Abstract

Aim: Although solid tumors are known to metastasize to the bone marrow, it is rare to be diagnosed with
bone marrow involvement. In our study, we aimed to contribute to the literature by evaluating the treatment
results and follow-up processes of different solid tumors metastatic to bone marrow in denovo.
Material and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 28 patients who underwent bone marrow biopsy
with a prediagnosis of hematologic malignancy and were diagnosed with carcinoma metastasis.
Clinicopathologic features, antitumor treatments, treatment-related hematologic toxicities and factors
affecting survival were evaluated.
Results: Of the 28 patients included in the study, 14 (50.0%) were female and 14 (50.0%) were male.
The median age of the patients was 62 years (28-82). Eight patients (28.6%) were diagnosed with
breast (28.6%), six with gastric (21.4%), four with lung (14.3%), two each with colon and prostate ca
(7.1%), and the primary tumor site could not be determined in six patients (21.4%). Progression was
observed in four (40.0%) of the 10 patients with the first series of treatment, three (30.0%) patients had
stable response and three (30.0%) patients had partial response. The median progression-free survival
time was 130 days (3-494 days) in patients who received first line treatment. The median overall survival
time was 26 days (0-1183 days). Thrombocytopenia (p<0.05), hypofibrinogenemia (p<0.05), and poor
performance score (p<0.05) were associated with lower survival.
Conclusion: Solid tumor patients diagnosed with denovo bone marrow metastases have a very
poor prognosis. Additional poor prognostic factors in these patients include thrombocytopenia,
hypofibrinogenemia, poor performance status. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of the primary solid tumor
through bone marrow biopsy can help establish an appropriate treatment approach focused on the
primary carcinoma

Denovo Kemik İliği Metastazı ile Prezante Olan Solid Tümörlü Hastaların Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Solid tümörlerin kemik iliği metastazı yaptığı bilinmesine rağmen kemik iliği tutulumu ile tanı
almaları nadir görülmektedir. Çalışmamızda denovo kemik iliği metastatik farklı solid tümörlerin tedavi
sonuçları ve takip süreçlerini değerlendirerek literatüre katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hematolojik malignite ön tanısı ile kemik iliği biyopsisi yapılan ve karsinom metastazı tanısı alan 28 hasta retrospektif
olarak incelendi. Hastaların klinikopatolojik özellikleri, aldıkları antitümör tedaviler, tedavi ilişkili hematolojik toksisiteleri ve sağkalımlarına
etki eden faktörler değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 28 hastanın 14'ü (%50,0) kadın, 14'ü (%50,0) erkekti. Hastaların median yaşı 62 (28-82) idi. Hastaların sekizi
(%28,6) meme, altısı mide (%21,4), dördü akciğer (%14,3), ikişer (%7,1) tanesi de kolon ve prostat ca (%7,1) tanısı almış olup altı hastanın
(%21,4) primer tümör bölgesi belirlenememiştir. Tedavi verilen 10 hastanın dört tanesinde (%40,0) ilk seri tedavi ile progresyon gözlenmiş
olup, üç hastada (%30,0) stabil, üç (%30,0) hastada parsiyel tedavi yanıtı elde edilmiştir. İlk seri tedavi alan hastalarda progresyonsuz
sağkalım süresi median 130 gün (3-494 gün) gözlenmiştir. Hastaların median genel sağkalım süresi 26 gündür (0-1183 gün). Trombositopeni
(p<0,05), hipofibrinojenemi (p<0,05) ve kötü performans skoru (p<0,05) daha düşük sağkalımla ilişkili bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Denovo kemik iliği metastazı ile tanı alan solid tümor hastalarının prognozu çok kötüdür. Bu hastalardaki ek kötü prognostik faktörler
arasında trombositopeni, hipofibrinojenemi, kötü performans durumu sayılabilir. Kemik iliği biyopsisi yoluyla primer solid tümörün doğru ve
hızlı teşhisi ile primer karsinom üzerine odaklanan uygun bir tedavi yaklaşımının oluşturulmasına yardımcı olabilir
