Publication Metadata only Clinicopathological features of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms: a retrospective single-center experience(2021-03-01T00:00:00Z) ŞEKERCİ, ABDÜSSELAM; TÜRK, HACI MEHMET; DEMİR, Tarık; ŞEKER, Mesut; AKÇAKAYA, Adem; ARICI, Dilek Sema; ŞEKERCİ, ABDÜSSELAM; TÜRK, HACI MEHMET; DEMİR, TARıK; ŞEKER, MESUT; AKÇAKAYA, ADEM; ARICI, DILEK SEMAPublication Metadata only Diagnostic performance of immediate colposcopy among women with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) other than HPV 16/18 and normal cytology(2020-12-01T00:00:00Z) Aydin, Serdar; Oncu, Hande Nur; ARICI, Dilek Sema; ARICI, DILEK SEMAAim Persistent infection with 1 of 14 high-risk genotypes human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes is the crucial for the development of high-grade cervical cancer precursors. The reassuring management of women with cytology negative, high-risk HPV (HrHPV) positive is important especially after the widespread use of HPV testing either as a cotest. The aim of our study was to compare the colposcopic biopsy results of women with HPV 16/18 with other Hr-HPV genotypes and determine positive predictive values (PPV) for CIN2+ of other HR HPV genotypes.Publication Open Access Immunoexpression of TTF-1 in Non-Lung Tumors(2014-12-01T00:00:00Z) TOSUNER, ZEYNEP; ARICI, Dilek Sema; GÜCİN, ZÜHAL; BÜYÜKPINARBAŞILI, NUR; SÖNMEZ, FATMA CAVİDE; YILDIZ, PELİN; TOSUNER, ZEYNEP; ARICI, DILEK SEMA; GÜCİN, ZÜHAL; BÜYÜKPINARBAŞILI, NUR; SÖNMEZ, FATMA CAVİDE; YILDIZ, PELİNObjective: Thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) immunoexpression is frequently determined in small-cell lung carcinomas, as well as primary lung adenocarcinomas. While dealing with metastatic carcinomas, TTF-1 immunoexpression is a significant indicator of primary lung carcinomas. Recent studies have revealed that TTF-1 immunoexpression is also defined in non-lung cancers, such as squamous cell carcinomas of different sites and certain neuroendocrine tumors. The verified data obtained from these studies indicate that a straightforward diagnosis of primary lung carcinoma in cases with positive TTF-1 immunoexpression can cause diagnostic contradictions. The aim of our study is to investigate the immunoexpression status of TTF-1 in common non-lung tumors. Methods: A total of 85 cases that were diagnosed in our institute between the years 2011-2012 were included in our study. After a review of the pathological slides prepared from these tumors [colon adenocarcinoma (n: 15), renal cell carcinoma (n: 15), prostate adenocarcinoma (n: 15), invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma (n: 15), invasive ductal carcinoma of breast (n: 15), and neuroendocrine tumors (n: 10)] TTF-1 immunohistochemistry was applied. Semiquantative evaluation based on the distribution and intensity of the staining was performed by two pathologists, respectively. Results: Positive immunostaining was evident in only 1 case of colon adenocarcinoma out of 85 cases. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that TTF-1 immunoexpression is a very rare finding (1%) in non-lung tumors. This result provides that anti-TTF-1 is a reliable antibody in the interpretation of primary lung carcinomas. In fact, further studies with a large number of cases are needed to confirm the sensitivity and specificity of TTF-1.
