Öğe Beyond traditional therapies: clinical significance of complex molecular profiling in patients with advanced solid tumours-results from a Turkish multi-centre study(Oxford Univ Press, 2024) Olmez, Omer Fatih; Bilici, Ahmet; Er, Ozlem; Bisgin, Atil; Sevinc, Alper; Akman, Tulay; Uslu, RuchanObjective The objective of this multi-centre, real-world study was to examine the potential influence of comprehensive molecular profiling on the development of treatment decisions or adjustments for patients with advanced solid malignancies. We then evaluated the impact of these informed choices on patient treatment outcomes.Methods The study encompassed 234 adult patients (mean age: 52.7 +/- 14.3 years, 54.7% women) who were diagnosed with solid tumours at 21 different medical centres in Turkey. Remarkably, 67.9% of the patients exhibited metastasis at the time of diagnosis. We utilized an OncoDNA (Gosselies, Belgium) platform (OncoDEEP) integrating next-generation sequencing with additional tests to harvest complex molecular profiling data. The results were analyzed in relation with two specific outcomes: (i) the impact on therapeutic decisions, including formulation or modifications, and (ii) associated treatment response.Results Out of the 228 patients with final molecular profiling results, 118 (50.4%) had their treatment modified, whilst the remaining 110 (47.0%) did not. The response rates were comparable, with 3.9 versus 3.4% for complete response, 13.6 versus 29.3% for partial response, 66.9 versus 51.7% for progressive disease and 15.5 versus 15.5% for stable disease for treatments informed and not informed by complex molecular profiling, respectively (P = 0.16).Conclusion Our real-world findings highlight the significant impact of complex molecular profiling on the treatment decisions made by oncologists for a substantial portion of patients with advanced solid tumours. Regrettably, no significant advantage was detected in terms of treatment response or disease control rates. Our real-world study reveals complex molecular profiling significantly impacts treatment decisions for advanced solid tumour patients, though without significant differences in treatment responses.Öğe Clinical and Pathologic Features of Patients with Rare Ovarian Tumors: Multi-Center Review of 167 Patients by the Anatolian Society of Medical Oncology(Asian Pacific Organization Cancer Prevention, 2013) Bilici, Ahmet; Inanc, Mevlude; Ulas, Arife; Akman, Tulay; Seker, Mesut; Babacan, Nalan Akgul; Inal, AliBackground: Non-epithelial malignant ovarian tumors and clear cell carcinomas, Brenner tumors, transitional cell tumors, and carcinoid tumors of the ovary are rare ovarian tumors (ROTs). In this study, our aim was to determine the clinicopathological features of ROT patients and prognostic factors associated with survival. Materials and Methods: A total of 167 patients with ROT who underwent initial surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Prognostic factors that may influence the survival of patients were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: Of 167 patients, 75 (44.9%) were diagnosed with germ-cell tumors (GCT) and 68 (40.7%) with sex cord-stromal tumors (SCST); the remaining 24 had other rare ovarian histologies. Significant differences were found between ROT groups with respect to age at diagnosis, tumor localization, initial surgery type, tumor size, tumor grade, and FIGO stage. Three-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates and median PFS intervals for patients with other ROT were worse than those of patients with GCT and SCST (41.8% vs 79.6% vs 77.1% and 30.2 vs 72 vs 150 months, respectively; p=0.01). Moreover, the 3-year overall survival (OS) rates and median OS times for patients with both GCT and SCST were better as compared to patients with other ROT, but these differences were not statistically significant (87.7% vs 88.8% vs 73.9% and 170 vs 122 vs 91 months, respectively; p=0.20). In the univariate analysis, tumor localization (p<0.001), FIGO stage (p<0.001), and tumor grade (p=0.04) were significant prognostic factors for PFS. For OS, the univariate analysis indicated that tumor localization (p=0.01), FIGO stage (p=0.001), and recurrence (p<0.001) were important prognostic indicators. Multivariate analysis showed that FIGO stage for PFS (p=0.001, HR: 0.11) and the presence of recurrence (p=0.02, HR: 0.54) for OS were independent prognostic factors. Conclusions: ROTs should be evaluated separately from epithelial ovarian cancers because of their different biological features and natural history. Due to the rarity of these tumors, determination of relevant prognostic factors as a group may help as a guide for more appropriate adjuvant or recurrent therapies for ROTs.Öğe Impact of adding pertuzumab to trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer patients: a multicenter real-life HER2PATH study(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Bilici, Ahmet; Olmez, Omer Fatih; Kaplan, Muhammed Ali; Oksuzoglu, Berna; Sezer, Ahmet; Karadurmus, Nuri; Cubukcu, ErdemAimTo investigate the pathological complete response (pCR) achieved after neoadjuvant therapy with versus without adding pertuzumab (P) to trastuzumab (H) plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in HER2+ breast cancer (BC) patients in a real-life setting.MethodsA total of 1528 female HER2+ BC patients who received NCT plus H with or without P were included in this retrospective real-life study. Primary endpoint was pCR rate (ypT0/Tis ypN0). Clinicopathological characteristics, event-free survival (EFS) time, and relapse rates were evaluated with respect to HER2 blockade (NCT-H vs. NCT-HP) and pCR.ResultsOverall, 62.2% of patients received NCT-H and 37.8% received NCT-HP. NCT-HP was associated with a significantly higher pCR rate (66.4 vs. 56.8%, p < 0.001) and lower relapse (4.5 vs. 12.2%, p < 0.001) in comparison to NCT-H. Patients with pCR had a significantly lower relapse (5.6 vs. 14.9%, p < 0.001) and longer EFS time (mean(SE) 111.2(1.9) vs. 93.9(2.7) months, p < 0.001) compared to patients with non-pCR. Patients in the NCT-HP group were more likely to receive docetaxel (75.0 vs. 40.6%, p < 0.001), while those with pCR were more likely to receive paclitaxel (50.2 vs. 40.7%, p < 0.001) and NCT-HP (41.5 vs. 32.1%, p < 0.001). Hormone receptor status and breast conservation rates were similar in NCT-HP vs. NCT-H groups and in patients with vs. without pCR. Invasive ductal carcinoma (OR, 2.669, 95% CI 1.596 to 4.464, p < 0.001), lower histological grade of the tumor (OR, 4.052, 95% CI 2.446 to 6.713, p < 0.001 for grade 2 and OR, 3.496, 95% CI 2.020 to 6.053, p < 0.001 for grade 3), lower T stage (OR, 1.959, 95% CI 1.411 to 2.720, p < 0.001) and paclitaxel (vs. docetaxel, OR, 1.571, 95% CI 1.127 to 2.190, p = 0.008) significantly predicted the pCR.ConclusionsThis real-life study indicates that adding P to NCT-H enables higher pCR than NCT-H in HER2+ BC, while pCR was associated with lower relapse and better EFS time.Öğe Real-life analysis of pathologic complete response with neoadjuvant trastuzumab plus taxane with or without pertuzumab therapy in HER2 positive locally-advanced breast cancer (HER2PATH Study).(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022) Bilici, Ahmet; Olmez, Omer Fatih; Sezer, Ahmet; Oksuzoglu, Berna; Kaplan, Muhammet Ali; Karadurmus, Nuri; Cubukcu, Erdem[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Treatment preferences in stage IA and IB testicular seminoma: multicenter study of Anatolian Society of Medical Oncology(Springer, 2015) Bilici, Ahmet; Ozturk, Turkan; Turkmen, Esma; Odabas, Hatice; Cihan, Sener; Selcukbiricik, Fatih; Erdogan, BulentApproximately 75 % of patients with testicular seminoma present with stage I disease, and the probability of long-term survival approaches 100 %. However, the standard adjuvant treatment for stage I seminoma patients remains controversial, and there is no uniform consensus in the literature. The present study was performed to evaluate treatment preference and outcomes for men with stage I testicular seminoma. From 1997 to 2013, 282 patients with histologically confirmed stage IA and IB testicular seminoma who underwent orchiectomy were included. The outcomes of three management options and survivals were retrospectively analyzed. The prognostic significance of risk factors for relapse on survival was evaluated by univariate and multivariate analysis; in addition, the factors predicting relapse were also evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Of the 282 patients with stage I seminoma, 130 (46.1) received adjuvant radiotherapy (RT), 80 (28.4 %) were treated with adjuvant carboplatin, while the remaining 72 patients (25.5 %) underwent surveillance. At the time of analysis, the median follow-up period of 38.5 months; relapses were observed in 16 patients (22.3 %) on surveillance, in one patient (1.2 %) treated with adjuvant carboplatin and in ten patients (%7.7) who received adjuvant RT. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate for patients who underwent surveillance was worse than those of patients treated with adjuvant carboplatin and RT (64.2 vs. 97.7 vs. 91.9 %, respectively; p < 0.001). However, the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate for patients on surveillance was similar compared with the adjuvant treatment groups (100 vs. 92.3 vs. 97.4 %, respectively; p = 0.44). Univariate analysis showed that only the treatment approach (surveillance vs. adjuvant carboplatin vs. adjuvant RT) for DFS (p < 0.001), invasion of the rete testis (p = 0.041) and the presence of relapse (p < 0.001) for OS were important prognostic indicators. Multivariate analysis indicated that the treatment strategy for DFS (p < 0.001, HR 0.34) was an independent prognostic factor. Furthermore, a logistic regression analysis showed that adjuvant treatment was found to be an independent factor for predicting relapse (p = 0.004, odds ratio: 0.39). Our results indicate that adjuvant treatment with carboplatin or RT is associated with improved DFS compared with surveillance for men with stage I testicular seminoma after orchiectomy. Moreover, the treatment strategy is an important prognostic indicator for DFS and a predictive factor for relapse. Although adjuvant treatment, especially carboplatin, seems to be a suitable treatment for patients with risk factors for relapse, surveillance is still feasible and the preferred management option after radical orchiectomy in men with stage I seminoma. More reliable predictive factors are needed to make treatment decisions.
