Adult Patient Cancer Statistics of Mardin Province
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2020) Aytekin, A.
Some types of cancer are more common in some regions. The data in Turkey are recorded with the cancer registry system but this data does not cover all cities. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and demographic characteristics of oncology patients admitted to Mardin State Hospital. The records of patients, who admitted to Mardin State Hospital Medical Oncology Clinic between 2014-2018, were retrospectively reviewed. Patients over 18 years of age were included in the study. Gender, diagnosis and disease stages of the patients were recorded. The median age of the 1208 patients (654 female and 554 male) was 57 (18-94) years. The median age was 52.25 in women and 60.92 in men. The 5 most common cancers in the whole group were; breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer and gastric cancer, respectively. In men; the most common types of cancer were; lung, colorectal, prostate, head-neck and gastric cancer. On the other hand in women, the most common types of cancer were breast, colorectal, ovarian, gastric and uterus corpus cancer. The most common presentation stage was stage 4 (n = 416, 34.4%) in the whole group, stage 2 (n = 204, 31.2%) in women and stage 4 (n = 253, 45.7%) in men. Adenocarcinoma was the most common histologic type in both the male and the whole group (female and male) of patients. The most common histological types in women was breast carcinomas (invasive lobular and ductal carcinomas). In this study, the incidence of colorectal cancer in all groups (men, women and total) was higher in Mardin province when compared with Turkey data. © 2020, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

Multiple Primary Synchronous Gastric, Esophageal, and Rectal Cancer and Isolated Esophageal Metastasis From Rectal Cancer: Case Report
(Turkiye Klinikleri, 2021) Sönmez, G.M.; Aytekin, A.; Erten, R.; Aldemir, M.N.; Sakin, A.; Esen, R.
Synchronous tumors are defined as two or more neoplasms either identified simultaneously or within 6 months after the initial diagnosis in the same patient. Herein, we report a 63-year-old man with synchronous gastric, rectal carcinoma, and in situ esophageal carcinoma who also had isolated esophageal metastasis from rectal carcinoma. The patient man was diagnosed with rectal carcinoma. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography was performed for staging and demonstrated increased 18F-FDG uptake in the rectum lesion as well as in the gastric cardia and corpus. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed. After performing multiple biopsies, histopathological examination of the esophageal specimen demonstrated metastatic adenocarcinoma, in situ esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Isolated esophageal metastasis from rectal cancer is a highly rare entity. Gastric and esophageal cancers can be observed simultaneously with colorectal cancers; therefore, we recommend performing routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy for patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. © 2021 by Turkish Society of Medical Oncology.
