    Is Routine Histopathological Gallbladder Examination Necessary After Cholecystectomy? Evaluation of the Results of 1366 Cholecystectomy Specimens in Single Center
    (Düzce Üniversitesi, 2017) Uysal, Erdal; Sezgin, Efe; Bakır, Hasan; Gürer, Ahmet; Sökücü, Mehmet
    Objective: It was aimed to evaluate the results of routine histopathological examination after cholecystectomy and to investigate the necessity of routine histopathologic examination after cholecystectomy. Methods: The study was designed retrospectively. One thousand three hundred sixty six patients who underwent laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy at Private Sani Konukoglu Hospital with pre-diagnosis of benign gallbladder disease between November 2011 and May 2017 were included in the study. Patients' demographic data, pathologic results, macroscopic appearance of the specimen, and cancer staging were recorded. The distribution and frequency of pathologic diagnoses and the prevalence of incidental gallbladder cancer (GBC) were evaluated. Pathologic findings were compared in terms of age groups and gender relations. Results: The number of patients included in the study was 1366. Diagnosed with chronic cholecystitis patients were 1,303 (95%), 39 (3%) with acute cholecystitis, 7 (0.5%) with gallbladder cancer, and 17 (1.5%) with other diagnoses of the patients. Statistical significance was found between the groups in terms of the mean age (p = 0.0002). Comparisons between groups in terms of cholesterolysis were statistically significant (p = 0.0003). There was a significant relationship between mucosa atrophy and gender (p = 0.001). Conclusions: The histopathological spectrum of gallbladder is quite extensive. Incidental GBC may not be detected by preoperative imaging methods. Incidental GBC are usually asymptomatic. T2, T3 and T4 GBC were also encountered in our study. All of these patients need additional operations. In the absence of routine histopathologic examination, metastatic advanced GBC may be encountered because no treatment plans could make. Thus, we do recommend routine histopathological examination.

    Evaluation of Hemocytometer Parameters as Potential Biomarkers in Benign Multinodular Goiter and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
    (Kowsar Publishing Company, 2017) Uysal, Erdal; Ceylan, Seyit Mehmet; Sezgin, Efe; Bakir, Hasan; Gurer, Ahmet Orhan; Aksoy, Basar; Bastemir, Mehmet
    Background: Hemocytometer parameters can be important biomarkers for some types of cancers and diseases. There is a need to evaluate their biomarker potential in thyroid diseases. Objectives: The current study aimed at contributing to potential biomarker researches to diagnose papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and benign multinodular goiter (BMG), evaluate the role of these markers to determine the PTC characteristics and contribute to clarification of controversial issues. Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective observational study. The study included 389 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy at private Sani Konukoglu hospital (Sanko University, School of Medicine, Gaziantep, Turkey) due to BMG or PTC diagnosis from November 2011 to May 2017. The study subjects were divided into 3 groups. Groups 1, 2, and 3 were subjects with BMG, PTC, and the control, respectively. The comparisons were made among the groups in terms of hemocytometer parameters. In the group with the thyroid papillary carcinoma diagnosis, the relationship between the hemocytometer parameters and the bilateral tumor presence, single-sided multicentrite, and tumor diameter (size) were investigated. Results: Red cell distribution width (RDW) levels were 15.50 +/- 2.39, 15.68 +/- 2.16, and 12.5 +/- 1.51 in the BMG, PTC, and control groups, respectively. Mean platelet volumes (MPV) were 7.97 +/- 1.19, 8.05 +/- 1.20, and 7.23 +/- 1.39 in the BMG, PTC, and control groups, respectively. MPV and RDW values were significantly lower in group 3 compared with the groups 1 and 2 (P < 0.0001). Plateletcrit (PCT) values were 0.22 +/- 0.05, 0.23 +/- 0.06, and 0.19 +/- 0.05 in the BMG, PTC, and control groups, respectively. PCT was significantly lower in the group 3 compared with the groups 1 and 2 (P = 0.0001). In PTC group, no significant relationship was observed between any of the examined hematological parameters in terms of multicentric and bilateral tumor presence. Conclusions: RDW, MPV, haemoglobin content, and PCT were significantly higher in the BMG and PTC groups. This increase was not specific for either of the 2 groups. No significant difference was found between any of the hemocytometer parameters and the multicentricity and bilaterality of PTC. But, a possible correlation was observed between activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), hemoglobin content, and tumor size.

    The Correlation of Magee Equationstm and Oncotype Dx® Recurrence Score From Core Needle Biopsy Tissues in Predicting Response To Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Er+ and Her2- Breast Cancer
    (Galenos Publishing House, 2020) Soran,A.; Tane,K.; Sezgin,E.; Bhargava,R.
    Objective: Oncotype DX® recurrence score (RS) can be predicted from Magee EquationsTM (MS) postoperatively. The aim of this study is to investigate correlation of MS with RS from pretreatment core needle biopsy (CNB) tissues, and their clinical usefulness in prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in estrogen receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancer (BC). Materials and Methods: Pretreatment CNB tissue samples from 60 patients with ER+/HER2- invasive BC were analyzed for MS and RS correlation. MS and RS were categorized as follows: low (<18), intermediate (18–30), and high (≥ 31). Percentage Tumor size Reduction (%TR) was used to assess tumor response to NCT, and substantial %TR was defined as at least 50% reduction (≥50%TR). Correlation between MS and RS, and predictive factors for the ≥50%TR achievement were assessed. Results: MS and RS represented a strong correlation (Spearman's correlation; r=0.58, p<0.0001) as a continuous variable. As a categorical variable, the concordance between MS and RS was 43.3%, and it increased to 80% (r=0.61, p=0.003) with the exclusion of the intermediate risk categories. Although, there was pathologic complete response (pCR), MS showed the highest predictive power for the ≥50% TR achievement, none of the factors were statistically significant (p≥0.07). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that there was a strong correlation between MS and RS from pretreatment biopsy tissue samples in ER+ and HER2- invasive BC. © 2020 by the Author(s).
