    ANTIEMETIC EFFICACY OF DIAZEPAM IN THE PROPHYLAXIS OF ACUTE AND DELAYED EMESIS INDUCED BY CISPLATIN BASED CHEMOTHERAPY TREATED WITH STANDARD ANTI EMETICS
    (Kare Publ, 2005) Saip, Pinar; Onat, Haluk; Uygun, Kazim; Demir, Cumhur; Salepci, Taflan; Guney, Nese; Basaran, Mert
    This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of diazepam in managing acute and delayed emesis induced by cisplatin-based chemotherapy. A total of 92 cancer patients who were receiving 60-75 mg/m(2) cisplatin based chemotherapy were treated with granisetron 3 mg/IV plus dexamethasone 16 mg/IV on the first day of the chemotherapy Forty three of these patients also treated with diazepam 5 mg/PO 10-12 and 1 hours before the chemotherapy and 42 of these patients did not received any diazepam prophylaxis. Categorical scales were utilised to document the incidence of vomiting, nausea and loss of appetite. Among the 85 evaluable patients there was no statistically significant difference between the treatment arms in terms of acute and delayed emesis. But more patients achieved acute complete control of vomiting (79% vs 64%) and defined their quality of life as very good and good (70% vs 52%) in the diazepam arm. The protection obtained at the first day significantly influenced the protection during the subsequent days irrespective of the treatment arms. Diazepam does not increase the efficacy of antiemetic treatment but the increase in the patients well being and complete control acute vomiting suggest that it could be added to the standard antiemetic protocols.

    Yolk sac tumours of the ovary: Evaluation of clinicopathological features and prognostic factors
    (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2009) Cicin, Irfan; Saip, Pinar; Guney, Nese; Eralp, Yesim; Ayan, Inci; Kebudi, Rejin; Topuz, Erkan
    Objective: To evaluate the clinicopathological prognostic features, factors and outcomes of chemotherapy in ovarian yolk sac tumours (YST). Study design: We reviewed the medical records of 32 women with ovarian YST treated from 1990 to 2006 at two centres. Results: The median follow-up was 36 months. The median age was 22 (range, 9-68). Two patients were postmenopausal. The most common symptoms at diagnosis included abdominal swelling or mass (72%) and abdominopelvic pain (62%). The location of the tumour was bilateral in 2 cases. Eight patients were in stage I, 4 patients in stage II, 17 patients in stage III, and 3 patients in stage IV. Eighteen patients underwent unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, two bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and two cystectomy, while 10 patients had total abdominal hysterectomy and two bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Of 32 patients who received postoperative chemotherapy, 27 were treated with a bleomycin/etoposide/cisplatin (BEP) regimen. Seventy-two percent of patients were alive at the last follow-up visit. Ten (31%) patients suffered from a recurrence of the disease with a median time to recurrence of 8 months (range, 6-28 months). The most common site of recurrence was the intra-abdominal space, with 8 patients. Only one patient who had recurrence could be salvaged. Fertility-sparing surgery was found at least as effective as radical surgery. While age, histology (mixed vs. pure), stage, tumour size, ascites, and marker levels were not found as prognostic factors, the presence of residual tumour (P = 0.014) and BEP chemotherapy (P = 0.016) were significant prognostic factors in univariate analysis. Conclusions: In patients with ovarian YST, fertility-sparing surgery is as effective as radical surgery. Optimal cytoreductive surgery and standard BEP regimen are the most decisive prognostic factors. In these tumours, adjunctive therapeutic modalities to eradicate intra-abdominal disease and effective salvage therapy strategies are needed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
