Publication Improving locoregional outcome in high-intermediate-risk and high-risk stage i endometrial cancer with surgical staging followed by brachytherapy(Korean Soc Therapeutic Radiology & Oncology, 2022-06-01) Arslan, Sonay; Abakay, Candan Demiröz; DEMİRÖZ ABAKAY, CANDAN; Çetintaş, Sibel; ÇETİNTAŞ, SİBEL; Kurt, Meral; KURT, MERAL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyasyon Onkolojisi Anabilim Dalı.Purpose: This study aims to assess the locoregional efficacy of postoperative vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) alone in patients undergoing surgical staging for early-stage high-intermediate-risk (HIR) and high-risk (HR) endometrial cancer.Materials and Methods: One hundred and four patients with early-stage HIR and HR endometrial cancer who underwent surgical staging were treated with adjuvant VBT alone. The patients with stage lb, grade I-III, stage la, grade III, lower uterine segment involvement, and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) were included to study.Results: The 5- and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates were 87% and 76%, respectively. The 5- and 10-year DFS rates were 86 0 10 and 86%, respectively. Among the patients, 92 % had endometrioid adenocarcinoma, 2% had undifferentiated carcinoma, 2 % had serous papillary carcinoma, and 4 % had clear-cell carcinoma. Of the patients, 6396 had stage lb disease, while 3796 had stage la disease. None of the patients had vaginal or pelvic lymph node recurrence, whereas two had para-aortic lymph node metastasis, one had surgical scar recurrence, one had para-aortic lymph node and brain metastasis, and one had lung metastasis. The presence of lymphatic invasion was found to be a statistically significant prognostic factor for increased distant metastasis rates (p = 0.020). Lymphatic invasion was also regarded as an independent prognostic factor for metastasis-free survival (p = 0.044).Conclusion: Our study results suggest that postoperative VBT alone is an effective and safe treatment modality with low complication in patients undergoing surgical staging for HIR and HR endometrial cancer.Publication Dosimetric control of dose distribution calculated in computerized treatment planning system(Kare Publ, 2011-01-01) GÜRLER, ORHAN; Şahin, Sevim; Gürler, Orhan; Gözcü, Sema; Kurt, Meral; KURT, MERAL; Şengül, Kansu; Altay, Ali; Kahraman Çetintaş, Sibel; Özkan, Lütfi; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyasyon Onkolojisi Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi/Fizik Bölümü. ; 0000-0002-9968-0119; AAB-4181-2020; ACU-4827-2022; AAH-1837-2021; AAA-3961-2020OBJECTIVESThe purpose of this study is providing dosimetric control by comparing dose values calculated in computerized treatment planning system (CTPS) and measured by Linear 2D-Array and ion chambers of various volumes.METHODSFields measured by Farmer, Semiflex and PinPoint ion chambers were created in CTPS. Using Linear 2D-Array, measurements were done in open, isocentric, oblique and wedge filtered fields which created in CTPS. Dose values were compared.RESULTSPinPoint ion chamber measured top dose values whereas Farmer ion chamber measured low values. The most compatible results with CTPS were obtained by Semiflex ion chamber. However, in 2D-Array measurements, concordance was observed with CTPS in central axis, difference reached 20 % in build-up and penumbra regions.CONCLUSIONThe most compatible results with CTPS were obtained by Semiflex ion chamber. Reasons of discordance in 2D-Array measurements were found as; varible dose around build-up region, and not to obtain the exact superpose of profiles' penumbra region.Publication An evaluation of the effects of hemoglobin levels on the efficacy of treatment and survival in patients with bladder cancer(Elsevier, 2004-01-01) Kurt, Meral; Canki, N; Çetintaş, SK; Saruhan, S; Yavaşcaoğlu, İsmet; Küçük, N.; Engin, K; KURT, MERAL; Canki, N.; ÇETİNTAŞ, SİBEL; Saruhan, S.; YAVAŞCAOĞLU, İSMET; Küçük, N.; Engin, K.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyasyon Onkolojisi; 0000-0002-5139-2484; AAA-3961-2020; AAA-7047-2020; ENQ-8539-2022; DOZ-9697-2022; EIN-0828-2022; DBW-9088-2022; CQB-5826-2022Publication Induction chemotherapy and concomitant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with unresectable, locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma(Amer Soc Clinical Oncology, 2004-07-15) Kurt, Meral; Kurt, Engin; Çetintaş, Sibel; Evrensel, Türkan; Manavoğlu, Osman; Engin, Korkmazer; KURT, MERAL; Kurt, Engin; ÇETİNTAŞ, SİBEL; Evrensel, Türkan; Manavoğlu, Osman; KORKMAZ, ENGİN; Uludağ Üniversitesi; 0000-0002-9732-5340; AAA-7047-2020; AAA-3961-2020; AAJ-1027-2021; FFO-4769-2022; AAJ-1027-2021Publication Dosimetric comparison of multileaf and fixed cone collimator plans with cyberknife(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2023-05-01) Abakay, C.
