Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) metastases can be seen at a rate of 30% in advanced stages for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Growing evidence indicates the predictive roles of driver gene mutations in the development of brain metastases (BM) in recent years, meaning that oncogene-driven NSCLC have a high incidence of BM at diagnosis. Today, 3rd generation targeted drugs with high intracranial efficacy, which can cross the blood-brain barrier, have made a positive contribution to survival for these patients with an increased propensity to BM. It is important to update the clinical and pathological factors reflected in the survival with real-life data. A multi-center, retrospective database of 306 patients diagnosed with driver mutant NSCLC and initially presented with BM between between November 2008 and September 2022 were analyzed. The median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 12.25 months (95% CI, 10-14.5). While 254 of the patients received tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), 51 patients received chemotherapy as first line treatment. The median intracranial PFS (iPFS) was 18.5 months (95% CI, 14.8-22.2). The median overall survival (OS) was 29 months (95% CI, 25.2-33.0). It was found that having 3 or less BM and absence of extracranial metastases were significantly associated with better mOS and iPFS. The relationship between the size of BM and survival was found to be non-significant. Among patients with advanced NSCLC with de novo BM carrying a driver mutation, long-term progression-free and overall survival can be achieved with the advent of targeted agents with high CNS efficacy with more conservative and localized radiotherapy modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer is a prevalent cancer in men worldwide, and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is characterized by disease progression despite androgen deprivation therapy. While clinical and prognostic biomarkers have been identified in CRPC, the significance of serum inflammatory markers remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 79 CRPC patients treated with abiraterone or enzalutamide. Inflammatory markers, including the modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), were assessed as predictive tools for treatment response. Patient data were obtained from medical charts, and statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 67 years, with most having a Gleason score of 8-10. The median values for NLR, PLR, and SII were 2.9, 168.5, and 713.5, respectively. The objective response rate (ORR) to abiraterone or enzalutamide therapy was 55.1%. mGPS showed a significant association with ORR, with the mGPS 0 group having the highest response rate (59.5%). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12.8 months, and median overall survival (OS) was 35.4 months. Palliative radiotherapy during therapy and PSA doubling time were independent prognostic factors for PFS. CONCLUSIONS mGPS and PSA doubling time significantly impacted survival, and mGPS significantly predicted the treatment response in mCRPC, which may lead to further prospective studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prognostic utility of inflammation-based prognostic scores in patients with ALK-positive metastatic or non-resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with crizotinib. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 82 patients with ALK-positive metastatic or non-resectable NSCLC who received ALK TKI crizotinib were included. Pre-treatment modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were calculated. Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the impact of pretreatment mGPS, PNI, and SII on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR). RESULTS The ORR was 77.2%, while 1-year OS and PFS rates were 95.0% and 93.5%, respectively. The univariate analysis revealed significantly higher 1-year PFS (89.4 vs. 64.4%, p=0.043) and OS (92.0 vs. 83.3%, p=0.01) rates in patients with low (<934.7) vs. high (≥934.7) SII scores. Multivariate analysis revealed that PNI ≥0.09 was a significant determinant of poorer 1-year OS rates (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.88-4.85, p=0.035). No significant difference was observed in survival rates according to gender, age, smoking status, prior lines of therapy, or mGPS scores, while higher mGPS scores (odds ratio [OR]: 0.1, 95%CI 0.16-1.04; p=0.009) and higher PNI scores (OR: 0.16, 95% CI 0.02-0.55; p=0.035) were associated with poorer ORR. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate the prognostic significance of PNI and SII in terms of survival outcome and the impact of mGPS and PNI on treatment response in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC treated with crizotinib.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) often exhibits elevated Secreted Protein Acidic and Cysteine-Rich (SPARC) expression. In this study, we investigated the impact of SPARC expression on clinicopathologic features, pembrolizumab response, and prognosis in metastatic NSCLC patients. METHODS Thirty-six patients diagnosed with metastatic NSCLC without actionable driver mutation and who received pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy were included in this study. PD-L1 and SPARC expression were evaluated, with PD-L1 expression categorized based on tumor proportion score and SPARC staining intensity graded as 1+, 2+, and 3 +. Patients' characteristics were compared across groups, and possible predictive markers were determined by binary logistic regression analysis. RESULTS No significant associations were found between SPARC expression and smoking status, histopathological tumor type, T and N status, and liver and bone metastasis. Higher SPARC expression was significantly linked to lower brain metastasis rates but higher CNS progression rates (p = 0.022 and p = 0.011, respectively. The objective response rate (ORR) showed a trend of being higher in the SPARC 1 + group (85.7% vs. 43.8% and 50.0% in 2 + and 3 + groups, respectively, p = 0.052. Univariate analysis did not find SPARC expression to be a significant prognostic factor for progression-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.7) and overall survival (OS) (p = 0.07).SPARC 1 + expression negatively affected the pembrolizumab response(p = 0.04,OR:0.11, 95%CI 0.01-0.92). CONCLUSIONS Our study sheds light on a novel aspect of SPARC expression as a potential predictor of pembrolizumab response and a marker for CNS progression in metastatic NSCLC patients treated in the first-line setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Colorectal cancer is common worldwide, and adjuvant treatment's benefit is still controversial. We designed this study to determine the role of MSI and CDX-2 status determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) combined with the inflammatory markers and pathological parameters in predicting disease recurrence in stage II and III colon cancer. METHODS A total of 226 stage II/III colon cancer patients with a median age of 59 years who underwent initial surgery were included in this retrospective study. The pathologic assessment of MSI and CDX-2 was performed twice by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and two different pathologists. No staining/weak staining below 10% of the tumor was accepted as CDX-2 negative, and any MSI clones with weak staining below 10% were accepted as MSI-H. The laboratory parameters were noted at the initial diagnosis. RESULTS One hundred twenty-one and 105 patients were diagnosed with stage III and II colon cancer. 58.0% of patients were male, 46 (20.4%) of tumor tissue were MSS, and 17 (7.5%) were CDX-2 negative. One hundred twenty-nine tumors were localized in the right colon. Disease recurrence was significantly correlated with tumor localization, CDX-2 status, stage at diagnosis, and preoperatively median CRP and CEA levels. DFS rates for MSS patients with CDX-2 negative and positive were 36.7% and 98.1%, respectively [p < 0.001]. There was no significant correlation between MSI status and CDX-2 status. MSI status, the presence of adjuvant treatment, and systemic inflammatory markers were not significant prognostic factors for DFS. CDX-2 status [HR:0.08, CI 95% 0.03-0.17, p < 0.001 HR: 1.7, CI 95% 1.1-3.0, p = 0.03], disease stage [HR:2.6, CI 95% 1.43-4.74], and preoperatively CEA levels [HR:4.1 CI 95% 2.18-785, p < 0.001 were independent significant prognostic factors for DFS. CONCLUSION CDX-2 loss was an independent prognostic factor for DFS and disease recurrence in early-stage colon cancer. MSS patients with CDX-2 loss had significantly worse survival outcomes, and this might be the reason for deciding on adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most of the studies on salivary gland cancers are limited for various reasons such as being single-center, small number of patients, including only major or minor SGCs, or only including epidemiological data. METHODS A total of 37 medical oncology clinics from different regions of Turkey participated in this retrospective-multicenter study. The analyzed data included clinical and demographical features, primary treatment, metastasis localizations, and treatments and includes certain pathologic features. RESULTS The study included data from a total of 443 SGCs. 56.7% was in major salivary glands and 43.3% was in minor salivary glands. Distant metastasis in the major SGCs was statistically significantly more common than in the minor SGCs, locoregional recurrence was statistically significantly more common in the minor SGCs than in the major SGCs (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Epidemiological information, metastasis and recurrence patterns, treatment modalities, and survival analysis of the patients over 20 years of follow-up are presented.

Abstract
Atezolizumab is now the standard treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Herein, we investigated the prognostic role of inflammatory markers in patients treated with atezolizumab plus chemotherapy and evaluated the efficacy and safety of adding atezolizumab to chemotherapy for patients with ES-SCLC and prognostic and predictive factors as a real-life experience. This retrospective study included 55 patients who received front-line atezolizumab with etoposide plus platin regimen for ES-SCLC. We analyzed the survival outcomes and factors that may predict response and survival. The objective response rate (ORR) was 81.8%. At a median follow-up of 23.5 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 10.8 months, and the median overall survival (OS) time was 15.2 months. In univariate analysis for PFS, limited-stage disease at the time of diagnosis, the presence of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI), the presence of liver metastasis, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were found to be prognostic factors (P = .041, P = .034, P = .031, P = .004, and P = <.001, respectively). In other words, while the median PFS time was 14.1 months in patients with PLR ≤ 135.7, it was 7.5 months in patients with > 135.7. Similarly, median PFS was 14.9 months in patients with NLR ≤ 3.43, while it was 9.6 months in patients with > 3.43. Univariate analysis for OS revealed that limited stage at the time of diagnosis, NLR and PLR were significant prognostic indicators (P = .01, P = .006, and P = .007, respectively). Median OS time for patients with both NLR ≤ 3.43 and PLR ≤ 135.7 was significantly better than that of patients with NLR > 3.43 and PLR > 135.7 (16.9 vs 11.3 and 16.9 vs 11.5 months, respectively). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that PLR was an independent significant predictive factor for the response to atezolizumab plus chemotherapy (OR: 0.07, P = .028). The patients with PLR ≤ 135.7 were significantly good responders to atezolizumab plus chemotherapy treatment. Real-life data demonstrated a significant correlation between survival and NLR and, PLR in ES-SCLC patients treated with atezolizumab. In addition, PLR was a significant predictive indicator of response to atezolizumab plus chemotherapy.

Abstract
Aims The addition of aflibercept to the fluorouracil and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) regimen significantly improved clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) previously treated with oxaliplatin. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of second-line FOLFIRI and aflibercept combination in patients with metastatic CRC in real-life experience. Materials and Methods Four hundred and thirty-three patients who treated with FOLFIRI and aflibercept in the second-line were included in the study. The clinical and pathological features of the patients were recorded retrospectively. Survival (overall and progression-free survival [PFS]), response rates, and safety data were analyzed. Results The median age was 61. Majority of patients (87.5%) received first-line bevacizumab and 10.1% of patients received anti-epidermal growth factor receptor agents. About 80% of patients had KRAS, 18.6% of patients had NRAS, and 6.4% of patients had BRAF mutations. The median OS was 11.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 10.6-12.6) and the median PFS was 6 months (95% CI, 5.5-6.5). About 4.6% of patients had complete response and 30.6% of patients had partial response as best tumor response. Grade 1-2 toxicities were seen in 33.4% of patients, while grade 3-4 toxicities were recorded in 27% of patients. Eight patients (2%) died due to treatment toxicity. Conclusions Overall and PFS were similar in routine clinical practice compared to phase III pivotal VELOUR trial. However, response rates were found to be higher. It was observed that there were fewer adverse events compared to the VELOUR trial.

Abstract
Purpose Patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) should be treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Pathological complete response (pCR) is related to better disease-free survival (DFS). The best strategy for assessing the efficacy of NAC has not been established yet, but several studies have shown that 18F-FDG PET/CT is a potential imaging tool for assessing pCR. The aim of this study is to investigate the merits of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in predicting pCR in both axillary and breast tissue and to establish a threshold maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) for predicting the response after completion of NAC. Methods A total of 186 LABC patients, treated with an NAC regimen according to tumor subtype, were retrospectively analyzed in this study. All patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging before and after completion of NAC. PET parameters were measured in the most FDG avid breast tissue and axillary lymph nodes. We analyzed the correlation between the tumor SUVmax of the PET/CT response and the pCR after surgery. DFS was also evaluated with respect to pCR. Results Higher pCR rates were significantly associated with a higher tumor grade, an initial Ki-67 ≥20% (p = 0.03 and p = 0.003, respectively), a triple-negative subtype (32.9%), and a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2)-positive subtype (24.7%) (p < 0.001). There was a significant correlation between the pCR and a complete response in 18F-FDG PET/CT (p < 0.001). The overall sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT to determine the pCR after NAC were 100%, 72.2%, 85%, 75.2%, and 100%, respectively. We demonstrated a 1.1 cutoff SUVmax for breast tumors after NAC (OR: 3.94, 95% CI: 1.14-5.05, p = 0.004), the 18F-FDG PET/CT response to NAC (OR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.25-0.99, p = 0.003), and the molecular subtype of breast tumors (OR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.38-0.88, p = 0.011). Conclusion Our results confirm that 18F-FDG PET/CT is a useful method for predicting the NAC response in LABC.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive and prognostic value of PLR, and the relationship between PLR and tumor localization.A total of 229 patients with de-novo metastatic CRC were retrospectively analyzed. The cutoff value for PLR was defined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and threshold value of 196.5 as best cut-off value was found.The higher rate of BRAF mutation was significantly detected for patients with PLRhigh (> 196.5) compared to those with PLRlow (≤196.5) (P = .001). PLR was significantly higher in tumors located on the right colon (P = .012). PLR, tumor localization, the presence of surgery for primary tumor, the presence of curative surgery, the presence of metastasectomy for progression-free survival (PFS) and PLR, gender, BRAF mutation, tumor localization, the presence of surgery for primary tumor, the presence of metastasectomy for overall survival (OS) were found to be prognostic factors by univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis showed that PLR, the presence of curative surgery and the presence of metastasectomy for both PFS and OS were found to be independent prognostic factors. Moreover, a logistic regression analysis indicated that PLR and tumor localization were found to be an independent factors for predicting response to systemic treatment (P < .001 and P = .023 respectively).Our results showed that pretreatment PLR was readily feasible and simple biomarker predicting response to treatment and survival, in addition it was significantly associated with tumor localization.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value,and the effect of primary tumor location on targeted therapy selection in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). METHODS A total of 201 patients with de novo mCRC who received first line treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Clinicopathological features, treatment outcomes, the primary tumor surgery, metastasectomies/local therapies and survivals were evaluated in terms of both RAS mutation status and primary tumor sidedness. RESULTS Tumor localization showed 140 (69.7%) patients with left-sided and 61 (30.3%) with right-sided tumors. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly shorter in patients with right-sided tumor than those with left-sided tumors (10.1 vs 12.9 months, p=0.005; 25 vs 44.4 months, p=0.008, respectively). In addition,the median OS interval of patients receiving anti-VEGF containing regimen was better than those treated with anti-EGFR containing regimen (50.7 vs. 26.9 months, p=0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that age (HR:0.41,p=0.045), primary tumor resection (HR:0.41,p=0.037) and primary tumor localization (HR:0.38,p=0.021) for PFS and age (HR:0.39, p=0.09), the presence of BRAF mutation (HR:0.59,p=0.019) and the type of targeted therapy (HR:3.16,p=0.025) for OS were independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that primary tumor location is a prognostic factor in mCRC patients regardless of RAS status. Primary tumor location before treatment decision may be a simple indicator predicting survival and in choosing targeted agent.

Abstract
AIM The aim was to investigate the RAS discordance between initial and recurrent metastasectomy specimens in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients treated with chemotherapy (CT) plus biological agents in a first-line setting. METHODS Patients who had been treated with CT plus bevacizumab or cetuximab or panitumumab followed by R0 resection for potentially resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases were scanned. Among these, patients who developed resectable new metastases after a disease-free interval longer than 6 months were included in the study. We compared the RAS mutation status between the first biopsy and the second metastasectomy specimen. RESULTS A total of 82 mCRC patients treated with CT plus biological agents in a first-line setting were included in the study. The first biopsy assessment showed wild-type RAS tumours in 39 (47.6%) patients and mutant RAS tumours in 43 (52.4%) patients. The mean time for new operable liver metastasis after R0 resection was 15.5 months. In the second metastasectomy specimens, the numbers of wild-type and mutant RAS tumours were 30 (36.6%) and 52 (63.4%), respectively. The comparison with the first biopsy specimens showed RAS status conversions in 17 (20.7%) patients. Univariate comparison between patients with and without RAS status conversion revealed that grade, pathological T stage, wild-type RAS tumour and longer biological agent use time in the first-line treatment were significant factors for RAS conversion. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that re-biopsy is needed for an optimal second-line treatment decision in mCRC patients regardless of backbone biological agent, especially in patients with wild-type RAS mCRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymph node involvement is an important prognostic factor in patients with gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of metastatic lymph node ratio (MLNR) and compare it to the number of lymph node metastasis in pN3 gastric cancer. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 207 patients with pN3 gastric cancer who had undergone radical gastrectomy. Prognostic factors and MLNR were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS An MLNR of 0.75 was found to be the best cut-off value to determine the prognosis of patients with pN3 gastric cancer (p = 0.001). The MLNR was significantly higher in patients with large-sized and undifferentiated tumors, vascular, lymphatic and perineural invasion, and total gastrectomy. In multivariate analysis, MLNR (p = 0.041), tumor differentiation (p = 0.046), and vascular invasion (p = 0.012) were found to be independent prognostic factors for disease-free survival, while both MLNR (p < 0.001) and pN stage (p = 0.002) were independent prognostic indicators, as was tumor size, for overall survival. There was significant difference with respect to the recurrence patterns between MLNR groups. Lymph node and peritoneal recurrences were significantly higher in patients with MLNR > 0.75 compared to the MLNR < 0.75 group (p < 0.05). However, recurrence patterns were similar between pN3a and pN3b. CONCLUSION Our results showed that MLNR was a useful indicator to determine the prognosis and recurrence patterns of patients with radically resected gastric cancer. Moreover, MLNR is a beneficial and reliable technique for evaluating lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
Paraneoplastic neurological syndrome is associated with anti-Ri antibodies, which are typically present with opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression is present in 15%-25% of breast cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. There are a few reports of paraneoplastic neurological syndrome associated with HER2-positive breast cancer in the literature, of which most are anti-Yo-associated paraneoplastic neurological syndrome. We present herein the case of a female patient with HER2-positive breast cancer who had atypical anti-Ri antibody associated with opsoclonus-myoclonus paraneoplastic neurological syndrome. Following the diagnosis of paraneoplastic syndrome, chemotherapy with dual HER2 blockade and immunomodulating treatment including intravenous immunoglobulin and oral prednisolone were administered. Although the patient was negative for serum anti-Ri antibodies, there was partial clinical improvement and her neurological deficit persisted. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of female patient with HER2-positive breast cancer who had atypical anti-Ri antibody associated with opsoclonus-myoclonus paraneoplastic neurological syndrome and treated with dual HER2 blockade.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate platelet functions and measure soluble CD40 ligand, soluble P-selectin, beta-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 levels in the blood of heterozygous beta thalassemia patients. METHODS The cross-sectional case-control study was conducted at Bezmialem Vakif University, Istanbul, Turkey, between September 2013 and April 2014, and comprised heterozygous beta thalassemia patients who were compared with 41 gender-, age- and body mass index-matched controls for platelet function markers. The two groups were also compared for co-morbidities, smoking, and regular medications. RESULTS Of the 78(78.78) subjects, 50(64%) were women and 28(36%) men with an overall mean age of 39.4±12.7 years (range: 18-79 years). The mean body mass index was 26.3±4.2. The heterozygous beta thalassemia group included 37(47%) subjects [24(65%) females; 13(35%) males] while the control group had 41(53%) [26(63%) females; 15(37%) males]. Soluble CD40 ligand and soluble P-selectin were lower in the heterozygous beta thalassemia group (p=0.009; p=0.010). Beta-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 levels were comparable between the groups (p=0.497; p=0.507.). CONCLUSIONS Some platelet functions may be reduced in heterozygous beta thalassemia patients, which may be related to their lower incidence of cerebral and cardiac ischaemic events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate bone resorption and formation markers as well as bone mineral density in women with restless legs syndrome (RLS). METHODS This was a prospective cross-sectional case-control study involving drug-naive women with RLS and age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched female controls. Routine blood analyses, markers of bone formation, procollagen 1 n-terminal peptide, bone resorption, c-telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX), sclerostin, and bone mineral density (BMD) were compared between the 2 groups. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals with comorbidities other than iron deficiency, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or hypertension were excluded. RESULTS A significant increase in lumbar BMD was found among 78 women with RLS as compared to 78 age- and BMI-matched controls (p = 0.001). The proportion of patients with osteopenia as defined by a lumbar T score was significantly lower among patients with RLS (p = 0.040). CTX and sclerostin were significantly lower in patients with RLS (p = 0.006 and p = 0.011, respectively), as were the levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3, calcemia, and free T3 (p = 0.017, p = 0.017, and p = 0.002, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Despite lower 25-hydroxy vitamin D3, patients with RLS had lower bone resorption markers, higher lumbar BMD, and lower frequency of lumbar osteopenia. As patients with RLS make movements night and day to decrease the severity of their symptoms, they unconsciously perform exercise, which may potentially explain the better bone profile among patients with RLS than in controls.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Colonic wall thickening is a common condition in a number of benignant and malignant diseases. This study investigated the accuracy of radiological diagnoses in patients diagnosed with colonic wall thickening using multislice CT (MDCT). MATERIALS AND METHOD Files of patients with colonic wall thickening diagnosed with 64-slice MDCT were reviewed retrospectively. The colonoscopy results of these patients were grouped under neoplastic process (cancer and adenomatous polyp), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diverticulitis and other etiology (nonspecific events, ischemic colitis, solitary rectal ulcer, external compression, secondary to volvulus and radiotherapy), and the results were statistically evaluated. p values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS The study was performed on 505 files (290 males [57.4%], 215 females [42.6%], mean age: 49.15 ± 18.4 years). CT and colonoscopic diagnoses were reviewed and the following CT to colonoscopy ratios was observed: neoplastic process: 44.4% vs. 40.2%; IBD: 42.4% vs. 42.4%; diverticulitis: 4% vs. 4.2%; other etiology: 9.3% vs. 3.2%. Colonoscopy failed to identify pathology in 9.9% of the patients. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of CT were 95.6%, 90.4%, 87.1%, 96.8% and 92.4%, respectively, in detecting neoplastic processes; 97.2%, 97.9%, 97.2%, 97.9% and 97.6%, respectively, in detecting IBD; 90.5%, 99.8%, 95%, 99.6% and 99.4%, respectively, in detecting diverticulitis, and 50%, 96,7%, 62.5%, 94.6% and 92%, respectively, in detecting other etiology. CONCLUSION While, accuracy of 64 slice-CT in diagnosing colonic wall thickenings secondary especially to neoplastic processes, IBD and diverticulitis was significantly higher, but differential diagnosis is challenging in pathologies due to other etiologies.
