Abstract
We have analysed 13 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice due to metastasis who were treated with local radiation therapy to the area of porta hepatis at the Radiation Therapy Department of Paik Hospital attached to the Inje University between 1984 and 1988. A good response was observed in 6 out of 7 evaluable paitens receiving a total radiation dose ranging from 2600 to 5480 cGy in 2.6 to 6 weeks. A complete response was noted in 5 patients, a partial response in 1 patient, and no response in 1 patient. The overall median survival for 13 patients was 3 months. But two patients lived more than a year without recurrence of jaundice. Moderate dose, localized field radiation therapy appears to the beneficial in relieving obstructive jaundice and gives a good symptomatic relief.
1984년부터 1988년까지 인제대학교 의과대학 치료방사선과에서 전이성 암에의해 발생한 악성 폐쇄성 황달환자 13명을 대상으로 간문을 포함하는 국소방사선치료를 시행하였다. 총 3명의 환자중 추적가능한 7명은 표준 방사선 조사야에 2.6주에서 6주 동안에 걸쳐
