    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate depression and sleep quality in Turkish women receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer and investigate their relationship.
    Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study included 183 patients who received chemotherapy for non-metastatic breast cancer. Data were collected using the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and a disease-related/sociodemographic information form.
    Results: The mean age of the participants was 50.2 years, and 50.3% were in menopause. The mean Beck Depression Inventory-II score was 19.64±10.4. Mild depression was detected in 25.7% (n=47) of the women, and moderate or severe depression in 55.2% (n=101). The mean global score of sleep quality was found to be 8.28±2.62, and the majority of the participants (79.7%, n=146) had poor sleep quality. There was a positive correlation (p<0.001, r=0.43) between depression and sleep quality scores. While a negative correlation was found between depression scores and age (p<0.001, r=0.26), the surgical procedure performed did not significantly affect depression scores (p=0.705). Additionally, depression scores were positively correlated with sleep duration (p<0.001, r=0.42) and sleep latency (p=0.01, r=0.48).
    Conclusion: Very high rates of depression and poor sleep quality were detected among Turkish women receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. The entire healthcare team involved in the treatment process should take this relationship into consideration and use the necessary preventive and therapeutic methods.

    Abstract Objective: The study aims to investigate the estrogen-agonistic effects of tamoxifen on voice parameters in premenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer.
    Methods: A total of 108 premenopausal women were included, segmented into distinct treatment groups and a control group. Objective sound analysis was conducted using robust statistical methods, employing SPSS 25.0 for data analysis.
    Results: The study identified a statistically significant reduction in Jitter values across all treatment groups compared to the control group. No significant changes were observed in other voice quality parameters such as F0, Shimmer, NHR, and HNR.
    Conclusions: The findings suggest that tamoxifen may have an estrogen-agonistic effect on voice quality, thereby potentially influencing future treatment protocols. This research fills a critical void in existing literature and sets the stage for more comprehensive studies that consider affects of hormonal therapies to voice.

    Abstract Background: To evaluate the relationship of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) with the derived neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
    Methods: The study included 43 patients with EGFR-mutant metastatic NSCLC. The dNLR, NLR, LMR, and PLR values were calculated using the baseline complete blood counts before and after treatment with erlotinib.
    Results: The NLR value had the best diagnostic test performance with a sensitivity of 91.3%. dNLR, NLR, LMR, and PLR were found to be significant for the prediction of OS and PFS. While the delta dNLR and NLR values were significant for OS, only the delta NLR value was significant for PFS.
    Conclusions: The dNLR, NLR, LMR, and PLR values were found to be significant in the prediction of OS and PFS in erlotinib-treated metastatic NSCLC. Further clinical studies are needed to determine the ideal target-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor in cases of metastatic NSCLC presenting with the EGFR-activating mutation.

    Abstract Objective: Response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is predictive for survival times in some patients with breast cancer (BC). The aim of this study is to explore the predictive value of some inflammatory markers including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), monocyte-to-high density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in cases with BC treated with NAC.
    Materials and methods: One hundred and ten patients with BC treated with NAC were included in the study. Measurements for NLR, dNLR, MHR and PNI were calculated with available formulas. The value of NLR, dNLR, MHR and PNI in predicting pCR to NAC in BC was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. All analyses were performed using the SPSS statistical software package (SPSS statistics 21.0).
    Results: Mean NLR values were 2.2±0.8 vs. 2.6±1.3 for pCR (+) and pCR (-) groups (p=0.603). Mean dNLR values were 1.5±0.5 vs. 1.9±0.8 for pCR (+) and pCR (-) groups, respectively and this was statistically significant (p=0.022). Mean MHR values were 15.4±17.2 vs. 13.2±10.1 for pCR (+) and pCR (-) groups (p=0.406). Mean PNI values were 52±5.1 vs. 49±5.8 for pCR (+) and pCR (-) groups, and this was statistically significant (p=0.015). In multiple logistic regression analysis PNI was found to be independent factor for pCR.
    Conclusion: In this study pre-treatment dNLR and PNI were found to be predictive for pCR while NLR and MHR were not found to be associated with pCR. PNI and dNLR are simple but useful biomarkers predicting response to NAC.

    Abstract Objective: It is known that chronic inflammation plays an important role in the etiopathogenesis of biliary tract carcinoma (BTC). In this study, we wanted to examine the effect of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) on survival in advanced BTC treated with gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GEMCIS) regimen.
    Methods: Forty-two patients with advanced BTC treated with GEMCIS regimen were included in the study. Measurements for NLR, dNLR and PNI were calculated with available formulas. NLR, dNLR, and PNI values were dichotomized based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (cut-off values 3.94, 2.66, and 46, respectively). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors for 6-month progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) using a Cox proportional hazards model.
    Results: The mean PFS was 5.3 (median 5) months, and the mean OS was 10.7 (median 11) months. The pre-treatment increased NLR (≥ 3.94) value was prognostic for lower 6-month PFS and 12-month OS rates. dNLR was not found to be important for survival times. Low PNI (< 36) value was prognostic for lower 6-month PFS and 12-month OS rates. In the multivariate analysis, increased NLR value was determined as an independent prognostic factor for 6-month PFS.
    Conclusion: In patients with advanced BTC using GEMCIS as the first-line chemotherapy regimen, NLR and PNI can be used as prognostic inflammatory markers for 6-month PFS and 12-month OS.

    Abstract Objective: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. In the treatment of these patients, pathological complete response is defined as the absence of invasive cancer in breast or lymph node tissue after the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 and mucin 1 expressions with pathological complete response in patients with breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
    Methods: A total of 151 patients were included in the study. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 and mucin 1 expressions were evaluated in the biopsy materials pre-neoadjuvant chemotherapy and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy surgical material, and their relationship with pathological complete response was investigated.
    Results: The pathological complete response rates were significantly higher among the hormone receptor-negative patients, those with a high Ki-67 score, and patients with HER2-positive. Higher pathological complete response rates were obtained from patients with enhancer of zeste homolog 2 expression positivity pre-neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In addition, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, enhancer of zeste homolog 2 expression was found to be completely negative in materials with pathological complete response; that is, in breast tissues considered to be tumor-free. While there was no significant relationship between mucin 1 expression and pathological complete response pre-neoadjuvant chemotherapy, mucin 1 expression was determined to significantly differ between the tissues with and without pathological complete response among the surgical materials examined.
    Conclusion: In our study investigating the relationship between enhancer of zeste homolog 2 and mucin 1 expression and pathological complete response in patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, we found that enhancer of zeste homolog 2 expression could be used as a predictive marker for pathological complete response. However, mucin 1 expression was not associated with pathological complete response.

    Abstract This study aimed to evaluate CD73 and PD-L1 and determine their relationship with each other and with overall survival (OS) in sarcoma patients. The paraffin blocks of 101 patients were analysed. 56.4% were female, and the mean age was 51.39 years. The mean OS was 20.73 months, and the Ki-67 proliferative index was 41.45. A positive correlation was found between CD73 tumour and CD73 tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) findings. CD73 tumour and TIL findings were also positively correlated with PD-L1 percentages and PD-L1 intensity. An inverse correlation was detected between OS and CD73 tumour and TIL groups of 5-25%, 25-50%, 50-75%, 75-90%, and > 90%, but no such correlation was found for the ≤ 5% group. There was an inverse correlation between OS and the PD-L1 percentages of  50% and the PD-L1 intensity of weak-moderate and strong, but no correlation was found for the negative values. Lastly, an inverse correlation was found between OS and the Ki-67 proliferative index. We found CD73 and PD-L1 positivity to be associated with decreased OS in sarcoma patients and determined a significant correlation between these parameters. This result is promising in terms of achieving better survival and disease control with anti-CD73 and anti-PD-L1 therapy in selected patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Brigatinib is a next-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor that targets a wide variety of ALK mutations and ROS1 rearrangements. While pancreatic enzyme elevations due to brigatinib are well known, we wanted to present a case that caused liver toxicity.
    Case report: ALK and ROS1 translocations were detected in a 58-year-old patient diagnosed with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. In the patient who had a good response with brigatinib, more than 5-fold elevation was detected in liver enzymes at the fifth month of treatment.
    Management & outcome: After excluding other hepatitis factors, the patient was thought to have autoimmune hepatitis, and methylprednisolone was started and liver enzymes were decreased.
    Discussion: Increased creatine kinase and lipase levels are common side effects associated with brigatinib, while liver toxicity is rare. Autoimmune hepatitis due to brigatinib was considered because of hepatic toxicity that developed in the fifth month of treatment and responded well to steroids.

    Abstract Aim: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the liver stiffness (LS) change in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients obtained by elastography point quantification technique in before and after antiviral treatment (AVT).
    Material and methods: This prospective study included 84 patients diagnosed with CHC who had not previously received treatment for CHC and who had an indication for using direct-acting AVT. Necessary measurements were recorded with noninvasive liver fibrosis (LF) examinations. Posttreatment control of patients was carried out (ombitasvir + paritaprevir + ritonavir) + 3 months after the start of treatment for those treated with dasabuvir and 6 months after the start of treatment for patients treated with sofosbuvir + ribavirin. Liver stiffness changed after AVT is accepted as (Δ-LS), LS before AVT-LS after AVT.
    Results: Basal LS was found to decrease significantly after AVT (8.00 ± 2.56 kPa vs 6.95 ± 2.86 kPa, P < 0.05). Similar aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index and platelet number fibrosis 4 indices were observed before and after AVT (P > 0.05). It was observed that Δ-LS value after AVT was lower in patients with Child-Pugh class A cirrhosis than patients without cirrhosis (P < 0.05). In the comparison between Δ-LS value after AVT and LF score determined by liver biopsy, it was seen that the greatest Δ-LS value was in patients with fibrosis score of 3. An independent relationship was found between Δ-LS after AVT and LF score determined by biopsy (P < 0.05).
    Conclusions: The LS value determined by the elastography point quantification technique is more effective than other noninvasive laboratory methods in demonstrating the CHC treatment response in clinical practice.
