Abstract

Purpose : Ovarian dysgerminoma is a highly radiosensitive malignant tumor occurring in young age group. The conventional treatment was total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy followed by radiotherapy. We retrospectively analyzed the treatment results of Patients who had received radiotherapy in the era before chemotherapy was widely used. Material and Method : Twenty two patients with ovarian dysgerminoma were treated at the Department of Therapeutic Radiology, Seoul National University Hospital between August, 1980 and May, 1991. Four patients were excluded from this study, because three patients received incomplete treatment and one received combined chemotherapy. Sixteen patients received postoperative radiotherapy and two patients had radical radiotherapy as tumor was unresectable. Median follow-up period was 99 months (range, 51-178) Median age was 22 years (range, 11-42). Among the postoperatively treated patients, three Patients were in stage IA, eight in stage IC, two in stage II, and three in stage III. One patient had Turner's syndrome. Radiotherapy was performed with high energy photon (telecobalt unit or linear accelerator, either 6MV or 10MV), The radiation dose to the whole abdomen was 1950-2100cGy (median, 2000) and 1050-2520cGy was added to the whole pelvis, the total dose to the whole pelvis was 3000-4500cGy (median, 3500). Prophylactic Paraaortic area irradiation was done in six Patients (dose range, 900-1500cGy). One patient who had positive Paraaortic node, received radiation dose of 1620cGy, followed by additional 900cGy to the gross mass with shrinking field. Total dose to the paraaortic node was 4470cGy. Six patients, including one who had paraaortic node metastasis, received Prophylactic irradiation to mediastinum and supraclavicular area (2520cGy). Of the two patients with unresectable tumors who received radical radiotherapy, one was in stage III and the other was in stage IV with left supraclavicular lymph node metastasis. The stage III patient received radiation to the whole abdomen (2000cGy), followed by boost to whole pelvis (2070cGy) and paraaortic area (2450cGy). Stage IV patient received radiation to the whole abdomen (2000cGy), followed by radiation to the whole pelvis and paraaortic area (2400cGy), mediastinum (2520cGy) , and left supraclavicular area (3550cGy) .Results : The 5 year local control rate was $100\%$ in patients who received postoperative adiuvant radiotherapy after total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Only one patient in stage III who did not receive prophylactic irradiation to mediastinum developed mediastinal metastasis. but was salvaged by chemotherapy. So. the 5 year overall survival rate uras also $100\%$. Two patients who received radiation only, are alive without disease at 112 and 155 months. Conclusion : Postoperntive adjuvant radiotherapy as well as radical radiotherapy in unresectable ovarian dysgerminoma was very effective. aut chemotherapy is also an effective treatment modality We now recomrneifd chemotherapy for Patients who need to save their ovarian functien and reserve radiotherapv fov chemo-resistant tumor or recurrence alter che motherapy.

목적 : 난소 미분화배세포종은 젊은 가임기 여성에 발생하며 방사선에 대한 감수성이 높아 복식자궁전적출술 및 난관난소절제술 후 방사선치료를 시행하는 것이 통상적인 치료 방법이었다. 항암화학요법을 본격적으로 사용하기 이전에 서울내학교병원에서 방사선치료를 받은 환자를 대상으로 친료 성적을 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1980년 8월에서 1991년 5월까지 서울대학교병원 치료방사선과에서 방사선치료를 받은 18명을 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였는데, 16명의 환자는 수술 후 방사선치료를 받았고, 나머지 2명은 근치적 목적으로 방사선치료를 받았다. 수술 후 방사선치료를 받은 환자들의 추적기간은 51개월에서 178개월로 중앙값은 99개월이었다. 연령분포는 11세부터 42세로 중앙값은 22세이었다. 병기별 분포는 IA기 3명, IC기 8명, 11기 2명, 111기 3명이었다. 1명의 환자에서 Turner's syndrome이 동반되어 있었다. 방사선치료는 6 MV와 10 MV 선형가속기나 Co-60 원 격치료장치를 이용하였으며, 전 복부에 1950-2100cGy(중앙값=2000cGy)후 골반부에 1050-2520cGy를 추가하여 골반부에 총 3000-4500cGy(중앙값=3500cGy)를 조사하였다. 5명의 환자에 서는 대동맥임파절 부위에 900-1500cGy를 조사하였고, 대동맥 임파절 전이가 있었던 1명에서는 1620cGy후 전이 부위에 900cGy를 추가하여 총 4470cGy를 조사하였다. 대동맥 임파절 전이가 있었던 1명을 포함한 5명의 환자에서는 종격동 및 쇄골 상부에 2520cGy를 조사하였다. 절제가 불가능하여 방사선치료만 받은 2명의 환자는 111기 1명과 좌측 쇄골상 임파절 전이가 동반된 IV기 1명이었다. III기 환자에서는 전 복부에 2000cGy후 골반부에 2070cGy, 대동맥 임파절에 2450cGy를, IV기 환자에서는 전 복부에 2000cGy후 골반부 및 대동맥 임파절에 2400cGy, 종격동에 2520cGy 그리고 좌측 쇄골 상부에 3550cGy를 조사하였다. 결과 : 난관난소절제술 후 방사선치료를 시행 받은 환자의 5년 국소 치유율은 $100\%$이었으며 종격동 조사를 시행하지 않은 131기 환자 1명에서 종격동 전이가 발생하였으나 항암화학요법으로 치유되어, 전체 환자에서의 5턴 생존율은 $100\%$를 보였다. 방사선치료만 받은 2명의 환자는 각각 112, 155개월간 무병 생존하고 있다. 결론 : 난소 미분화배세포종에 있어서 난관난소절제술 후 방사선치료는 물론 수술이 불가능한 경우의 방사선치료의 완치율은 매우 높았다. 그러나, 방사선만 아니라 항암화학요법에 대한 감수성이 높고 치유율이 높으므로 난소의 기능을 보존할 필요가 있는 경우에는 항암화학요법을 시행하고 항암화학요법에 저항성이 있거나 치료 후에 재발된 경우에 방사선치료를 적용하는 것이 타당할 것이다.
