Öğe Factors affecting the mortality rate of patients with cancer hospitalized with COVID-19: a single center's experience(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Ayhan, Murat; Odabas, Hatice; Turan, Nedim; Ozyukseler, Deniz Tataroglu; Kostek, Osman; Alkan, Gulin; Abamor, EvrimThe main objective is to define the mortality of patients with cancer admitted to our hospital, their clinical and demographic characteristics, investigate the risk of COVID-19 for patients with cancer, and determine factors that affect the mortality rates of patients with cancer dying of COVID-19. A total of 2401 patients were admitted to our hospital with the diagnosis of COVID-19 from March 11th, 2020, to May 31st, 2020. Ninety-two out of a total of 112 cancer patients were included in this study based on the planned inclusion/exclusion criteria. The clinical, demographic, and laboratory features and treatments provided were studied, and their effect on mortality rates was analyzed. In our study the median age of the patients was 67 years, and 55.4% were male. More than half (56.5%) of our patients had metastasis. The mortality rate was 6.2% in the overall population with COVID-19, whereas it was 23.9% in patients with cancer. The mortality rate in patients with metastasis was statistically significantly higher compared with those without metastasis (34.0% vs. 10.3% P = 0.008). The mortality rate in patients still smoking was statistically significantly higher than in non-smokers (37.5% vs. 12.5% P = 0.033). The mortality rates of patients with high average C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and D-dimer levels were statistically significantly higher than in those without, and the mortality rates of patients with lower average albumin and hemoglobin levels were statistically significantly higher than those without (P < 0.001, P = 0.006, P = 0.041, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P = 0.028, respectively). Having metastases concurrent with COVID-19 was a statistically significant factor predictive of prognosis. Also, high CRP, ferritin, LDH, and D-dimer, and low albumin and hemoglobin were related to increased mortality rates. The predictive and prognostic role of possible factors related to prognosis is still unknown and further large, multicenter prospective studies are needed to confirm these results.Öğe Impact of adjuvant treatment modalities on survival outcomes in curatively resected pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinoma(Chinese Journal Cancer Research Co, 2015) Turan, Nedim; Benekli, Mustafa; Unal, Olcun Umit; Unek, Ilkay Tugba; Tastekin, Didem; Dane, Faysal; Algin, EfnanBackground: We examined the impact of adjuvant modalities on resected pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinoma (PAC). Methods: A total of 563 patients who were curatively resected for PAC were retrospectively analyzed between 2003 and 2013. Results: Of 563 patients, 472 received adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) alone, chemoradiotherapy (CRT) alone, and chemoradiotherapy plus chemotherapy (CRT-CT) were analyzed. Of the 472 patients, 231 were given CRT-CT, 26 were given CRT, and 215 were given CT. The median recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were 12 and 19 months, respectively. When CT and CRT-CT groups were compared, there was no significant difference with respect to both RFS and OS, and also there was no difference in RFS and OS among CRT-CT, CT and CRT groups. To further investigate the impact of radiation on subgroups, patients were stratified according to lymph node status and resection margins. In node-positive patients, both RFS and OS were significantly longer in CRT-CT than CT. In contrast, there was no significant difference between groups when patients with node-negative disease or patients with or without positive surgical margins were considered. Conclusions: Addition of radiation to CT has a survival benefit in patients with node-positive disease following pancreatic resection.Öğe The prognostic value of lymph node ratio in patients with curatively resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma.(Amer Soc Clinical Oncology, 2015) Turan, Nedim; Araz, Murat; Algin, Efnan; Unal, Olcun Umit; Benekli, Mustafa; Tastekin, Didem; Dane, Faysal[Abstract Not Available]
