. Each case high-grade OCAE was attributed to two women with ovarian HGSC. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results Eleven patients with high-grade OCAE had recurrent disease (15.7%) when compared to 47 patients (33.6%) with HGSC (p = 0.008). The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate of the patients having high-grade OCAE was significantly higher than the women with HGSC (78.3% vs. 56.2%; p = 0.007, respectively). According to the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates, there was no significant difference between high-grade OCAE and HGSC (79.5% vs. 70.1%; p = 0.210, respectively). Conclusion Although this retrospective study demonstrated a significant decrease in recurrence rate and an increase in the 5-year DFS rate in patients with high-grade OCAE, OS rates of the patients with HGSC and high-grade OCAE seem to be similar.Item Survival outcomes of women with grade 3 endometrioid endometrial cancer: the impact of adjuvant treatment strategies(2021) Gungorduk, Kemal; Muallem, Jumana; Asicioglu, Osman; Gulseren, Varol; Gulec, Umran Kucukgoz; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Sehouli, Jalid; Ozdemir, Aykut; Sahin, Hanifi; Khatib, Ghanim; Miranda, Andrea; Boran, Nurettin; Senol, Taylan; Yildirim, Nuri; Turan, Taner; Ozge, Tufan; Taskin, Salih; Vardar, Mehmet Ali; Ayhan, Ali; Muallem, Mustafa Zelal; 34448946Aim This multicenter investigation was performed to evaluate the adjuvant treatment options, prognostic factors, and patterns of recurrence in patients with grade 3 endometrioid endometrial cancer (G3-EEC). Materials and methods The medical reports of patients undergoing at least total hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy for G3-EEC between 1996 and 2018 at 11 gynecological oncology centers were analyzed. Optimal surgery was defined as removal of all disease except for residual nodules with a maximum diameter <= 1 cm, as determined at completion of the primary operation. Adequate systematic lymphadenectomy was defined as the removal of at least 15 pelvic and at least 5 paraaortic LNs. Results The study population consists of 465 women with G3-EEC. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates of the entire cohort are 50.3% and 57.6%, respectively. Adequate systematic lymphadenectomy was achieved in 429 (92.2%) patients. Optimal surgery was achieved in 135 (75.0%) patients in advanced stage. Inadequate lymphadenectomy (DFS; HR 3.4, 95% CI 3.0-5.6; P = 0.016-OS; HR 3.2, 95% CI 1.6-6.5; P = 0.019) was independent prognostic factors for 5-year DFS and OS. Conclusion Inadequate lymphadenectomy and LVSI were independent prognostic factors for worse DFS and OS in women with stage I-II G3-EEC. Adequate lymphadenectomy and optimal surgery were independent prognostic factors for better DFS and OS in women with stage III-IV G3-EEC.Item Recurrence patterns and prognostic factors in lymphovascular space invasion-positive endometrioid endometrial cancer surgically confined to the uterus(2019) Sahin, Hanifi; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Sari, Mustafa Erkan; Kocaman, Eda; Cuylan, Zeliha Fırat; Yalcin, Ibrahim; Coban, Gonca; Ozen, Ozlem; Sirvan, Levent; Gungor, Tayfun; Ayhan, Ali; 30638487Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the patterns of failure and prognostic factors for lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI)-positive endometrioid endometrial cancer (EC) patients in the setting of negative lymph nodes (LNs). Materials and methods: A multicenter, retrospective department database review was performed to identify LVSI-positive patients with disease surgically confined to the uterus at two gynecologic oncology centers in Turkey. Demographic, clinicopathological and survival data were collected. Results: We identified 185 LVSI-positive women with negative LNs during the study period. Fifty-five (29.7%) were classified as Stage IA, 94 (50.8%) as Stage IB, and 36 (19.5%) as Stage II. The median age at diagnosis was 59 years and the median duration of follow-up was 44 months. The total number of the recurrences was 12 (6.5%). We observed 5 (2.9%) loco-regional recurrences, 3 (1.5%) retroperitoneal failures, and 4 (2.0%) distant relapses. The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 86.1% while the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 87.7%. Grade 3 histology (Hazard Ratio [HR] 2.9, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.02-8.50; p = 0.04), cervical stromal invasion (HR 4.5, 95% CI 1.61-12.79; p = 0.004) and age > 60 years (HR 5.8, 95% CI 1.62-21.32; p = 0.007) were found to be independent prognostic factors for decreased OS. Adjuvant treatment did not appear as a prognostic factor for OS even in univariate analysis. Conclusion: The recurrence rate among LVSI-positive endometrioid EC patients is low in the setting of negative LNs. However, one out of three patients with a recurrence experiences distant relapses which usually portend worse outcomes. (C) 2018 Taiwan Association of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

Between the years 2006 and 2016, a total of 22 early stage cervical cancer patients who underwent a fertility-sparing radical abdominal trachelectomy in our clinic were retrospectively analysed. The median age was 33 (range: 28-39) years. The median follow-up was 47 (range: 22-125) months. Five patients (22.7%) had Stage IA1, three patients had (13.6%) Stage IA2, and 14 patients (63.6%) had Stage IB1 disease. Only one patient had a recurrence. A pregnancy was obtained in five patients (22.7%) and one of them (20%) had a live birth. A pregnancy was obtained spontaneously in two patients (40%), whereas assisted reproductive techniques were used in three of the patients (60%). A miscarriage occurred in two patients (40%), and one of them was within the first trimester and the other was within the second trimester.Item Uterine smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential: fertility and clinical outcomes(2019) Sahin, Hanifi; Karatas, Funda; Coban, Gonca; Ozen, Ozlem; Erdem, Ozlem; Onan, Mehmet Anil; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0002-3285-5519; 31074239Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features, obstetric, and oncological outcomes of patients diagnosed with a uterine smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP). Methods: A dual-institutional, database review was carried out to screen patients with STUMP who were treated with upfront surgery between January 2006 and December 2017. Data including age at the time of diagnosis, recurrence rate, disease-free survival, overall survival, and fertility outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Fifty-seven patients with STUMPs were included in the study. The median age at the time of diagnosis was 42 (range, 16 to 75) years. The median follow-up was 57 (range, 16 to 125) months. Eight patients (14%) had recurrence during follow-up. Recurrent STUMPs were seen in seven patients and leiomyosarcoma after 14 months in one patient. Seven patients with a recurrent STUMP survived, while the remaining patient died. Recurrence rates were similar for women who underwent myomectomy and those who underwent hysterectomy. The presence of uterine localization of tumor (subserosal vs intramural-submucosal) statistically significantly affected recurrence rates (odds ratio=5.72; 95% confidence interval=1.349-24.290; p=0.018). Ten of 27 patients who underwent myomectomy for uterine myoma had fertility desire. Seven pregnancies were recorded. Conclusions: Our study results suggest that fertility-sparing approaches are feasible in patients with STUMP, although recurrence may be seen.Item Oncological Outcomes of Stage IIIA Endometrioid Type Endometrial Cancer: A Multicenter Study(2019) Sahin, Hanifi; Yalcin, Ibrahim; Sari, Mustafa Erkan; Sahin, Eda Adeviye; Aslan, Koray; Aglamis, Ozgur; Gulseren, Varol; Gungorduk, Kemal; Meydanli, Mehmet Mutlu; Ayhan, AliThe objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate Stage IIIA endometrioid type endometrial carcinomas (ECCs) and to analyze clinical and pathological determinants of prognosis in three tertiary hospitals between January 2007 and January 2017. Forty-seven patients with a median age of 61 (range: 31 to 76) years were diagnosed with Stage IIIA disease. Median follow-up was 45 (range: 6 to 116) months. The five-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 57.2%, and the overall survival (OS) rate was 59.7%. In the univariate analysis, age and grade of the disease (1-2 versus 3) disease were found to be significant factors for DFS. Univariate analysis also revealed the presence of cervical stromal involvement and grade of the disease were associated with decreased OS. In the multivariate analysis, however, only patients with an advanced histological grade had a reduced risk for OS (hazard ratio [FIR] 2.9; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.020-8.615; p= 0.040). In conclusion, histological grade seems to be an independent prognostic factor for OS in patients with Stage IIIA ECCs.Item Outcome of sacrospinous ligament fixation with conventional instruments in the treatment of Stage 3-4 vaginal vault prolapse(2019) Sahin, Hanifi; Yalcin, Ibrahim; Sahin, Eda Adeviye; Sari, Mustafa Erkan; Ayhan, AliPurpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) at 12 months following the operation. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with vaginal vault prolapse and underwent SSLF between January 2014 and May 2017. The subjective evaluation was performed according to the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I). The objective success rate at the end of 12 months was evaluated, and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Quantification System (POP-Q) Stage 0 or 1 was considered as a successful outcome. The effectiveness of the operation and the complication rates were evaluated during one-year follow-up. Results: A total of 26 patients were included in the study. Twelve patients (46.2%) underwent unilateral SSLF and 14 patients (53.8%) bilateral SSLF operation. At 12 months, the objective and subjective success rates were 100% and 100%, respectively. There was a significant difference between the unilateral and bilateral SSLF groups in terms of the operation time and intraoperative bleeding. After one-year follow-up, only three patients (11.3%) complained about mild gluteal pain. Conclusion: The suspension of the vagina to the unilateral or bilateral sacrospinous ligament was an effective and safe surgical method in patients with post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse.Item Oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing maximal or optimal cytoreductive surgery for Stage 3C serous ovarian, tubal or peritoneal carcinomas(2019) Gurkan, Damla; Akin, Aylin Ceren; Sahin, Hanifi; Tohma, Yusuf Aytac; Sahin, Eda Adeviye; Gunakan, Emre; Iflazoglu, Nidal; Haberal, Asuman Nihan; Ayhan, Ali; 0000-0001-9418-4733; 31482736The aim of this study was to evaluate overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with Stage 3C serous ovarian, tubal and peritoneal carcinomas. A retrospective analysis of 111 patients who underwent maximal or optimal cytoreductive surgery was performed. Patients were divided into three groups as ovarian cancer (n = 47), tubal cancer (n = 24) and peritoneal cancer (n = 40). Median follow-up was 30 months. There was no significant difference in DFS and OS among the groups. Complete cytoreduction was an independent prognostic factor for DFS in all groups (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.14-4.93; p=.020). Positive peritoneal cytology (HR 2.2, 95% CI 1.02-4.78; p=.044), and retroperitoneal lymph node involvement (HR 2.3, 95% CI1.11-4.89; p=.025) were independent risk factors for decreased OS, and extended cytoreduction (HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.05-6.99; p=.039) were independent risk factors for increased OS. In conclusion, these malignancies should be considered a single entity during treatment.IMPACT STATEMENT What is already known on this subject? Epithelial ovarian cancer is the second most common gynaecological cancer in women worldwide. There are different histological types including ovarian, tubal and peritoneal carcinomas in which malignant cells form in the tissue covering the ovary or lining the fallopian tube of peritoneum. Recent data have supported the view that these malignancies should be considered a single entity and should be treated the same way. What the results of this study add? In the present study, we evaluated overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with Stage 3C ovarian, tubal and peritoneal cancer undergoing maximal or optimal cytoreductive surgery. We found similar oncologic outcomes in all patient groups. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to compare oncologic outcomes of these similar and often confused malignancies in the literature. We, therefore, believe that the present study provides additional information to the body of knowledge on this topic. s are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? This study is important, as it indicates similar oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing maximal or optimal cytoreductive surgery for Stage 3C ovarian, tubal and peritoneal cancer. Based on these findings, clinicians should keep in mind that these malignancies should be considered a single clinical entity and be treated the same way. We believe that our study would pave the way for further studies regarding this subject.Item Are There Any Predictors of Endometrial Premalignancy/Malignancy within Endometrial Polyps in Infertile Patients?(2019) Tohma, Yusuf Aytac; Onalan, Gogsen; Esin, Sertac; Sahin, Hanifi; Aysun, Dide; Kuscu, Esra; Haberal, Ali; Zeyneloglu, Hulusi Bulent; 0000-0001-9418-4733; 31311015Background: In the literature, there is no detailed analysis on the prediction factors for premalignancy/malignancy within endometrial polyps (EPs) in infertile patients. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of endometrial premalignancy/malignancy within EPs in infertile patients undergoing office hysteroscopic polypectomy and identify the factors that can potentially predict an endometrial premalignancy/malignancy within EPs. Method: A total of 957 infertile patients undergoing office hysteroscopy were diagnosed with EPs between February 2011 and August 2018. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the pathological examination of EPs as benign (Group 1; n = 939) and premalignant/malignant (Group 2; n = 18). The medical records of all patients included in the study were reviewed retrospectively. Results: In this cohort, prevalence of endometrial premalignancy/malignancy within EPs was 18/957 (1.88%). On univariate analysis, age, polyp size, diabetes, hypertension, and causes of infertility did not differ between the 2 groups. On multivariate analysis, diffuse polypoid appearance of the endometrial cavity on office hysteroscopy (hazard ratio [HR] 4.1; 95% CI 1.576-10.785), duration of infertility, (HR 4; 95% CI 1.279-12.562), and body mass index (HR 7.9; 95% CI 2.591-24.258) were found to be independent predictors of endometrial premalignancy/malignancy within polyps in infertile patients. Conclusion: When diffuse polypoid appearance of the endometrial cavity is detected in an infertile patient during office hysteroscopy, hysteroscopy-guided resection and endometrial curettage should be performed. The pathological specimen should be sent for histopathological evaluation to diagnose possible endometrial premalignancy/malignancy within polyps.
