Öğe Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Routine Practice: A Turkish Multicenter Study(Galenos Yayincilik, 2019) Ciftciler, Rafiye; Sevindik, Omur Gokmen; Tekgunduz, Ali Irfan Emre; Erkurt, Mehmet Ali; Vural, Filiz; Turgut, Burhan; Kaynar, LeylagulObjective: Significant developments occurred in the clinical management of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in adults in recent decades. However, treatment results are still not satisfactory, especially in routine practice. The objective of this study was to evaluate the general clinical features, treatment details, and outcomes of a large group of patients followed in multiple centers in Turkey with a diagnosis of ALL. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of the data of patients with ALL was made, the patients having been diagnosed and treated between January 2003 and June 2017 by different protocols in the hematology clinics of ten different centers. A total of 288 patients, aged between 17 and 76 years old, were included in the study. In this retrospective multicenter analysis of patients with ALL, classification of patients was performed based on treatment period, Philadelphia chromosome positivity, treatment regimen, and administration of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Results: The majority of cases were B-cell in origin, while 224 patients had B-ALL and 64 of the patients had T-ALL. Median follow-up duration for all patients was 18.2 months (range: 0.03-161 months). Philadelphia chromosome positivity was determined in 49 patients (21.9%), and 54 patients (18.8%) were receiving allo-HSCT. After induction chemotherapy, 219 patients (76.0%) achieved complete remission, 32 patients (11.2%) were evaluated as treatment refractory, and 37 patients (12.8%) were deceased. Median overall survival was 47.7 months (95% confidence interval: 36.1-59.2) and median disease-free survival was 23.4 months (95% confidence interval: 6.7-40.0) for all patients. Conclusion: Multicenter studies are extremely important for defining the specific clinical features of a particular disease. The results of this study will make a significant contribution to the literature as they reflect real-life data providing valuable information about the Turkish ALL patient profile.Öğe Autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization and collection in adult patients presentingwith multiple myeloma and lymphoma: a position-statement from the turkish society of apheresis(tsa)(Pergamon-elsevıer scıence ltd, the boulevard, langford lane, kıdlıngton, oxford ox5 1gb, england, 2017) Vural, Filiz; Erkurt, Mehmet AliAutologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is a routinely used procedure in the treatment of adult patients presenting with multiple myeloma (MM), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and various subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in upfront and relapsed/refractory settings. Successful hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization (HPCM) and collection are the rate limiting first steps for application of AHCT. In 2015, alinost 1700 AHCT procedures have been performed for MM, HL and NHL in Turkey. Although there are recently published consensus guidelines addressing critical issues regarding autologous HPCM, there is a tremendous heterogeneity in terms of mobilization strategies of transplant centers across the world. In order to pave the way to a more standardized HPCM approach in Turkey, Turkish Society of Apheresis (TSA) assembled a working group consisting of experts in the field. Here we report the position statement of TSA regarding autologous HPCM mobilization strategies in adult patients presenting with MM and lymphoma. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

We have retrospectively evaluated R/R-MM patients who were treated with CFZ plus dexamethasone. Materials and methods: Twenty-one R/R-MM patients who were treated with CFZ plus dexamethasone between October 2013 and January 2016 were screened. The patients were followed until March 2016 after CFZ treatment. Results: Ten (47.6%) of the patients were female and 11 (52.4%) of them were male. The median age was 62 (47-76) years. The median number of prior treatment lines was 3 (2-7). The median number of administered cycles of treatment for CFZ was 4 (1-10). The median overall response rate was 26.3%. The most common hematological adverse events were anemia and thrombocytopenia (38%). The most common nonhematological adverse event was fatigue (71.4%). One patient died because of a cerebrovascular event and 1 patient died because of pneumonia during the treatment period. The median duration of response rate and time to next therapy were 8 (7-9) and 3 (2-16) months, respectively. The median overall survival was 8 (0.5-33) months. Conclusion: Despite the small number of patients, our results suggest that CFZ provides acceptable responses in heavily pretreated R/R-MM patients.Öğe Carfilzomib experience in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: a single-center experience(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2018) Uysal, Ayse; Akad Soyer, Nur; Ozkan, Melda; Sahin, Fahri; Vural, Filiz; Tobu, Mahmut; Tombuloglu, MuratBackground/aim: Carfilzomib (CFZ) is a new-generation proteasome inhibitor with significant activity in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (R/R-MM).

Although there are recently published consensus guidelines addressing critical issues regarding autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization (HPCM), mobilization strategies of transplant centers show high variability in terms of routine practice. In order to understand the current institutional policies regarding HPCM in Turkey and to obtain the required basic data for preparation of a national positional statement on this issue, Turkish Hematology Research and Education Group (ThREG) conducted a web-based HPCM survey. The survey was designed to include multiple-choice questions regarding institutional practice of HPCM in adults presenting MM, HL, and NHL. The representatives of 27 adult HCT centers participated to the study. Here we report the results of this survey shedding light on the real world experience in Turkey in terms of autologous HPCM mobilization strategies in patients presenting with MM and lymphoma.

Chronic hepatitis C is frequently observed in SMZL patients in some geographical regions. However, these reports are largely from North America and Europe, and data from other countries are insufficient. In this multicenter study we aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of SMZL patients in Turkey, including viral hepatitis status and treatment details. Materials and Methods: Data were gathered from participating centers from different regions of Turkey using IBM SPSS Statistics 23 for Windows. Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-HBs antibody, anti-HB core antigen antibody (anti-HBcAg), HB viral load, anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, HCV viral load results were analyzed. Results: One hundred and four patients were reported. Hepatitis C virus positivity was observed in only one patient. However, hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) positivity was observed in 11.2% and HBsAg and/or anti-HB core antigen antibody (anti-HBcAg) positivities were seen in 34.2% of the patients. The median age was 60 years (range=35-87). Median follow-up duration was 21.2 months (range=00.2-212; 23.2 months for surviving patients). Median overall survival was not reached. Estimated 3-year and 10-year survival rates were 84.8% and 68.9%, respectively. Older age, no splenectomy during follow-up, platelet count of <90x103/µL, lower albumin, higher lactate dehydrogenase, higher ?2-microglobulin, and HBsAg positivity were associated with increased risk of death. Only albumin remained significant in multivariable analysis. Conclusion: These results indicate that hepatitis B virus may be a possible risk factor for SMZL in our population. It may also be an indirect prognostic factor.Öğe Turkish Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Registry, Retrospective Phase Data(Amer Soc Hematology, 2019) Demirkan, Fatih; Ciftciler, Rafiye; Sevindik, Omur Gokmen; Tekgunduz, Emre; Erkurt, Mehmet Ali; Vural, Filiz; Turgut, Burhan[Abstract Not Available]
