Item Eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal boneBayazit, Y; Sirikci, A; Bayaram, M; Kanlikama, M; Demir, A; Bakir, KHistiocytosis X or Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease that possesses three less distinctive and overlapping states called eosinophilic granuloma (EG)I Hand-Schuller-Christian (HSC) disease and Letterer-Siwe (LS) disease. EG is the least severe and localized form of all LCHs and possesses the best prognostic result. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose the EG, especially when an ear disease is refractory to medical treatment. Early detection is important to manage the EG properly and to minimize the complications or sequels of treatment. Definitive diagnosis of histiocytosis is made by histopathological means and immunohistochemical detection of S-100 and CD1 antigens in the tissue samples. And differential diagnosis of the subgroups is made according to the clinical manifestations such as visceral organ or bone involvement. Surgical excision, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, either alone or in combination, are the main treatment options. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

Materials and Methods: Patients with a pathologically confirmed RCC diagnosis after radical or partial nephrectomy in the Turkish Urooncology Association (TUOA), Urological Cancers Database-Kidney (UroCaD-K), were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with ccRCC and chRCC were included in the study. The primary outcomes of this study are recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) for each histological subtype. Results: Data from 5300 patients in the TUOA UroCaD-K are reviewed and a total of 2560 patients (2225 in the ccRCC group and 335 in the chRCC group) are included in the final analysis. In the comparison of the groups, tumor size was greater both radiologically and pathologically in chRCC (p p = 0.019 vs 0.002 respectively). Recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates are worse in ccRCC subgroup. In the evaluation of risk factors; pathological stage, local invasion and Fuhrmann grade were found to be significant for recurrence in ccRCC. Age, body mass index and pathological stage were the risk factors affecting overall mortality (OM). Pathological tumor size was an independent risk factor for recurrence in chRCC, while age was analyzed as the only parameter affecting OM. Conclusion: chRCC oncological data and OS, CSS and RFS rates were found to be better than ccRCC in the Turkish patient population.Item Are the Recommended Criteria for Clinically Insignificant Prostate Cancer Applicable to 12-core Prostate Biopsy Scheme? A Multicentre Study of Urooncology Association, TurkeyÇelik, S; Kizilay, F; Yörükoglu, K; Özen, H; Akdogan, B; Izol, V; Bayazit, Y; Aslan, G; Sözen, S; Baltaci, S; Müezzinoglu, T; Narter, F; Türkeri, LObjective: The aim of this study is to investigate the relevance of the Epstein criteria for the 12-core transrectal prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx) scheme with the evaluation of clinicopathologic data recorded in the Urologic Cancer Database - Prostate (UroCaD-P), Urooncology Association, Turkey (UOAT). Materials and Methods: Patients with detailed pathological 12-core TRUS-Bx data for each biopsy core and who underwent RP due to PCa were included in this study. A total of 1167 patients from seven different centres were analysed. TRUS-Bx pathological findings were separately evaluated in the areas matching the sextant biopsy (6-core paramedian-lateral) scheme and in all 12-core biopsy areas (12-core biopsy scheme). Overall detection rates of PCa and ratios of clinically significant (sPCa) and insignificant PCa (insPCa) after RP were defined and compared between the biopsy schemes. Biopsy findings, according to the Epstein criteria, were also compared between the two schemes. A model for each biopsy scheme was created, including the Epstein criteria and additional biopsy findings using logistic regression analysis to predict clinically sPCa after RP. Results: There was a high correlation for the prediction of clinically insPCa between the two biopsy schemes in the same population. However, 7.3% of PCa could not be diagnosed in the 6-core TRUS-Bx scheme. Also, 69.4% of these had clinically sPCa according to the Epstein criteria in 12-core TRUS-Bx scheme and 51.8% of these were clinically sPCa after RP. The presence of perineural invasion (PNI) in 12-core biopsy was also significant regarding predicting sPCa (p<0.001). Conclusion: The Epstein criteria in 12-core prostate biopsy provide a better prediction of clinically sPCa than the 6-core biopsy scheme. Biopsy PNI findings appeared to improve the effectiveness of 12-core prostate biopsy, in addition to the Epstein criteria.Item Sextant Biopsy-Based Criteria for Clinically Insignificant Prostate Cancer Are Also Valid for the 12-Core Prostate Biopsy Scheme: A Multicenter Study of Urooncology Association, TurkeyÇelik, S; Kizilay, F; Yörükoglu, K; Aslan, G; Ozen, H; Akdogan, B; Sozen, S; Baltaci, S; Muezzinoglu, T; Izol, V; Bayazit, Y; Narter, F; Türkeri, LBackground: Epstein criteria based on sextant biopsy are assumed to be valid for 12-core biopsies. However, very scarce information is present in the current literature to support this view. Objectives: To investigate the validity of Epstein criteria for clinically insignificant prostate cancer (PCa) in a cohort of the currently utilized 12-core prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx) scheme in patients with low-risk and intermediate-risk PCa. Method: Pathological findings were separately evaluated in the areas matching the sextant biopsy (6-core paramedian) scheme and in all 12-core schemes. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the final pathology report of RP as true clinically significant PCa (sPCa) and insignificant PCa (insPCa) groups. Predictive factors (including Epstein criteria) and cutoff values for the presence of insPCa were separately evaluated for 6- and 12-core TRUS-Bx schemes. Then, different predictive models based on Epstein criteria with or without additional biopsy findings were created. Results: A total of 442 patients were evaluated. PSA density, biopsy GS, percentage of tumor and number of positive cores, PNI, and HG-PIN were independent predictive factors for insPCa in both TRUS-Bx schemes. For the 12-core scheme, the best cutoff values of tumor percentage and number of positive cores were found to be <= 50% (OR: 3.662) and 1.5 cores (OR: 2.194), respectively. The best predictive model was found to be that which added 3 additional factors (PNI and HG-PIN absence and number of positive cores) to Epstein criteria (OR: 6.041). Conclusions: Using a cutoff value of 1 for the number of positive biopsy cores and absence of biopsy PNI and HG-PIN findings can be more useful for improving the prediction model of the Epstein criteria in the 12-core biopsy scheme.Item How accurate is radiological imaging for perirenal fat and renal vein invasion in renal cell carcinoma?Ucer, O; Muezzinoglu, T; Ozden, E; Aslan, G; Izol, V; Bayazit, Y; Altan, M; Akdogan, B; Ozen, H; Sozen, S; Cetin, S; Suer, E; Esen, B; Baltaci, SObjective To evaluate the accuracy of radiological staging, especially renal venous and perirenal fat invasion, in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Material and Methods Data of 4823 renal tumour patients from Renal Tumor Database of Association of Uro-oncology in Turkey were evaluated. Of 4823 patients, 3309 RCC patients had complete radiological, and histopathological data were included to this study. The Pearson chi-squared test (chi(2)) was used to compare radiological and histopathological stages. Results The mean (SD) age of 3309 patients was 58 (12.3). Preoperative radiological imaging was performed using computed tomography (CT) (n = 2510, 75.8%) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (n = 799, 24.2%). There was a substantial concordance between radiological and pathological staging (k = 0.52, P < .001). Sensitivities of radiological staging in stages I, II, III and IV were 90.7%, 67.3%, 27.7% and 64.2%, respectively. The sensitivity in stage III was lower than the other stages. Subanalysis of stage IIIa cases revealed that, for perirenal fat invasion and renal vein invasion, sensitivity values were 15.4% and 11.3%, respectively. Conclusions There was a substantial concordance between radiological (CT and/or MRI) and pathological T staging in RCC. However, this is not true for T3 cases. Sensitivity of preoperative radiological imaging in patients with pT3a tumours is insufficient and lower than the other stages. Consequently, preoperative imaging in patients with T3 RCC has to be improved, in order to better inform the patients regarding prognosis of their disease.Item Predicting factors of acute kidney injury after partial nephrectomy and its impact on long-term renal function: A multicentre study of the Turkish Urooncology AssociationSuer, E; Akpinar, C; Izol, V; Bayazit, Y; Sozen, S; Cetin, S; Ozden, E; Turkeri, L; Bozkurt, O; Ucer, O; Baltaci, SObjectives To investigate the predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI) after partial nephrectomy and the impact of AKI stage on long-term kidney function. Methods Data of 1055 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy between January 2008 and January 2018 at seven separate tertiary centres were analysed. AKI was defined according to AKI Network criteria. The association between pre-operative and perioperative factors and AKI was evaluated using logistic regression analysis. Recovery of at least 90% of baseline glomerular filtration rate 1 year after partial nephrectomy, change of 1 year glomerular filtration rate compared with baseline glomerular filtration rate and stage >= 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression were assessed according to the stage of AKI. Results AKI was recorded in 281 (26.7%) of 1055 patients after partial nephrectomy, and of these patients, 197 (70.1%) had stage 1, 77 (27.4%) had stage 2 and 7 (2.5%) had stage 3. Higher tumour complexity and baseline glomerular filtration rate were independent predictors for AKI. The proportion of recovering 90% of baseline glomerular filtration rate at 1 year for any patient who had stage <= 1 vs stage 2-3 of AKI was 78.2% (95% CI: 73.2%-83.7%) and 23.8% (95% CI: 14.7%-38.7%), respectively (P < .001). The risk of stage >= 3 CKD progression for any patient who had stage <= 1 vs stage 2-3 of AKI was 6.2% (95% CI: 4.1%-9.2%) and 63.1% (95% CI: 52.5%-75.6%), respectively (P < .001). Conclusions AKI adversely affects renal function in the long-term after partial nephrectomy and stage 2-3 significantly increases the risk of CKD in the long term.Item Factors affecting long-term renal functions after partial vs radical nephrectomy for clinical T1 renal masses: A Multicentre Study of the Urooncology Association, TurkeyIzol, V; Gokalp, F; Sozen, S; Ozden, E; Bayazit, Y; Muezzinoglu, T; Kara, O; Cetin, S; Gulsen, M; Turkeri, L; Tansug, MZPurpose To compare the functional outcomes of patients who underwent partial (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN) for clinical T1 (cT1) renal tumours using the Kidney Cancer Database of the Urooncology Association, Turkey. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 1004 patients who underwent PN and RN for cT1 renal tumours at multiple academic tertiary centres between 2000 and 2018. Patients with preoperative end-stage chronic kidney disease and/or metastatic disease were excluded. Results There were 452 patients in the PN group and 552 patients in the RN group. The median follow-ups were 74.9 and 83.7 months in RN and PN cohort. The eGFR was significantly reduced in both groups on postoperative day 1 (PN = 13.7 vs RN = 19.1 mL/min/1.73 m(2): P < .001). In the PN group, eGFR showed a tendency to recover according to a quadratic pattern and reached preoperative levels in the first and third years (95.6 +/- 28.8 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and 96.9 +/- 28.9 mL/min/1.73 m(2), respectively), with no significant difference between the eGFRs in the 1st and 3rd years (P = .710). To define groups at risk, different cut-off values for the GFR were considered. Among patients with a baseline GFR < 90, the RN cohort had significantly lower eGFRs in the first and third years than the PN cohort (P = .02). Logistic regression showed that comorbidities, coronary artery disease, diabetes and hypertension had no adverse impacts on the changes in the eGFR (P = .60, P = .13, and P = .13, respectively). Conclusion For the treatment of stage T1 kidney tumours, open or laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has the benefit to preserve renal function.
