Öğe Chemotherapy and cerebrovascular disease(Zerbinis Medical Publ, 2008) Saynak, M.; Cosar-Alas, R.; Yurut-Caloglu, V.; Caloglu, M.; Kocak, Z.; Uzal, C.Cerebrovascular disease is common in cancer patients. Some tumors are at high risk for cerebrovascular complications. The development of cerebrovascular disease may be provoked by cancer treatment. No well-planned prospective studies about other causes of thrombosis are available, although various case reports about thrombosis related to chemotherapy have been published. L-asparaginase, cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and methotrexate are anticancer agents which are reported to relate to stroke. The mechanisms by which antineoplastic agents may lead to stroke include endothelium toxicity and abnormalities of coagulation factors. Also, brain hemorrhages that could result from chemotherapy effects on the hemostatic system were reported. Besides, it is difficult to determine whether stroke is caused by chemotherapy or cancer itself Clinicians deal not only with problems originating from cancer itself but also with the complications resulting from its treatment. Treatment-induced cerebrovascular disorders affect quality of life and survival in cancer patients. For this reason, cancer treatment should be planned by taking into consideration the possibility of cerebrovascular complications.Öğe Prognostic factors for renal cell carcinoma: Trakya University experience from Turkey(Wiley, 2010) Yurut-Caloglu, V.; Caloglu, M.; Kaplan, M.; Oz-Puyan, F.; Karagol, H.; Ibis, K.; Cosar-Alas, R.The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the prognostic factors of patients with renal cell carcinoma. The treatment results such as distant metastasis-free survival and overall survival of 59 previously untreated patients were retrospectively analysed. Median follow-up was 17.5 months (3.8-88.5 months). Overall survival was 22.4 months (3-87 months). Distant metastasis developed in 35 (59%) patients. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (P = 0.022), tumour size (P = 0.025) and lymphatic invasion (P < 0.0001) were significantly effective prognostic factors for distant metastasis-free survival on multivariate analysis. Related to overall survival, gender (P = 0.025), ECOG performance status (P = 0.027), nuclear grade (P = 0.002), tumour size (P = 0.029), T stage (P = 0.044), nodal involvement (P = 0.003), surgical margin (P = 0.046), renal sinus invasion (P < 0.0001), perineural growth (P = 0.001) and lymphatic invasion (P < 0.0001) were significant prognostic factors on univariate analysis. Gender (P = 0.008), ECOG performance status (P = 0.027), tumour size (P = 0.025) and lymphatic invasion (P < 0.0001) retained their significance on multivariate analysis. We concluded that the most important prognostic factors for patients with renal cell carcinomas are ECOG performance status, tumour size and lymphatic invasion.Öğe The radioprotective effect of dimethyl sulfoxide in radiation induced acute pulmonary injury: detection by Tc99m-DTPA transalveolar clearance scintigraphy and histopathology(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009) Denizli, B.; Cosar-Alas, R.; Durmus-Altun, G.; Can, U.; Aktas, C.; Kanter, M.; Parlar, S.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Sudden death: A case report of hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombus extending into the right atrium(Zerbinis Medical Publ, 2007) Saynak, M.; Ozen, A.; Kocak, Z.; Cosar-Alas, R.; Uzal, C.[Abstract Not Available]
