    Comparison of Alectinib/Crizotinib Data in First-Line Therapy in Patients with Anaplastic Lymphomakinase- Positive Nonsmall Cell Lung Carcinoma with Poor Prognostic Features for Alectinib
    (Aves, 2023) Katgi, Nuran; Cimen, Pinar; Akyol, Murat; Gursoy, Pinar; Aguloglu, Nursin
    OBJECTIVE: Alectinib has a much better central nervous system transmission than crizotinib in patients diagnosed with anaplastic lym-phoma kinase mutation-positive nonsmall cell lung carcinoma. We aimed to investigate alectinib's efficacy in the treatment and its place in the first-line treatment and report our real-life data. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The data of 38 patients who were diagnosed with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive nonsmall cell lung carcinoma in our clinic between 2016 and 2021, who did not receive any treatment before were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 19 patients who received alectinib, 14 had multiple, and 6 had pretreatment brain metastases. No newly emerging brain metastases were detected during the treatment period. The progression-free survival of patients was 23.5 & PLUSMN; 4.2 months, and overall survival was 24.6 & PLUSMN; 4.1 months. Progression was observed in 10 (52.6%) patients. Of the 19 patients who received crizotinib, 7 had multiple metastases, and brain metastases were detected in 1 patient before treatment and 6 patients during the treatment period. Progression-free survival of crizotinib patients was 17.1 & PLUSMN; 4.8 months and their overall survival was 26.5 & PLUSMN; 6.1 months. Progression was observed in 17 (89.5%) patients. The second line of alectinib could be given to 8 of these patients. Overall survival after second-line treatment of alectinib was 18.2 & PLUSMN; 7.0 months. Overall survival of the patients who could not receive second-line treatment of alectinib was 4.0 & PLUSMN; 2.0 months. CONCLUSION: The progression rate was lower in alectinib than the crizotinib patients, although there were more patients with multiple metastases and brain metastases in the alectinib arm.

    The relationship between thyroid transcription factor-1 positivity and epidermal growth factor receptor mutation in lung adenocarcinoma and its prognostic significance
    (Kare Publ, 2023) Katgi, Nuran; Cimen, Pinar; Akyol, Murat; Aguloglu, Nursin
    BACKGROUND AND AIM: Thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) is a good prognostic factor and is also thought to be associated with driver mutations in lung cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between TTF-1 expression and prognosis and driver mutations in lung adenocarcinomas.METHODS: We analyzed the data of 307 patients who were diagnosed with lung adenocarci-noma and underwent TTF-1 testing in two centers between January 2018 and January 2021. RESULTS: Of the 307 patients included in the study, 231 were TTF-1 positive, 23 were weakly positive, and 53 were negative. There was no statistically significant relationship between TTF-1 positivity and progression-free survival (PFS) (p=0.492). However, overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in TTF-1 positive patients (p=0.005). Both PFS and OS were sig-nificantly longer in TTF-1 positive patients with multiple metastates (p=0.001, p=0.013). Of the 199 patients who underwent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation analysis, EGFR positivity was detected in 62 of them, and 58 patients were found to be in the TTF-1 positive group (p=0.022). CONCLUSIONS: Thyroid transcription factor-1 positivity in lung adenocarcinomas is a good prognostic factor that often accompanies EGFR positivity.
