CD44, a stem cell-associated adhesion molecule, and CD47, an anti-phagocytic checkpoint, have been implicated in breast cancer chemoresistance, but their relationship to neoadjuvant response is poorly defined. We assessed both markers by immunohistochemistry in pre-treatment core biopsies from 43 women treated with neoadjuvant therapy at a single center. Total pathological complete response (pCR; ypT0/is ypN0), designated the primary endpoint during peer review, occurred in 12 patients (27.9%), and breast pCR (ypT0/is) in 14 (32.6%). Total pCR rates were 18.2% in CD44-positive and 38.1% in CD44-negative tumors (odds ratio, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.09–1.46; Fisher exact p = 0.185). CD44 positivity was concentrated in rarely responding hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative tumors, and stratification by subtype moved the odds ratio toward the null (0.62; exact 95% CI, 0.07–5.25). For CD47, the odds ratio per one-point increase in immunoreactivity score was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.54–1.19; p = 0.264), but immunoreactivity was low (only two tumors reached the prespecified high-expression threshold) and possibly technically compromised, so these findings are inconclusive. No statistically detectable association was observed between either marker and total or breast pCR; treatment could not be adjusted for, and only very large effects were detectable. These exploratory data do not provide sufficient evidence to support CD44 or CD47 as response markers.

Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for approximately 85% of cases. Over the past decade, immune checkpoint inhibitors have become a core component of first-line treatment for advanced-stage NSCLC lacking driver mutations. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression is currently used as the standard biomarker, yet its predictive value remains limited, and in most immunotherapy trials, treatment efficacy has been observed independently of PD-L1 expression status. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), an epigenetic regulator, promotes immune escape by suppressing antigen presentation and impairing CD8+ T-cell function, thereby generating an immune-cold tumor microenvironment, positioning it as a promising candidate biomarker. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 102 NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy at a single center between 2018 and 2024. EZH2 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry. A cohort-derived 25% threshold was used for the primary exploratory analysis, and the analyses were repeated using a 50% threshold as a sensitivity analysis. Patients were classified as EZH2-high (45.1%) and EZH2-low (54.9%) at the 25% threshold. Results: At the 25% threshold, objective response rate (ORR) was 53.6% in the EZH2-low group and 45.7% in the EZH2-high group (Fisher’s exact p = 0.551), while disease control rate (DCR) was 64.3% and 60.9%, respectively (p = 0.837). Median overall survival (OS) was 37 versus 27 months (log-rank p = 0.323), and median progression-free survival (PFS) was 15 versus 12 months (p = 0.387). No significant correlation was found between EZH2 and PD-L1 expression (r = 0.167, p = 0.138). In treatment-line-adjusted Cox models, EZH2 expression was not associated with OS (hazard ratio (HR) 0.953, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.533–1.704; p = 0.870) or PFS (HR 0.996, 95% CI 0.573–1.733; p = 0.989), whereas squamous histology was an independent predictor of survival. Results remained non-significant at the 50% threshold. Early progression was uncommon and did not differ significantly by EZH2 status overall or within PD-L1 strata. Conclusions: In this real-world cohort, EZH2 expression was not independently associated with response, early progression, OS, or PFS, and showed no correlation with PD-L1. These exploratory findings do not support the clinical use of EZH2 as a biomarker at this stage; prospective, multicenter studies using predefined thresholds and standardized immunohistochemical methods are needed to clarify its potential role as a marker complementary to PD-L1.

Background/Objectives: Paragangliomas (PGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors, and data describing them from a medical oncology perspective are limited. We characterized clinicopathological features, tumor localization, and treatment outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 43 patients with PGL at a single medical oncology department. The primary endpoint was recurrence-free survival (RFS), defined as time to first recurrence or death from any cause; overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and prognostic associations were secondary. Results: Median age was 44 years, 60.5% were female, and tumors were sympathetic (extra-adrenal) in 55.8% and parasympathetic (head and neck) in 39.5%. After a median follow-up of 116.8 months, 40 patients (93.0%) underwent resection, among whom 14 RFS events occurred (13 recurrences, 1 unrelated death). Median RFS and OS were not reached (60-month RFS, 67.1%; 120-month OS, 83.3%). Among nine patients receiving first-line systemic therapy (eight response-evaluable), ORR was 12.5% and DCR 37.5%. In exploratory univariable analysis, a Ki-67 index ≥ 3% correlated with recurrence (time-averaged hazard ratio, 4.53; 95% CI, 1.55–13.19; p = 0.006), alongside an R1 resection margin (not significant after Bonferroni correction). Conclusions: These findings may support further evaluation of Ki-67 within risk-adapted surveillance but do not replace germline testing.

Objectives: Lung cancer remains as the most common cause of cancer-related death. The possible relationships between inflammatory markers and lung cancer prognosis have yet to be clarified. In this study, we aimed to assess and compare various inflammatory markers and prognostic tests for their role in predicting mortality in patients with lung cancer who were admitted to the intensive care unit. Methods: A total of 229 patients diagnosed with small cell or non-small cell lung cancer who attended follow-up after treatment were included. The predictive performance of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), Prognostic nutritional index (PNI), APACHE II score, and MPM II-Admission (Mortality Probability Models II-0) were assessed in terms of mortality status. We also performed multivariable logistic regression to determine whether any of these parameters were independently associated with mortality. Results: We included 229 patients into our study; the mean age was 66.17 ± 11.89 years. Among these, 135 (58.95%) patients died and 94 (41.05%) patients were discharged. When we evaluated the performance of the prognostic scores in predicting mortality, we found mGPS, MPM II-Admission, and APACHE II scores had the highest sensitivity, and MPM II-Admission, PNI, and APACHE II scores had the highest specificity. Multivariable regression revealed that PNI was the only inflammation-related parameter that was independently associated with mortality. Conclusions: PNI, APACHE-II, and MPM II-Admission may be used as easily accessible tests for mortality estimation in lung cancer patients admitted to the ICU.

Colonoscopy is a widely used tool for the diagnosis and treatment of colon disease [1]. It is the gold standart to visualize the large bowel [2]. Acute phosphate nephropathy (APhN) is a clinical entity which causes acute and subsequent chronic renal failure after exposure to oral sodium phosphate (OSP) bowel purgatives. APhN is seen as a result of oral sodium phosphate use in patients undergoing bowel cleansing before colonoscopy [3]. Generally, patients who will undergo colonoscopy are given 45 ml of OSP twice, starting 12-24 hours before the procedure. After intestinal absorption, elevated urea and creatinine, transient hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hypokalemia and high anion gap metabolic acidosis may also be observed [4]. Advanced age, ACEi/ARB use, acute or chronic kidney disese or the presence of a kidney transplant, retention of OSP resulting from poor bowel motility or colitis, female gender, volume depletion, hypertension, diabetes, and diuretic, lithium, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use are considered as risk factors [5]. This case report describes a patient who developed nephropathy and required urgent observation and treatment after phosphate administration before colonoscopy.

Background/Aim: Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Predicting the prognosis in breast cancer with very high mortality is important in terms of disease treatment and increasing life expectancy. In our study, we aimed to examine the importance of some inflammatory markers and scoring systems in predicting prognosis in patients with breast cancer who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in the Department of Medical Oncology and Intensive Care Unit between 2014 and 2020. Breast cancer patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit at any stage of their treatment during the study and followed up and treated in the medical oncology department of the hospital were included in the study. All data were compared between groups (discharged or exitus) based on survival status. Socio-demographic information, laboratory findings (hemoglobin, leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, eosinophils, monocytes, C-reactive protein [CRP], albumin, lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], clinical status [co-morbidities, length of stay in intensive care, mechanical ventilation, and reason for hospitalization in the intensive care unit]), and survival data of the patients were collected retrospectively from hospital medical records. We also recorded treatment-related data and relapse/progression information. Neutrophil–lymphocyte, platelet–lymphocyte, and lymphocyte–monocyte ratios (NLR, PLR, and LMR, respectively) were calculated. Results: Thirty-seven (52.1%) patients died and 34 (47.9%) patients survived. The NLR (P=0.021), Modified Glasgow Prognostic score (P<0.001), APACHE II score (P<0.001) and mortality probability model (MPM II) upon admission (P<0.001) were significantly higher in the exitus group than in the survivors. The lymphocyte_monocyte ratio (P=0.030) and prognostic nutritional index (P=0.004) were significantly higher in the discharged group than in the death group. When we evaluated performance of the prognostic scores to predict mortality, we found that the APACHE II score (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.939, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.888–0.990), MPM II-Admission (AUC: 0.936, 95% CI: 0.880–0.992), and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score ([mGPS] AUC: 0.727, 95% CI: 0.600–0.854) had the highest area under curve values. Multivariable regression revealed that longer chemotherapy duration (≥2 weeks), an mGPS score of two points, and high MPM-II (≥36 points) were independently associated with mortality. Conclusion: Among the inflammatory markers and scores examined, mGPS and MPM-II were found to be independently associated with mortality in breast cancer patients who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit. In addition, patients with longer chemotherapy duration had a higher risk of mortality, but this result was limited by various possible confounders.

Introduction: Plasmapheresis is a frequently used procedure that removes the pathogenic components from circulation. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between plasmapheresis, neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU) between 2014 and 2021.Methods: Forty‐nine patients (27 females and 22 males) were included. Demographic characteristics, laboratory values of the day of admittance to the ICU, APACHE II scores, and length of stay were recorded.Results: The mean age was 52.73 ± 16.93. APACHE II value (p = 0.003; p < 0.01), NLR ratio (p = 0.001; p < 0.01) and PLR ratio (p = 0.001; p < 0.01) of the surviving group were lower than those of the deceased group, which was statistically significant.Conclusion: As high PLR and NLR levels suggest increased mortality in the ICU population, attention should be paid for increased NLR and PLR when plasmapheresis is decided on in the ICU.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors are drugs that are included in the guidelines of hematological and solid cancer treatments, give highly effective results and increase T cell functionality. However, these drugs can cause immune-related adverse events resembling autoimmune diseases. Case report: A 50-year-old male patient was admitted to an external center with complaints of chest pain and dyspnea. Thoracic CT revealed a 97 × 58 mm mass in the left lung, and a diagnosis of Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) was made by biopsy. The PET/CT performed for staging was also evaluated as extensive stage small cell lung cancer. It was decided to give a combination of atezolizumab and carboplatin-etoposide to the patient. Management and outcome: The patient completed 3 cycles without any problem. Discordance was detected in the hemogram of the patient who came to the control for the assessment of response and had a regression in the imaging. Hemoglobin 9.6 g/dl (N: 14–17.5) hematocrit 14.8% (N: 41–51) were detected in the hemogram. Agglutinins were seen in the peripheral smear performed. Cold agglutinin (+4 positive) and indirect coombs (+3 positive) were found positive. Atezolizumab was stopped and methylprednisolone was started. After 10 days of treatment, discordance improved and methylprednisolone was discontinued by decreasing to half dose every 5 days. Discussion: With the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, the variety of side effects has increased and case reports have increased. After detection of cold agglutinin, IgG, cryoglobulin, mycoplasma pneumonia, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV were found negative in the differential diagnosis, Our case appears to be immune checkpoint inhibitor-related Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD). It should not be forgotten that immune checkpoint inhibitors, which are widely used, may cause CAD, and hemoglobin-hematocrit discordance should be paid attention to in routine controls.
