    Abstract: e11093 Background: Bisphosphonates therapy reduces the risk of skeletally related complications in patients with bone metastases due to malignancy and bisphosphonates are the most common used agents in the treatment of osteoporosis. However, the effect on clinical and pathological properties of breast cancer with using oral alendronate has not been reported. We investigate retrospectively the demographic and clinico-pathological characteristics of patients with oral alendronate users for longer than 1 year, compared to non-users. Methods: Patients with breast cancer diagnosed from 1998 to 2010 in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed. Patient’s demographics including survival data and tumor characteristics were obtained from medical charts. Breast cancer patients who were taking oral alendronate more than 12 months at the time of breast cancer diagnosis were enrolled as an alendronate users (n=44), where the patients matched with the same age who were not taking oral alendronate were included as a control group (n=444). Results: A total of 488 patients were included in this study. Forty-four patients received an oral alendronate treatment more than one year and 444 patients were considered as nonusers. Median age of both alendronate users and nonusers was 57 (33-89). Lower incidence histological grade III, T3-T4 tumor, and node positivity was seen in alendronate users but not statistically significant. A similar trend for lower incidence of triple negative and higher incidence ER (P=0.13), PR (P=0.12) and HER2 positivity (P=0.21) was also seen in alendronate users but not statistically significant. Disease free survival rate was 150±28 months in alendronate users where as 70±24 months in nonusers (P=0.015). Median overall survival rates could not be obtained but higher in alendronate users but not statistically significant (P=0.13). Conclusions: The use of oral alendronate for longer than one year before the diagnosis of breast cancer was associated with better clinico-pathological properties and significantly improved disease free survival in breast cancer patients.

    Abstract: e20614 Background: Zoledronic acid (ZA) is one of the important biphosphanate which is widely used in bone metastatic cancer patients and osteoporotic patients. In a few studies it has been reported that treatment with biphosphonate was associated with an increased risk for atrial fibrillation. We aim to evaluate the arrhythmias that developed during infusion and immediately after infusion of the ZA. Methods: Bone metastatic 52 patients were included in study group. All of patients had totally 24 hour holter motorization during the first dose ZA infusion day. All of patients had 4 hours basal cardiac rhythm records before ZA infusion and about 19 hours after infusion. A short survey including demographic data and past medical history was completed. None of patients had clinically important arrhythmias before ZA infusion. We divided arrhythmias as supraventricular and ventricular. We evaluated arrhythmias pre, during and after ZA infusion. ZA were administered 4 mg IV in 15 minutes. Results: Thirty three of patients (63,5%) were male and 19 (36,5%) female. Median age of the patients was 52 (27-73). Most frequent cancers were breast (25%) and lung cancer (15,3%).Twelve (23%) patients had history of mediastinal radiotherapy. Three patients had history of myocardial infarction. In basal records we detected that twenty four of patients had supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) or ventricular premature systole (VPS). Fifteen of patients had SVT and fourteen had VPS during infusion period. After infusion period 48 of patients had SVT and 41 had VPS. Only 3 patients had none of arrhythmia after infusion. Three of the patients had sinusoidal arrhythmia and two had Mobitz type 2 bloc after infusion and also one of our patient who had no history of co morbidities and had SVT basal records, developed atrial fibrillation that refractory to medical cardioversion after 10 days of seventh dose ZA infusion. Conclusions: In this study we found that both SVT and VPS increased in cancer patients treated with ZA. Furthermore ZA may induce clinically important arrhythmias.

    Abstract: e13031 Background: The most important dose-limiting manifestation of cisplatin is renal tubular dysfunction and a cumulative impairment in renal function, as manifested by a decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). There is a clinical need to predict the probability of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN), in order to support decisions about patient management and preventive measures. The aim of the present study was to develop risk prediction of CIN. Methods: Consecutive 197 patients with documented serum creatinine before at least 48 hours every cycle cisplatin-based chemotherapy were included the study. Demographic and medical data including age, performance status, tumor characteristics and comorbid diseases were collected from the medical charts. Renal function was evaluated for each cycle before treatment (day 0) and before next cycle (day 21) based on the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula. Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) was defined as decrease of ≥ 25% in GFR compared to baseline GFR values. Results: The mean age of the study population was 54.5±9.6 years. Baseline MDRD levels had decreased of ≥ 25% in 58 (29.4%) patients accepted as CIN group, the rest of 139 patients of the study population accepted as a non-CIN group. There was no difference of age, gender, body mass index and smoking history between groups. In both group, the hypertension (p=0.81), diabetes mellitus (p=0.72), and cardiovascular disease (p=0.58) were seen equally. Types of concomitant therapy with cisplatin-based chemotherapy were similar between CIN and non-CIN groups. The applied radiologic examinations with contrast media was observed higher in CIN group than non-CIN group (P=0.01). In patients exposure the contrast media within one week before cisplatin administration, the risk of CIN was observed 2.56 (95%CI: 1.28-5.11) times higher than in patients not exposure to the contrast (p=0.009). Conclusions: In patients exposure the contrast media within one week before cisplatin administration, the risk of CIN was observed higher than in patients not exposure to the contrast. No additional risk factor of CIN was found in this retrospective observational study.

    Abstract: e11009 Background: Estrogen receptor (ER), progesteron receptor (PR) and HER-2 are prognostic and predictive markers in the management of breast cancer treatment. Delay in fixation of the specimens may reduce the ability to detect breast cancer biomarkers and resulting in false negative immunhistochemical results. Handling of specimens from operation rooms to pathology laboratories may delay sometimes, especially Fridays. We hypothesized that ER, PR and HER-2 expression status may change according to the day of surgical procedure. Methods: Patients who operated between 2005 and 2010 for breast cancer in our Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Consecutive 462 patients who had breast conserving surgery and modified radical mastectomy were included into the study. Patient’s demographics data and tumor characteristics and surgical procedure day were obtained from medical charts. Results: The mean age of the study population was 50±11 years. There were not differences between the T, N, M stage and age of patients according to operation day. ER, PR, HER-2 expressions were similar in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. So we grouped the patients operated on Friday and others. Among the patients, 121 (26%) were operated on Friday. ER and PR negativity was higher on Friday procedures than the other weekdays (40% vs 23.2%; p=0.008 and 35.7% vs 27.9%; p=0.08, respectively). HER-2 positivity on Friday was significantly higher than the other weekdays (41.9% versus 23.4%; P=0.005). Conclusions: Cold ischemic time is the interval between removal of the tissue and placement in the tissue fixative. ER and PR are thermolabile proteins whose levels of expression are altered by prolonged cold ischemic time. Studies have shown delays in handling of breast cancer tissues affect biomarkers positivity and some tumors were classified falsely as negative. Specimens obtained on Friday may have more delaying for handling; therefore may have more hormon receptor negative results. In our study we have shown that ER negativity and HER-2 positivity are significantly higher on patients who were operated on Friday. Our study showed that handling of the specimen to the pathology laboratories is crucial and affect the treatment decisions.

    Abstract: e11033 Background: Several studies suggest that total breastfeeding time reduces breast cancer risk although the underlying mechanism is unclear. However the total breast feeding is not well studied as a prognostic factor in patients with cancer. We aimed to investigate the possible prognostic role of total breastfeeding time (TBT) in breast cancer patients both on relation with tumor characteristics and also on prognosis. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 1673 breast cancer patients who followed up between 2004 and 2010 in our clinic. The total breastfeeding time was obtained by summing the breastfeeding time for each child. The total breastfeeding time was categorized as: 1-The total breastfeeding time between 0-12 months; 2-Total breastfeeding time more than 12 months. Results: The median total breastfeeding time of this population was 12 months. 1011(60.4%) of these have total breastfeeding time between 0-12 months and 662 (%39.6) of them have total breastfeeding time more than 12 months. T, N, M stages were similar in both groups. Total breastfeeding time was not correlated with any of clinical parameters including lymphovascular invasion, extracapsulary invasion, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, HER2 2 status, perineural invasion. There was a positive correlation found between total breastfeeding time and BMI (r=1.24; P 〈 0.001).TBT (≥12 months) has poor disease free survival (DSF) time (116 vs. 75 months; p=0.002) and 3-years overall survival rate (98% vs 95.2%; p=0.049). Conclusions: In our study; total breastfeeding time was not found to be correlated with any of the clinico-pathological parameters. However, disease free survival and overall survival were statistically shorter in patients whose total breastfeeding time was more than 12 months.
