Abstract

Background: Several trials have reported on whether adjuvant chemotherapy for resected stage IB non-small cell lung cancer is needed. The aim of our study was to investigate prognostic factors for recurrence to help identify patients who should receive adjuvant chemotherapy. Material and Method: We reviewed the cases of 48 stage IB non-small cell lung cancer patients between 1997 and 2006. Disease-free survival and overall survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate analysis was performed with the log rank test and multivariate analysis was done using Cox's proportional hazard model. Result: The median follow-up time was 48 months. The overall survival rate was 55.9%, and the disease-free survival rate was 48.6%. Of 8 variables, two factors, visceral pleural invasion and Iymphovascular invasion, were prognostic factors of disease-free survival (univariate analysis). Visceral pleural invasion was a significant prognostic factor in multivariate analysis, and overall survival in com-pared one or more variable such as visceral pleural invasion or, and lymphovascular invasion with the other variables. Conclusion: Visceral pleural invasion was identified as a poor prognostic factor and it may help select which patients will benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy in addition to more comprehensive follow-up.

배경: 완전 절제된 IB 비소세포암에서 항암요법의 반드시 필요한가에 대한 여러 보고가 있다. 그래서 본 연구는 완전 절제된 IB 비소세포암 환자에서 재발에 관여하는 예후인자를 찾고 항암요법의 필요성을 알아보았다. 대상 및 방법: 1997년부터 2006년까지 모두 48명의 환자를 후향적으로 조사하였다. 전체생존율과 무병생존율을 위해 Kaplan-Meier method를 사용하였고 단변량 분석은 log rank, 다변량 분석은 Cox 회귀모형을 사용하였다. 결과: 추적중앙값은 48개월, 5년 전체생존율은 55.9%, 5년 무병생존율은 48.6%였다. 단변량 분석에서 장측늑막과 임파혈관 침범이 재발에 유의한 인자였고, 다변량분석에서는 장측늑막침범이 예후인자였다. 또한 장측늑막, 임파혈관 침범 중 한 개 이상의 경우, 없는 경우와 비교하여 전체 생존율에서 의미 있는 차이가 있었다. 결론: 장측늑막침범은 재발 및 생존에 관여하는 불량한 예후인자이며, 항암요법이 필요한 환자를 선택할 때 도움 되는 인자로 생각된다.
