    Effectiveness and safety of cabazitaxel chemotherapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostatic carcinoma on Turkish patients (The Anatolian Society of Medical Oncology)
    (Verduci Publisher, 2016) Suner, A.; Aydin, D.; Hacioglu, M. B.; Dogu, G. G.; Imamoglu, G. I.; Menekse, S.; Pilanci, K. N.
    OBJECTIVE: Prostate cancer is among the most common cancers in males. Prostate cancer is androgen dependent in the beginning, but as time progresses, it becomes refractory to androgen deprivation treatment. At this stage, docetaxel has been used as standard treatment for years. Cabazitaxel has become the first chemotherapeutic agent which has been shown to increase survival for patients with metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) that progresses after docetaxel. Phase 3 TROPIC study demonstrated that cabazitaxel prolongs survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this study, we evaluated a total of 103 patients who took cabazitaxel chemotherapy for mCRPC diagnosis in 21 centers of Turkey, retrospectively. This study included patients who progressed despite docetaxel treatments, had ECOG performance score between 0-2, and used cabazitaxel treatment. Patients received cabazitaxel 25 mg/m(2) at every 3 weeks, and prednisolone 5 mg twice a day. RESULTS: Median number of cabazitaxel cures was 5.03 (range: 1-17). Cabazitaxel response evaluation detected that 34% of the patients had a partial response, 22.3% had stable disease and 32% had a progressive disease. Grade 3-4 hematological toxicities were neutropenia (28.2%), neutropenic fever (14.5%), anemia (6.7%), and thrombocytopenia (3.8%). In our study, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.7 months and overall survival (OS) was 10.6 months. CONCLUSIONS: This study reflects toxicity profile of Turkish patients as a Caucasian race. We suggest that cabazitaxel is a safe and effective treatment option for mCRPC patients who progress after docetaxel. Moreover, ethnicity may play important roles both in treatment response and in toxicity profile.

    Prognostic nutritional index is an independent prognostic factor for treatment response, survival and drug choice in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide
    (Elsevier Espana, 2022) Kucukarda, A.; Gokyer, A.; Gokmen, I; Ozcan, E.; Hacioglu, M. B.; Erdogan, B.; Uzunoglu, S.
    Purpose: We designed this study to identify the prognostic value of baseline prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients treated with abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide. Methods: One hundred one mCRPC patients were included. PNI was calculated using formula 10 x serum albumin value (g/dl) + .005 x total lymphocyte count (per mm(3)). ROC analysis was used for determining prognostic PNI value. Results: The statistically significant cut-off value for PNI was 46.62. Initial PSA response and PSA kinetics (early PSA response and 30-50%-90% PSA response at any time) were much better in PNI>46.62 group than the PNI <= 46.62 group (P<.01). In multivariate analysis, baseline PNI level >46.62 was an independent predictor of PSA-PFS (HR: .42; P<.01), radiologic PFS (HR: .53; P<.01), and OS (HR: .42; P<.01). In the PNI <= 46.62 group, median OS was 7.4 months (95% CI: 4.1-10.7) for the abiraterone acetate subgroup vs. 17.6 months (95% CI: 10.1-25.1) for enzalutamide subgroups (P<.01). Conclusion: PNI is a useful, independent prognostic marker for mCRPC patients treated with either abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide. Using pre-treatment PNI may help clinicians in the prediction of survival and decision making based on abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide. (C) 2021 AEU. Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U.

    Relation between sarcopenia and dose-limiting toxicity in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who received regorafenib
    (Springer Int Publ Ag, 2019) Gokyer, A.; Kucukarda, A.; Kostek, O.; Hacioglu, M. B.; Sunal, B. S.; Demircan, N. C.; Uzunoglu, S.
    BackgroundSarcopenia is related to poor prognosis and drug toxicities in solid tumors. The aim of our study is to investigate the predisposition of patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma who started regorafenib treatment to sarcopenia and prolonged survival.MethodsPatients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma who receives regorafenib were search retrospectively. Dose-limiting toxicity was defined as dose reduction or toxicity requiring drug withdrawal. Sarcopenia evaluation was made with computed tomography performed within a month before treatment. Progression-free survival and overall survival were estimated.ResultsThirty-six patients were found as suitable for the study. 63.9% of patients were found as basally sarcopenic. Dose-limiting toxicity occured 13 of 23 patients (56.5%) with basal sarcopenia, whereas only 1 of 13 patients (7.6%) with no sarcopenia exhibited dose-limiting toxicity (p=0.005). Three patients suffered from grade 3-4 toxicity. Hand-foot syndrome, hypertension, and mucosal rash were the most seen side effects. Mean regorafenib treatment duration was 3.36 months. There was no significant difference in the progression-free survival (PFS) and the overall survival (OS) between sarcopenic patients and patients with no sarcopenia. Durations were as OS 24.2 weeks in patients with sarcopenia (95% CI 16.7-31.7), 28.1 weeks in patients with no sarcopenia (95% CI 20.5-35.7) (p=0.36), and as PFS 14.2 weeks in patients with sarcopenia (95% CI 12.1-16.4), 14.8 weeks in patients with no sarcopenia (95% CI 9.7-20.1) (p=0.65).ConclusionDose-limiting toxicity was significantly higher in basally sarcopenic patients who were started regorafenib as treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma. There was no significant relationship between overall survival and progression-free survival with sarcopenia.

    Skeletal muscle loss during anti-EGFR combined chemotherapy regimens predicts poor prognosis in patients with RAS wild metastatic colorectal cancer
    (Springer International Publishing Ag, 2019) Kostek, O.; Demircan, N. C.; Gokyer, A.; Kucukarda, A.; Sunal, B. S.; Hacioglu, M. B.; Eslame, H.
    PurposeWe aimed to assess whether anti-EGFR combined chemotherapy regimens are related with loss of skeletal muscle mass and to compare cetuximab and panitumumab therapies in the aspect of skeletal muscle area change as well as to assess whether skeletal muscle mass loss has prognostic significance in the RAS wild mCRC patients.Materials and methodsA total of 56 patients (30 patients in cetuximab arm and 26 patients in panitumumab) who had computed tomography images were retrospectively evaluated at the diagnosis and follow up during the treatment period before progression.ResultsDuring treatment period 24 patients (42.8%) had muscle loss. Of these, 7 (29.2%) patients were treated at first-line and 17 (70.8%) patients were treated at second-line setting. There was no significant difference in the aspect of skeletal muscle loss among cetuximab and panitumumab combined treatment regimens. Median PFS was 9.1 (8.6-9.6) months in muscle loss group and 13.9 (7.2-20.6) months in muscle stable group (p = 0.001). Median OS was 23.4 (95% CI 15.8-31.0) months in muscle stable group and 19.1 (95% CI 17.0-21.3) months in muscle loss group (p = 0.57) at first-line setting. For second-line, median OS was 21.2 (14.7-27.7) months in muscle stable group and 14.4 (6.0-22.4) months in muscle loss group (p = 0.003).ConclusionsDecrease in skeletal muscle mass before progression on CT imaging is an independent indicator for shorter PFS value in RAS WT mCRC patients who received anti-EGFR combined chemotherapy regimens at both the first and second-line settings. Beside that shorter overall survival values also were significantly seen in patients who had muscle loss during anti-EGFR therapy in the second-line setting.
