We evaluated the incidence, clinicopathological features, prognostic factors, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with gastric cancer and bone metastases. The medical records of 110 patients with bone metastases were retrospectively analyzed. In our study, the incidence of bone metastases was 3.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the incidence of KRAS/NRAS and BRAF mutations, analyze molecular patterns, and investigate associations with clinical parameters of these mutations in CRC KRAS/NRAS and BRAF mutations analyzed by next-generation sequencing. The detection rates of these mutations and patients' demographics were recorded and the relationship between them was evaluated using the chi-square test. KRAS mutation was detected in 332 of 694 patients, while the mutation rates in KRAS exons 2/3 and 4 were 39.

This retrospective study aimed to assess the activity and tolerability of Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) PSMA-617 radioligand therapy (RLT) in mCRPC patients across multiple cancer centers in Turkey. The study included 165 patients who received at least one cycle of Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT, with the majority having bone metastases and undergone prior treatments.

Materials And Methods: Metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who treated with regorafenib between 2016 and 2020 in a single center were evaluated retrospectively. ROC analysis was used for neutrophile lymphocyte ratio (NLR's) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI's) optimum cut-off value.
