    The effect of multifocal and multicentric tumours on local recurrence and survival outcomes in breast cancer
    (Imprimatur Publications, 2021) Ozturk, Alper; Ilgun, Serkan; Ucuncu, Muhammed; Gachayev, Firuz; Ordu, Cetin; Alco, Gul; Elbuken, Filiz
    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the multifocal (MF)/multicentric (MC) breast cancers with unifocal (UF) breast cancers in terms of tumour characteristics, treatment methods, loco-regional recurrence and survival rates. Methods: Patients who were treated with a diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer (stage I,II) and had regular follow-up were included in the study. MF tumours were defined as having more than one tumour focus in the same quadrant, whereas MC tumours refered to the presence of more than one tumour focus in different quadrants. Results: In total, 1865 patients with invasive breast cancer were evaluated, 1493 (80.1%) of whom had UF cancer, 330 (17.7%) had MF cancer, and 42 (2.3%) had MC cancer. After comparing the groups with each other, it was seen that MF and MC breast cancers occurred more often at early ages and that lymph node invasion (LNI) was greater. No differences were seen between the 3 groups in terms of local recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates. In multivariate analysis, it was found that MF and MC tumours had no impact on local recurrence and OS. In multivariate analysis, it was understood that HER2 positivity and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) had an impact on local recurrence, and age, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), T3 tumour, lymph node positivity and TNBC subtype had an impact on OS. Conclusion: Although MC and MF tumours show aggressive features such as high lymph node positivity and LVI, they have similar loco-regional recurrence and survival rates to UF tumours.

    The relationship between psychological flexibility, self-compassion, and posttraumatic growth in cancer patients in the COVID-19 pandemic
    (Springer, 2023) Unal, Ipek Ozonder; Unal, Caglar; Duymaz, Tomris; Ordu, Cetin
    PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic may have an important long-term emotional impact on patients with cancer diagnosis, as they are in the high-risk group. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between self-compassion, psychological flexibility, and posttraumatic growth, and to examine whether psychological flexibility may serve as a mediator between self-compassion and posttraumatic growth.MethodsTwo hundred fifty-three patients with cancer were included in the study. Sociodemographic and Clinical Features Data Form, Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ), and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) were applied to all patients.ResultsThe multivariate analysis with independent variable SCS, FMI, AAQ-II, and CFQ scores explains 49% of the variance in PTGI (F(4,248) = 60,585, p < 0.001). SC and FMI scores were found to have a positive and AAQ-II and CFQ scores a negative predictive effect on PTGI scores. The partial mediational effect of psychological flexibility on the relationship between self-compassion and posttraumatic growth was found to be statistically significant.ConclusionIn traumatic life events such as pandemics, the importance of self-compassion for posttraumatic growth and the mediator role of psychological flexibility in this relationship should be considered in order to manage the treatment process in cancer patients. These patients are more affected by the pandemic due to the nature of their malignancy and the strict protective measures they must follow as members of a high-risk group. The significance of therapies focused on psychological flexibility should be emphasized in comprehensive biopsychosocial approaches for the management of cancer patients.

    The Role of Elastography in Diagnosis and Staging of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema
    (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2019) Iyigun, Zeynep Erdogan; Agacayak, Filiz; Ilgun, Ahmet Serkan; Celebi, Filiz Elbuken; Ordu, Cetin; Alco, Gul; Ozturk, Alper
    Background: Early detection of lymphedema gives an opportunity for effective and successful treatment of lymphedema. However, the current diagnosis methods, except the bioimpedance analysis, perometry, and indocyanine green lymphography, have limitations in detecting early stage lymphedema. Sonoelastography is a diagnostic ultrasound technique that provides an opportunity to estimate soft tissue stiffness. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a brand new elastography technique. Unlike strain elastography, this method is conducted automatically, that is, independently of user's manual tissue compression. The aim of this study is to establish the role of sonoelastography in diagnosis and staging of lymphedema by using the SWE technique in lymphedema patients. Methods and Results: A total of 36 female lymphedema patients were included in the study. There was no significant difference between patients with stages 1 (n = 17) and 2 (n = 19) lymphedema in terms of age, duration after surgery, and body mass index (p > 0.05). But, differences in terms of circumference measurements for forearm and arm, L-DEX values, and duration of lymphedema were found to be statistically significant (p = 0.002-0.000-0.000-0.001). Elastography measurements between normal forearm and forearm with lymphedema showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.012). Correlation was found between circumference measurements and elastography values of forearms (p = 0.004, r = 0.471) and L-DEX scores and elastography measurements (p = 0.041, r = 0.352). When circumferential measurements of the forearms with lymphedema were compared with those with normal forearms, stage 1 patients showed no significant difference (p = 0.850), whereas a significant difference was detected in stage 2 patients (p = 0.003). Conclusion: SWE should be a useful tool in diagnosis and distinguishing early and late stages of lymphedema.
