The incidence of chemothrapy related among pediatric cancer patient was 90.1%. Adequate oral intake and nutrition have been shown to be important. These consideration prompted the decision to survey by means of a questionaire. The questionaire were included nausea-vomiting peak time, causing factor, coping method, education need, diet pattern change and food preference. Results are fellow 1. Almost(90.1%) pediatric cancer patient experienced nausea-vomiting during chemotherapy and required coping method or reducing method. 2 . The food preference form were Identified. Those were fluid form, cold and small amout and frequentry eating form. The patients preferred noodles, chickens, soap, juice. The results of the survey indicate that nasea-vomiting relief nursing intervention are required pediatric cancer patient received chemotherapy. Health care personnels recognize the pediatric cancer patient's diet pattern and encourage the nutritional counselling. The care of patient should be multidisciplinary team approach and the nurse occupies a key position with in this team, which includes the pediatrician, nutrionist.

From Sept. 1986 to Dec. 1992, seventy three cases of Enneking's stage IIB osteosarcoma of extremities, which were proved histologically, took neoadjuvant chemotherapy and completed our protocol. Their average age was 16.7 years(7 to 57). For neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 37 cases took high dose methotrexate(HDMTX)-adriamycin(ADR)-cisplatin(CDDP) regimen(HDMTX group) and 36 cases took ADR-CDDP(ADR-CDDP group). The average follow up was 17 months(2-63). According to Kaplan-Meier's plot, 5-year continuously disease free survival for whole 73 cases of neoadjuvant group was 45.2%, for HDMTX group 68.4%, for ADR-CDDP group 26.6%. There was significant stastical difference between these two groups(p<0.001), with log-rank test. There can be a different survival according to the chemotherapeutic protocols. Better results can be achieved through refined protocol and effective chemotherapeutic agents.

Liposarcoma is second in frequency only to malignant fibous histocytoma among the soft tissue sarcoma. Many different factors which might affect the survival rate of liposarcoma have been reported by many authors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate survival rate of liposarcoma and define the prognostic factors that affected survival rate. The authors analysed retrospectively 17 patients of liposarcoma in extremities from May 1984 to Dec. 1995 who had been treated in department of orthopaedic surgery of Kosin University Medical Center. All cases were resected with marginal or wide margin. There were 9 men and 8 women. The mean age was 48 years. The follow-up period ranged from 15 to 96 months. We compared the prognosis of the patients with several factors; age, sex, surgical staging, size, site, histologic type and treatment modality. At last follow-up, the presence of local recurrence was in 3 cases and the presence of lung metastasis was in 8 cases. The survival rates by Kaplan-Meier product limit method at 2 years and 5 years were 87% and 57% respectively. The statististically significant difference was estimated in histologic type, but was not estimated in age, sex surgical staging, size, site and treatment modality. In conclusion, the histologic type is considered as the most important factor of the prognosis in liposarcoma. Although it was too few patients for the differences to be statistically significant, we consider that surgical staging, site, size, the radio-therapy and chemothrapy in liposarcoma will affect the prognosis.

Objective : We have currently changed treatment strategies to methotrexate(MTX)-based preirradiation chemotherapy with subsequent planned radiation for the initial therapy of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of treating PCNSL with chemotherapy plus radiotherapy (CRT) or radiotherapy(RT) alone. Method and Material : This study involved 10 females and 3 males patients with a mean age of 54.2 years. All patients underwent surgery, open(8 cases) or stereotactic biopsy(5 cases) for histological diagnosis. Eleven tumors were diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Tumor volume change in the follow-up images and survival time were evaluated in patients treated with CRT and RT alone. In the beginning, two patients received ProMACE-Cytabom chemotherapeutic regimen, but did not complete the course and died of progressive tumor 8 and 9 months after diagnosis, respectively. One patient died at 6 months before chemotherapy. These three were excluded from the survival analysis. Five patients(RT group) completed full courses of cranial irradiation with or without boost. For the current combined modality treatment, high-dose MTXbased chemotherapy(systemic and intrathecal MTX, IV vincristine, and oral procarbazine) followed by whole brain irrdiation to 45Gy to tumor was introduced in 5 patients of CRT group. Result : A complete response was achieved in three of five who received RT only and in all of five who received CRT. All patients in CRT groups are in disease free status at a mean 23 months following therapy. The RT group patients refused any additional salvage therapy at tumor relapse and survived at mean 20 months from diagnosis. The Karnofsky performance status improved in eight of ten patients with treatment. The treatment toxicity included leukoencephalopathy in RT group and severe leukopenia, transient hepatitis, avascular necrosis of femoral head, hearing loss, and amenorrhea in CRT group, respectively. Conclusion : The combined modality therapy of MTX-based chemotherapy plus radiotherapy for PCNSL may enhance tumor response and improve patient survival. The patients who received CRT should be carefully followed up because of the higher risk of treatment-induced late neurotoxicity.

The incidence of oral complications among adult cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy varies from 12 to 80%. Adequate oral hygiene has been shown to be important in prevention of oral complication and an essential role is reserved for the nursing staff. These considerations prompted the decision to survey by means of a questionaire, the nurses who give care to cancer patients. The Questions were included multidisciplinary treatment, inspection skill, nursing intervention, nursing education, problem in mouth care, solution for problem solving. - Results are fellow : 1. A total of 116 of the nurses returned the questionaire 2. According to 88.2% of the respondents, the policy with regard to oral-hygine is determined by the physician and the nurse. 62.1% of nurses do not consult the dentist When oral complication is occured. 3. In only 34.5% of case was a penight used to provide the necessary extra illumination nursing Inspection of oral cavity. 4. Frequency of oral complications observed by the respondents is that they observed complications in < 25% of patients. The nature of the complication varied from ulcer, stomatitis, infection, dry mouth, candidiasis, herpes simplix, bleeding. 5. Percentages of respondents who use the intervention indicated 1) to prevent oral complication : 0.9% normal saline gargling(44%), 0.02% chlorhexidine gargling, oral dressing(38.8%), observation, nutrition, restriction of alcohol and tabaco(23.2%) 2) to deal with the early symptoms 0.9% normal saline gargling (47.4%), cryotherapy(37.9%), 0.02% chlorhexidine gargling(20.7%) 3) to help alleviate severe complications : dental consult, holding the chemotherapy(34.5%), 0.9% normal saline gargling(31.1%), cryotherapy(18.0%) 6. According to 70% of the respondents, insufficient attention is given to oral complication during nursing education classes only 8.6% said that both the theory and the practical aspects had been deal with in sufficient detail during their training. The results of the survey indicate thatoral care in cancer patients undergoing chemothrapy has a number of problem. There are not enough dentist to provide the necessary care for patients undergoing chemotherapy. The expertise of the nurses with respect to the pathogenesis of the complication is limited. In the training of nurses, additional attention to oral examinations and oral hygine is warranted. The care of patients should be the responsibility of a multidisciplinary team approach. The nurse occupies a key position with in this team, which includes the medical oncologist, a dentist.

목적 : 일차성 위장관 악성 림프종은 기장 흔한 림프절외 림프종으로서 치료 방법으로 주로 수술과 수술후 방사선치료 또는 약물치료가 시행되어 왔다. 그러나 빈도수가 낮을뿐만 아니라 체계적인 무작위 비교 연구가 없어 수술후의 치료방침에 대해서는 아직 확립되어 있지 않다. 이에 본 저자들은 위장관에 국한된 악성 림프종의 치료성적 및 예후인자를 분석 고찰하고 그에 따른 생존 분석을 통하여 외과적 절제술후의 적절한 치료방침을 세우는데 도움이 되고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 1976년 1월부터 1991년 4월까지 본원에서 국소적 위장관 악성 림프종으로 진단받고 외과적인 절제술을 시행받은 73명의 환자를 대상으로 치료방법을 포함하여 다변량 예후인자 분석을 시행하고, 치료방법과 예후인자에 따른 치료성적을 비교 분석하였다. 결과 : 전체 환자의 5년 생존율은 62.3%였으며 Ann Arbor 병기 I에서는 86.0%, 병기 II에서는 45.7%였다. 외과적 절제술후에 약물치료의 시행 여부, 병기, 잔류암의 유무가 통계적으로 유의한 독립 예후인자였다. 또한 수술후 방사선치료 또는 약물치료가 시행된 경운에 통계적으로 유의한 생존율의 향상을 나타냈으며 병기 II이거나 수술후 잔류암이 남은 위험군에서는 수술후 방사선치료와 약물치료가 병행 시행되는 경우 가장 좋은 생존율을 보여 주었다. 결론 : 약물치료 여부, 병기, 수술후 잔류암 유무가 중요한 예후인자 였으며 병기 II 또는 수술후 잔류암이 남은 경우를 위험인자로 보았을 때 위험인자가 없는 경우에는 수술후에 방사선치료 또는 약물치료중 어느 한가지만이 시행되어도 충분하며 위험인자를 가지고 있는 경우에는 방사선치료와 약물치료를 병합 시행하는것이 필요하다고 생각된다.
