초록

서론 : 방사성옥소는 갑상선암 환자에서 수술요법과 병용하여 많이 쓰이고 있으나 환자에 따라 방사성옥소 흡수량과 배설량, 암조직의 방사성옥소 섭취율이 차이가 나기 때문에 같은 양을 투여하더라도 치료효과나 부작용이 차이가 날 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 체내 피폭된 물리적 선량을 측정하여 치료효과와 방사선영향의 정도를 비교하였다. 방법 : 수술요법을 시행한 분화된 갑상선암 환자 27명을 대상으로 하여 100mCi 150mCi, 200mCi의 방사성옥소를 투여하고 BEL DOSIMETRY PROTOCOL에 따라 방사선량을 구하고 반대수 용지위에 혈액 리터당 투여량에 대한 백분율의 로그값, 잔류량 백분율과 시간의 관계를 그래프로 그려 베타선량과 감마선량을 구한 뒤 총 물리학적 선량을 구하였다. 결과 : 1) 100mCi 투여군에서 물리적 선량은 평균 $56.54{\pm}13.02$ rad 이었고 150 mCi 투여군에서는 $76.83{\pm}19.97$ rad, 200mCi 투여군에서는 $95.08{\pm}25.51$ rad 이었고 각 평균값 사이에는 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 2) 48시간후 체내 잔류율은 평균 26.34% 이었다. 3) 전이여부와 물리적 선량과의 사이에 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 4) 갑상선 글로불린과 갑상선 자극 호르몬, Thallium scan으로 추적 관찰한 19명중 17명이 치유되었다. 5) 백혈구, 림프구, 호중구, 혈소판 모두 4-6주에 최저치로 감소한뒤 3개월내에 회복되었다. 6) 물리적 선량과 생물학적 선량 사이에 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 결론 : 우리나라에서 수술후 갑상선암의 치료에 통상적으로 사용하는 방사성옥소의 양(100-200mCi)은 일시적 골수부전과 경도의 염색체 이상을 초래하나 혈액내방사선 조사량이 안전용량 범위(200rad)에 속하며 48시간 후 체내잔류량은 서양인과 큰 차이가 없었다.

Radioactive iodine has been widely used in patients with thyroid cancer combined with surgical treatment. However, due to individual variations in absorption and excretion and uptake by tumor tissue of radioactive iodine, there are differences in therapeutic effect and adverse effects even if the same doses are administrated. So this study compared the therapeutic effect and radiation hazard by measuring internal radiation dose. Of total 27 patients with well differentiated thyroid cancer who had been thyroidectomized, we administered radioactive iodine 100 mCi, 150 mCi, 200 mCi. According to BEL DOSIMETRY PROTO-COL, beta and gamma ray dose were estimated from a pelt of the logarithm of the percent of dose per liter of whole blood versus day, and percent dose retained versus day using somilogarithmic paper, respectively. 1) Physical dose to whole blood averaged $56.54{\pm}13.02$ rad in 100 mCi administered group, $76.83{\pm}19.97$ rad in 150 mCi administered group, $95.08{\pm}25.51$ rad in 200 mCi administered group and there has been a significant correlation among the groups. 2) Mean percent dose retained 48 hours later was 26.34%. 3) There was no significant correlation of physical dose between absence and presence of metastasis. 4) 17 of 19 patients who has been followed up with TSH and serum throglobulin, Thallium scan were successfully ablated by radioactive iodine. 5) Leukocyte, lymphocyte, neutrophil, platelet counts all deelined in 4.6 weeks and most of all were restored 3 months later. 6) There was no significant correlation between physical dosimetry and biologic dosimetry. Generally administered doses of radioactive iodine (100-200 mCi) to patients with thyroid cancer postoperatively had developed transient bone marrow suppression and minimal chromosomal aberration, but they were within safety dose to blood (200 rad). And there has been no significant differences in residual dose 48 hours later between Korean and western people.
