    (2024) Küçüköztaş, Nadire; Duman, Tuba Taslamacioğlu; Düzcü, Selma Erdoğan; Rahatli, Samed; Üyetürk, Ümmügül
    Aim: Among the endocrine malignancies, thyroid carcinoma (TC) is the most common. However, anaplastic TC accounts for 1-2% of these cancers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic and pathologic features, treatments, and survival of patients with anaplastic TC. Methods: Anaplastic TC patients who applied to our medical oncology clinics between 01.01.2012 -01.12.2018 were retrospectively evaluated. Results: A total of 8 patients were included in the study. There were 4 female and 4 male patients with a median age of 68 (minimum 61-maximum 83) years. The initial complaint of all patients was a fast-growing swelling in the neck. Six patients had total thyroidectomy. Two patients had anaplastic TC with a differential TC. Six patients were at stage 4C. The most common site of metastasis was the lung (75%). Five patients had received a median of 3 (1-6) cycles of chemotherapy. Radiotherapy was applied to 7 patients. All patients except one died during the follow-up period. The median survival time of the patients was 3 (2-15) months. Conclusion: Anaplastic TC, an aggressive tumor with high metastasic potential, has no effective treatment at present. Effective treatments are needed for this rare and aggressive disease. Developments in the molecular field are promising for the treatment of ATC.

    Does Mean Platelet Volume to Lymphocyte Ratio Associates with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Its Subtypes?
    (2019) Duman, Tuba Taslamacioğlu; Tel, Burçin Meryem Atak
    INTRODUCTION: Hemogram parameters are considered as inflammatory markers in various diseases. The objective of this study was to assess mean platelet volume to lymphocyte ratio (MPVLR) of subjects with IBS and to compare to those in healthy population.METHODS: Patients with IBS whose admissions to our outpatient internal medicine clinic were enrolled to the study. Patients with IBS were divided into two groups according to the predominant symptom, either IBS diarrhea predominant (IBS-D) or IBS constipation predominant (IBS-C). Healthy volunteers were enrolled as control group. General characteristics and MPVLR levels of the groups compared.RESULTS: The MPVLR of IBS-C, IBS-D and control groups were 0.005 (0.001), 0.004 (0.001) and 0.003 (0.001), respectively (p<0.001). Post Hoc test revealed that MPVLR of IBS-C and IBS-D groups were similar (p=0.44) and MPVLR of control groups was significantly lower than that of the IBS-C (p<0.001) and IBS-D (p<0.001) groups.DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION: The main outcome of present study was that MPVLR could be used as a marker of IBS. However, it is not useful in differentiating IBS constipation predominance from IBS diarrhea predominance. In conclusion, despite increased MPVLR could not differentiate IBS constipation predominance from the IBS diarrheapredominance, it could be useful in establishing the diagnosis of IBS.
