Abstract:

 Objective Ovarian borderline tumors OBTs are an intermediate type of ovarian neoplasm. Ovarian mucinous borderline tumors MBT are the second most common subtype of OBT. Because of their uncertain pathogenesis and biological behaviour they cannot be classified clearly into benign and malign categories. There is a need to identify a parameter that provides more prog- nostic information about the clinical course and can be evaluated easily in routine practice. Ki67 is a routinely used immunohistochemical marker that is strongly associated with cellular proliferation, including tumor cells. We aimed in this study to evaluate the prognostic significance and to determine prognostic cut-off value of Ki67 counting in the MBTs and to investigate its relationship with clinicopathologic features, recurrence, and long term survival status and also to provide more information to the literature. Material and Method A total of 20 cases diagnosed with ovarian mucinous borderline tumors were identified. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on the most representative sample of the tumor. Positive signal was nuclear and it was evaluated by two pathologists. Results Ki67 proliferating index P.I value with a median of 151-47 and a mean of 16 Ki67 P.I. reached statistically significance at 20 cut-off value with progression and at 30 cut-off value with 5-year OS. p0.021 and p0.032, respectively. Although the Ki67 P.I. tended to increase with age, there was no statistical association between Kİ67 P.I. and other clinicopathological parameters including tumor size, laterality, capsule integrity, intraepithelial carcinoma and focal atypia. Conclusion In our study, recurrence was more frequent when Ki67 was greater than 20, and 5-year survival was lower when Ki67 was greater than 30, suggesting that the Ki67 index was associated with a more aggressive course and death. Therefore, we predicted that Ki 67 would be useful in determining the frequency of follow-up of patients and predicting their prognosis. However, we think that this result should be supported by larger series.

 Amaç Overin müsinöz borderline tümörleri MBT, borderline over tümörlerinin en sık görülen ikinci alt tipidir. Belirsiz patogenezleri ve biyolojik davranışları nedeniyle, benign veya malign kategorilere açıkça sınıflandırılamadıkları için klinik seyir hakkında daha prognostik bilgi sağlayan ve rutin pratikte kolaylıkla değerlendirilebilecek bir parametrenin belirlenmesine ihtiyaç vardır. Ki67, tümör hücreleri de dahil olmak üzere hücresel proliferasyonla güçlü bir şekilde ilişkili olan ve rutin olarak kullanılan bir immünohistokimyasal belirteçtir. Bu çalışmada MBTlerde Ki67 sayımının prognostik önemini değerlendirmeyi ve prognostik eşik değerini belirlemeyi ve klinikopatolojik özellikleri, nüks ve uzun süreli sağkalım durumu ile ilişkisini araştırmayı ve ayrıca literatüre daha fazla bilgi sağlamayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem Müsinöz borderline over tümörü tanısı koyulan toplam 20 vaka çalışmaya alındı. Tümörü en iyi temsil eden örnek üzerinde immünohistokimyasal çalışmalar yapıldı. Nükleer boyanma pozitif kabul edildi ve iki patolog tarafından değerlendirildi Bulgular Ki67 proliferasyon indeksi P.I medyan 15 1-47 ve ortalama 16dır. Ki67 P.I. progresyonla 20 eşik değerinde ve 5 yıllık OS ile 30 eşik değerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlılığa ulaştı. sırasıyla p0.021 ve p0.032. Ki67 P.I. yaşla birlikte artma eğilimindeydi. Kİ67 P.I. ile tümör boyutu, lateralite, kapsül bütünlüğü, intraepitelyal karsinom ve fokal atipi dahil olmak üzere diğer klinikopatolojik parametreler arasında istatistiksel bir ilişki yoktu. Sonuç Çalışmamızda Ki67 20den yüksek olduğunda nüksün daha sık oluşu, Ki67 30dan yüksek olduğunda 5 yıllık sağkalımın daha düşük oluşu Ki67 indeksinin daha agresif seyir ve ölüm ile ilişkili olduğunu düşündürdü. Bu nedenle Ki 67nin hastaların takip sıklığını belirlemede ve prognozlarını tahmin etmede faydalı olacağını öngördük. Ancak bu sonucun daha geniş seriler ile desteklenmesi gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
