Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of the various measures available for assessment of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OXLIPN) and to evaluate the measurement properties of each assessment tool. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify existing measures for OXLIPN found in the databases of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, RISS and KoreaMed. The quality of the 24 identified tools was evaluated based on their properties of measurement including content validity, internal consistency, criterion validity, construct validity, reproducibility, responsiveness, floor-ceiling effects and interpretability. Results: Ten (41.7%) of the 24 tools were identified as specific measures for assessing OXLIPN and the most popular type of measures were clinical grading systems by clinicians (58.3%) and only 29.2% of measures were identified as patient reported outcomes. The most frequently used tool was National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC), but the validity of NCI-CTC has not been reported appropriately. Overall, the Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) received the best psychometric scores, and the Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment Tool (CIPNAT) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynaecologic Oncology Group-neurotoxicity-12 (FACT/GOG-Ntx-12) followed NPSI. Conclusion: To select appropriate measure, evidences should be accumulated through the clinical use of tools. Therefore, practitioner and researchers are urged to report relevant statistics required for the validation of the currently used measures for assessment of OXLIPN.

Purpose: Peripheral neuropathy is common among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who undergo oxaliplatin-based (OXL) chemotherapy. A pharmacogenetic approach can be used to identify patients at high-risk of developing severe neuropathy. This type of approach can also help clinicians determine the best treatment option and prevent severe neurotoxicity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the evidence of pharmacogenetic markers for OXL-induced peripheral neuropathy (OXIPN) in patients with CRC. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using the following databases up to December 2017: Pubmed, EMBASE, and CINAHL. We reviewed the genetic risk factors for OXIPN in observational studies and randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs). All processes were performed independently by two reviewers. Results: Sixteen studies published in English between 2006 and 2017 were included in this review. A genome-wide association approach was used in one study and various candidate genes were tested, based on their functions (e.g., DNA damage or repair, ion channels, anti-oxidants, and nerve growth etc.). The genes associated with incidence or severity of OXIPN were ABCG2, GSTP1, XRCC1, TAC1, and ERCC1. Conclusion: This study highlighted the need and the importance of conducting pharmacogenetic studies to generate evidence of personalized OXIPN symptoms management. Additional studies are warranted to accelerate the tailored interventions used for OXIPN in patients with CRC (NRF-2014R1A1A3054386).

목적: 재발했거나 수술이 불가능한 진행성 위암 환자에 있어서 FOIFOX 항암치료의 반응성 및 독성에 대한 초기경험을 조사, 정리하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2006년 4월부터 2007년 8월까지 근치적 위암 절제술 후 재발한 환자 35명과 수술 불가능한 위암으로 처음 진단된 환자 43명을 대상으로 modified FOIFOX-6 항암 치료를 진행하였으며, 그 결과를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 총 78명의 환자를 대상으로 평균 7.1회의 항암치료를 시행하였으며 RECIST 기준에 의한 부분 관해가 11명(14.1%)의 환자에서 관찰되었으며 안정 상태는 35명(44.9%)이었고 진행성 병변은 32명(44%)이었다. 진행성 병변이 나타나는데 걸리는 시간의 중앙값은 6개월이었으며 생존기간의 평균값은 13개월이었다. 독성 평가에서 1, 2등급의 빈혈이 가장 많은 41명의 환자에서 나타났으며 1, 2등급의 혈소판 감소증은 14명의 환자에서 나타났고 20명의 환자에서 1, 2등급의 말초신경독성을 보였다. 13명의 환자에서 진행성 병변에 의해 FOIFOX에서 S1-cisplatin으로 항암제의 교체가 있었으나 평균 1.76회 밖에 진행할 수 없었다. 결론: 59%의 환자에서 안정 상태 이상의 반응을 보였으며 어떠한 3, 4등급의 독성반응도 관찰되지 않았으므로, 수술 불가능하거나 재발한 위암 환자에서 FOLFOX 항암치료는 비교적 무난한 독성과 유리한 생존을 보이는 적절한 1차적 약제 선택으로 생각된다.
