Abstract

Background: Surgical resection is a standard treatment for pulmonary metastases in patients with osteosarcoma, but the role of performing repeated resections is not clear. This study was designed to clarify the feasibility of performing a repeated pulmonary metastasectomy and the prognostic factors for pulmonary metastases in patients with osteosarcoma. Material and Method: Between January 1990 and July 2005, 62 patients with osteosarcoma were diagnosed with pulmonary metastases and 36 patients underwent pulmonary resection. We reviewed the patients retrospectively. Result: The total number of pulmonary metastasectomies was 62 in 30 patients. Among 36 patients, 18 had a second metastasectomy, 7 had a third metastasectomy, and one patient had a fourth metastasectomy. There was no distinctive difference between the first and second metastatectomy in terms of median survival time, and the 3-year and 5-year survival rate (first resection: 20.5 months, 32.0% and 29,4%; second resection: 11.3 months, 34.9% and 34.%). However, the median survival time (7.1 months) was shorter in patients with a third metastatectomy than in patients with one metastatectomy (p=0.01). In long-term survivors, the number of female patients, patients with a disease free time longer than 12 months, patients with a single metastasis and patients with anatomic resection was larger when compared to non-long term survivors, but showed no statistical significance. Conclusion: Repeated pulmonary metastasectomy is expected to prolong survival time in patients with osteosarcoma, and is expected to increase long-term survival in selected cases. Further studies with a large number of patients are necessary.

배경: 골육종 환자의 폐전이는 외과적 절제술이 표준치료로 인정되고 있으나 반복적인 폐전이에 대한 절제술의 역할은 아직 정립되어 있지 않다. 저자들은 폐전이를 보인 골육종 환자에서 반복적인 폐전이 절제술의 생존율과 예후인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년 1월부터 2005년 7월까지 골육종 폐전이를 진단받은 62명의 환자 중 폐전이 절제술을 시행받은 36명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 연구를 진행하였다. 결과: 36명의 환자에서 모두 62회의 폐전이 절제술을 시행했으며 18명에서 2차 폐전이 절제술을, 7명에서 3차 폐전이 절제술을, 1명에서 4차 폐전이 절제술을 시행하였다. 1차 폐전이 절제술 후 중앙 생존기간은 20.5개월, 3년 및 5년 생존율은 32.6% 및 29.4%로, 2차 폐전이절제술 후의 중앙생존기간 11.3개월, 3년 및 5년 생존율 34.9% 및 34.9%와 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 3차 폐전이 절제술 후 중앙 생존기간은 7.1개월로 유의하게 짧았다(p=0.01). 장기 생존한 군에서 비-장기 생존자에 비해 여성, 무병생존기간이 12개월 이상, 단일 전이 병소, 구역절제술 이상의 수술이 많았으나 통계학적 차이는 없었다. 결론: 골육종 환자에서 반복적인 폐전이 절제술은 유용한 치료방법이라 생각되며, 일부 환자에서는 장기 생존을 기대할 수 있었다. 예후인자에 대하여는 향후 더 많은 수의 환자를 대상으로 하는 추가적인 연구가 필요하리라 생각한다.
