Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 4Early Detection of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema: Accuracy of Indocyanine Green Lymphography Compared With Bioimpedance Spectroscopy and Subclinical Lymphedema Symptoms(Mary Ann Liebert, 2023) Soran, Atilla; Bengur, Fuat Barış; Rodriguez, Wendy; Chroneos, Maria Z.; Sezgin, EfeIntroduction: The reported incidences of breast cancer-related lymphedema (LE) affecting the arms vary greatly. Reason for this variability includes different diagnostic techniques used across studies. In the current study, we compared the accuracy of indocyanine green lymphography (ICG_L) and bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) in detecting LE before presentation of clinical signs.Methods and Results: Patients with no initial detectable signs of clinical LE of their arms after axillary lymph node dissection or removal of >5 lymph nodes on sentinel lymph node biopsy were included. Subclinical LE was defined as BIS values outside the normal range [(>= 7 units (or >10 units)] or a 7-unit (or 10 unit) change between two measurements. We tracked ICG_L and BIS measurements for 133 potentially affected arms (n = 123). ICG_L detected signs of lymphatic flow disruption in 63 arms (47%). Based on the BIS value of 7 units, 60 arms (45%) had values outside the normal range. When using ICG_L-identified LE cases as true positives, BIS had a 54% accuracy (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.54) in detecting LE. Accuracy was 61% for subclinical LE symptoms when compared with ICG_L (AUC = 0.62). Both BIS and subclinical LE symptoms had <0.70 AUC-receiver characteristic operator curve, suggesting that BIS and development of subclinical LE symptoms are not adequate for identifying patients with subclinical LE.Conclusion: ICG_L is a reliable diagnostic tool for detecting early signs of lymphatic flow disruption in subclinical LE. Utilizing ICG_L to diagnose subclinical LE followed by a personalized treatment plan may provide patients the best chance of preventing disease progression.Erratum Correction: Intervention for Hepatic and Pulmonary Metastases in Breast Cancer Patients: Prospective, Multi-Institutional Registry Study–imet, Protocol Mf 14-02(Springer, 2023) Soran, Atilla; Özbaş, Serdar; Özçınar, Beyza; Işık, Arda; Doğan, Lütfi; Şenol, Kazım; Sezgin, EfeThe authors‘ given names are correct as reflected here. © Society of Surgical Oncology 2022.Article Citation - WoS: 1Aso Visual Abstract: Intervention for Hepatic and Pulmonary Metastases in Breast Cancer Patients-Prospective, Multi-Institutional Registry Study: Imet; Protocol Mf 14-02(Springer, 2022) Soran, Atilla; Özbaş, Serdar; Özçınar, Beyza; Işık, Arda; Doğan, L.; Şenol, Kazım; Dağ, Ahmet; Karanlık, Hasan; Aytaç, Özgür; Karadeniz Çakmak, Güldeniz; Dalcı, Kubilay; Doğan, Mutlu; Sezer, Atakan Y.; Gökgöz, Şehsuvar; Özyar, Enis; Sezgin, EfeThe aim of our prospective, multicenter registry study was to investigate the importance of interventions for operable lung and/or liver metastasis for breast cancer (BC) survival (https://doi.org/10.1245/s10434-022-12239-z). The results reveal that surgical resection or ablative interventions may contribute to survival in patients with BC with limited number and operable metachronous hepatic/pulmonary metastases. Ultimately, randomized studies will determine whether intervention on lung and liver metastatic sites should be performed. In the meantime, such interventions can be considered on select patients.Conference Object Intervention To Hepatic and Pulmonary Metastases in Breast Cancer Patients: Prospective, Multi-Institutional Registry Study-Imet; Protocol Mf 14-02(Springer, 2022) Soran, Atilla; Özbaş, Serdar; Özçınar, Beyza; Işık, Arda; Doğan, Lütfi; Şenol, Kazım; Dağ, Ahmet; Karanlık, Hasan; Aytaç, Özgür; Karadeniz Çakmak, Güldeniz; Dalcı, Kubilay; Doğan, Mutlu; Sezer, Atakan Y.; Gökgöz, Şehsuvar; Özyar, Enis; Sezgin, EfeBackground/Objective: One‐fourth of early‐stage breast cancer (BC) becomes metastatic at follow‐up. Limited metastases represents a clinical state of metastatic disease that is limited in the number of metastatic sites and extent of disease, and amenable to metastasis‐directed intervention. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate intervention to limited metastases in lung and/or liver.Conference Object Survival Impact of Intervention To Distant Metastatic Lesions in Patients With Breast Cancer(Springer, 2022) Abidi, Hira; Ayoade, Oluwaseun; McAuliffe, Priscilla; Johnson, Ronald; Lee, Joanna; Keenan, Donald; Steiman, Jennifer; Sezgin, Efe; Soran, AtillaINTRODUCTION: Approximately 25% of patients (pts) with stage I - III breast cancer (BC) develop distant metastatic disease, a significant cause of mortality. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether intervention to metastatic lesions, in pts initially presenting with stage I–III BC, impacts overall survival (OS) and post-distant recurrence survival (PDRS). METHODS: This is a singleinstitution retrospective study of 201 pts with stage I–III BC, who subsequently develop metastatic lesions to the liver, lung, and/or bone, from 2006-2016. The cohorts included pts receiving intervention to their metastases (IM, n=100) versus no intervention to their metastases (NI, n=101). Two pts in the IM group were lost to follow up and excluded from the survival analysis. The primary study outcomes are OS and PDRS. The characteristics of the pts were compared with X2 test. OS curves were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable analysis by Cox regression. Statistical significance was set at p< 0.05.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Intervention for Hepatic and Pulmonary Metastases in Breast Cancer Patients: Prospective, Multi-Institutional Registry Study-Imet, Protocol Mf 14-02(Springer, 2022) Soran, Atilla; Özbaş, Serdar; Özçınar, Beyza; Işık, Arda; Doğan, Lütfi; Şenol, Kazım; Dağ, Ahmet; Karanlık, Hasan; Aytaç, Özgür; Karadeniz Çakmak, Güldeniz; Dalcı, Kubilay; Doğan, Mutlu; Sezer, Atakan Y.; Gökgöz, Şehsuvar; Özyar, Enis; Sezgin, EfeBackground: One fourth of early-stage breast cancer cases become metastatic during the follow-up period. Limited metastasis is a metastatic disease condition in which the number of metastatic sites and the extent of the disease both are limited, and the disease is amenable to metastatic intervention. This prospective study aimed to evaluate intervention for limited metastases in the lung, liver, or both. Methods: The study enrolled luminal A/B and/or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-neu+ patients with operable lung and/or liver metastases in the follow-up assessment after completion of primary breast cancer treatment and patients with a diagnosis of metastasis after 2014. Demographic, clinical, tumor-specific, and metastasis detection-free interval (MDFI) data were collected. Bone metastasis in addition to lung and liver metastases also was included in the analysis. The patients were divided into two groups according to the method of treatment for metastases: systemic therapy alone (ST) group or intervention (IT) group.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Importance of Multigene Panel Test in Patients With Consanguineous Marriage and Family History of Breast Cancer(Spandidos Publications, 2022) Özmen, Vahit; Çağlayan, Ahmet Okay; Yararbaş, Kanay; Ordu, Çetin; Aktepe, Fatma; Özmen, Tolga; Sezgin, EfeNext-generation sequencing (NGS) technology is used to evaluate hereditary cancer risks of patients worldwide; however, information concerning the germline multigene mutational spectrum among patients with breast cancer (BC) with consanguineous marriage (CM) is limited. Therefore, this prospective study aimed to determine the molecular characteristics of patients with BC who were tested with multigene hereditary cancer predisposition NGS panel and to show the effect of CM on cancer-related genes. Patients with BC with or without CM and family history (FH) of BC treated in our breast center were selected according to The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) criteria for hereditary BC. In these patients, the analysis of a panel of 33 genes involved in hereditary cancer predisposition was performed after genetic counseling by using NGS. The pathogenic variant (PV) and the variant of uncertain significance (VUS) were found to be 15.8 and 47.4%, respectively. PVs were identified in 10/33 genes in 34 patients; 38.2% in BRCA1/2 genes; 6, 24, and 14% in other high, moderate and low-risk genes, respectively. The CM rate was 17.7% among the 215 patients with BC. The PV rate was 13.2% in patients with CM and 16.4% in patients without CM (P=0.80). When PV and VUS were evaluated together, the PV+VUS ratio was significantly higher in patients with CM and FH of BC than patients without CM and FH of BC (88.2 vs. 63.3%, P=0.045). Analysis of multigene panel provided 9.76% additional PVs in moderate/low-risk genes. The PV rate was similar in patients with BC with or without CM. A high PV+VUS ratio in patients with CM and FH of BC suggests that genes whose importance are unknown are likely to be pathogenic genes later.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 32Lymphedema After Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: Who Is at Risk?(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2021) Işık, Arda; Soran, Atilla; Grasi, Ariel; Barry, Noran; Sezgin, EfeAim: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the accepted approach to stage the clinically negative axilla. The incidence of lymphedema (LE) after SLNB is about 5%. We hypothesize that patients undergoing axillary excision of >5 lymph nodes (LNs) are at increased risk of developing LE. Methods and Results: A single institution prospective breast cancer database was retrospectively reviewed from January 2013 to December 2017, to identify patients who underwent SLNB and were diagnosed with LE. Inclusion criteria was (1) de novo breast cancer, (2) SLNB in clinically node negative patients, and (3) no preoperative diagnosis LE of an extremity. Exclusion criteria was history of axillary lymph node dissection. Age, body mass index, tumor-node-metastasis status, surgery type, neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy were analyzed. Of the 3325 patients identified, 2940 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Median follow-up time was 24 months. Forty-seven (2%) patients were diagnosed with LE, and nine patients (19%) had >5 LNs excised. LE was diagnosed in 3.7% of patients who had >5 LNs excised versus 1.4% of patients with <= 5 LNs excised. Incidence of LE was higher in patients with >5 LNs excision (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Our study showed that patients have a higher likelihood of developing LE when >5 LNs are excised.Conference Object Does Locoregional Treatment in De Novo Stage Iv Bone-Only Metastatic Breast Cancer Prolong Survival? an Ongoing Multicenter Registry Study(Elsevier, 2019) Soran, Atilla; Işık, Arda; Doğan, Lütfi; Sezgin, Efe; Özbaş, SerdarSurgical treatment of primary tumor is a controversial treatment of stage IV de novo metastatic breast cancer (BC). This study aims to present early results of the ongoing reg istry in a cohort of patients.Article Citation - WoS: 63Citation - Scopus: 63The Effect of Primary Surgery in Patients With De Novo Stage Iv Breast Cancer With Bone Metastasis Only (protocol Bomet Mf 14-01): a Multi-Center, Prospective Registry Study(Springer, 2021) Soran, Atilla; Doğan, Lütfi; Işık, Arda; Özbaş, Serdar; Trabulus, Didem Can; Demirci, Umut; Sezgin, EfeBackground More evidence shows that primary surgery for de novo metastatic breast cancer (BC) prolongs overall survival (OS) in selected cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of locoregional treatment (LRT) in BC patients with de novo stage IV bone only metastasis (BOM). Methods The prospective, multicenter registry study BOMET MF14-01 was initiated in May 2014. Patients with de novo stage IV BOM BC were divided into two groups: those receiving systemic treatment (ST group) and those receiving LRT (LRT group). Patients who received LRT were further divided into two groups: ST after LRT (LRT + ST group) and ST before LRT (ST + LRT group). Results We included 505 patients in this study; 240 (47.5%) patients in the ST group and 265 (52.5%) in the LRT group. One hundred and thirteen patients (26.3%) died in the 34-month median follow-up, 85 (35.4%) in the ST group and 28 (10.5%) in LRT group. Local progression was observed in 39 (16.2%) of the patients in the ST group and 18 (6.7%) in the LRT group (p = 0.001). Hazard of death was 60% lower in the LRT group compared with the ST group (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.30-0.54, p < 0.0001). Conclusion In this prospectively maintained registry study, we found that LRT prolonged survival and decreased locoregional recurrence in the median 3-year follow-up. Timing of primary breast surgery either at diagnosis or after ST provided a survival benefit similar to ST alone in de novo stage IV BOM BC patients.
