Abstract

Aim: Cancer patients have a high risk of thromboembolic disease. Although the increased levels of tissue factor (TF) in cancer patients have been reported in various studies, the effect of hormonal therapy i.e. tamoxifen on this manner has not been illuminated yet. Method: In this pilot study, ten patients with localized breast cancer receiving adjuvant tamoxifen were studied for plasma tissue factor levels by the ELISA method, and test results were compared with the results of ten patients with localized breast cancer who not receiving adjuvant tamoxifen treatment. Results: There was a slightly increase of plasma tissue factor levels in tamoxifen terated group compared with control group, but this increase was not statistically significant. Mean plasma TF level of the tamoxifen treated group was 63,87 pg/ml SEM23,63) (range 12,59to267,ll)andofthecontrolgroupwas42,83 pg/ml SEM7.56) (range 5,43 to 78,88). No thrombotic complications were observed in both groups. Conclusion: According to these results, it is not possible to say that tamoxifen treatment can lead to the increase in plasma tissue factor levels and thereby hypercoagulability in patients with breast cancer. Further studies including more patients are needed to show the difference between two arms.

Özet

Amaç: Kanser hastaları tromboembolik olaylar açısından yüksek riske sahiptir. Kanserli hastalarda artmış doku faktörü düzeyleri rapor edilmesine rağmen tamoksifen gibi hormonal tedavilerin bu konudaki etkisi henüz netleştirilememiştir. Yöntem: Bu pilot çalışmada, adjuvan hormonal tedavi olarak tamoksifen alan erken evre meme kanserli 10 hastada prospektif olarak, ELISA yöntemiyle plazma doku faktörü düzeyleri ölçülmüş ve tamoksifen almayan erken evrememekanserli 10 hastanın plazma doku faktörü düzeyleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır.Bulgular: Kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında, tamoksifen ile tedavi edilen grupta plazma doku faktörü düzeylerinde hafif yükseklik gözlendi. Ancak bu yükseklik istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p=0.5). Tamoksifen ile tedavi edilen grupta ortalama plazma doku faktörü düzeyi 63,87 pg/ml ± SEM 23,63 (12,59- 267,11) iken kontrol grubunda 42,83 pg/ml ± SEM 7,56 ( 5,43-78,88) idi. Grupta hiçbir hastada trombotik komplikasyon gözlenmedi.Sonuç: Mevcut sonuçlarla tamoksifen alan erken evre meme kanserli hastalarda izlenebilen trombotik komplikasyonların gelişiminde doku faktörünün de rolü olabilir demek mümkün değildir, daha fazla hasta içeren çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
