Excising part or all part of a larynx as a cancer operation results in changes that transgress anatomic, physiologic, psychologic, and social priciples. The quality of life of a patient's life after any given cancer surgery usually is regarded as a second-priority consideration after oncologic safety. With laryngeal surgery, excision of malignant disease typically results in change that significantly influence an individual for the duration of his or her life. Nonetheless, with appropriate rehabilitation the surgical side effects can be minimized to allow for an excellent quality of life. Successful conservation surgery for laryngeal cancer requires careful interdependent selection for patients, lesions and procedure. The technical goal is to minimize trauma to uninvolved tissue and to wisely utilized local tissues or tree flap for reconstruction, while insuring for oncologically sound procedure. Rehabilitation should aim to produce a glottal sound source if possible, however voice therapy to promote false vocal fold vibration and arytenoid to epiglottis source of vibration can produce very satisfactory phonatory results.

As the number of cancer patients and its death rate increases, this study is to understand the occurrences in cancer patients in Busan area and to provide active help for treatment, prevention and management of cancer patients. It was investigated and analyzed based on 4462 patients who were diagnosed with cancer and received radiation therapy from Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2012 at tertiary medical institution in Busan area. The seven main cancer types were breast cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, colon rectal cancer, brain tumor, laryngopharyngeal cancer and liver cancer. The most common type of cancer was breast cancer which takes up 38.1% of cancer patients stood out from other cancer types. Breast cancer is that shows increasing trend and in need of appropriate countermeasures and managements for decreasing cancer risk. Therefore the causes and prevention of breast cancer analysis, an appropriate management program is required.

Background: Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors are family of molecules that regulate the cell cycle. The CDKN2, a CDK4 inhibitor, also called p16, has been implicated in human tumorigenesis. The CDKN2 inhibits the cyclin/CDK complexes which regulate the transition from G1 to S phase of cell cycle. There is a previous report that homozygous deletion of CDKN2 region on chromosome 9p21 was detected frequently in astrocytoma, glioma and osteosarcoma, less frequently in lung cancer, leukemia and ovarian cancer, but not detected in colon cancer and neuroblastoma. However, little is known about the relationship between CDKN2 and laryngeal cancer. Therefore this study was initiated to investigate the role of CDKN2 in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma development.1) Materials and methods: We used 5 human laryngeal carcinoma cell lines whether they have deletions or losses of CDKN2 gene expression by DNA-PCR or RT-PCR, respectively. We examined 8 fresh frozen human laryngeal cancer tissues to detect the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of CDKN2. PCR was performed by using microsatellite markers of short arm of human chromosome 9 (D9S126, D9S144, D9S156, D9S161, D9S162, D9S166, D9S171, D9S200 and D9SIFNA). For informative cases, allelic loss was scored if the signal of one allele was significantly decreased in tumor DNA when compared to the same allele in normal DNA. Results: The CDKN2 DNA deletion was observed in 3 cell lines. The CDKN2 mRNA expression was observed in only one cell line, which was very weak. LOH was detected in 7 cases (87.5%). Conclusion: These results suggest that CDKN2 plays a role in the carcinogenesis of human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Cancer of the larynx is the most common malignant neoplasm of head and neck and has a generally favorable prognosis. But its incidences of lymph node metastasis and recurrence depend on the primary site of lesion. Especially, supraglottic carcinoma tends to involve the cervical lymph node with easy. We have analyzed retrospectively 49 cases of supraglottic carcinoma treated surgically with or without radiotherapy from March 1986 to February 1992 at the department of otolaryngology, Pusan National University Hospital to find out the incidence of ipsilateral and contralateral lymph node metastasis and to establish the indication of neck dissection followed by T stage. The incidence to the ispilateral and contralateral cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with lateral (aryepiglottic fold) lesions is higher than that in those with midline (epiglottis) lesion. And average incidence of isplateral lymph node metastasis was 51.0% regardless of T stage. Therefore routine neck dissection should be considered in surgical treatment of supraglottic carcinoma, especially, over T2 stage.

경동맥 파열은 악성 종양으로 인한 두경부 수술의 1-5%에서 발생하고 80%의 사망률과 생존자의 50%에서 신경학적 후유증을 나타낸다. 저자들은 수술전ㆍ후 방사선치료를 받은 환자 2례에서 경동맥파열을 경험하였다. 제 1례는 51세의 남자로서 후두암($T_4$NoMx)으로 후두전적출술과 6120 rad의 수술후 방사선 치료 후 좌측 악하 부위에 악성 종양의 경동맥 침윤으로 시험적 수술후 6일만에 경동맥 파열로 사망하였다. 제 2례는 51세의 남자로서 하인두암($T_3$$N_2$Mx)으로 7200 rad의 수술전 방사선치료후 악성 종양의 재발로 후두전적출술과 일측의 근치적 경부곽청술후 누공을 형성하여 수술후 14일만에 경동맥 파열로 사망하였다.

A multiple primary malignant tumor is a disease mainly encountered in the of the older age groups. Attempts should be made to rule out a second primary malignant neoplasm in the elderly patients with unusual signs and symptoms. We encountered a case of a 67-year-old male with triple primary malignant tumors of the stomach, larynx, and lung. The patient had been treated with a subtotal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer in 1991 and a Laser laryngectomy for the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma in 2003. In 2005, lung cancer was found with the biopsy revealing an adenosquamous carcinoma. Systemic chemotherapy was performed.
