  • Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological prognostic factors affecting the survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients with OSCC who received treatment at the Oral Oncology Clinic of the National Cancer Center (NCC) from June 2001 to December 2020. The patients' sex, age, primary site, T stage, node metastasis, TNM staging, perineural invasion (PNI), lymphovascular invasion (LVI), differentiation, surgical resection margin, smoking, and drinking habits were investigated to analyze risk factors. For the univariate analysis, a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank test were used. Additionally, for the multivariable analysis, a Cox proportional hazard model analysis was used. For both analyses, statistical significance was considered when P<0.05. Results: During the investigation period, 407 patients were received surgical treatment at the NCC. Their overall survival rate (OS) for five years was 70.7%, and the disease-free survival rate (DFS) was 60.6%. The multivariable analysis revealed that node metastasis, PNI, and differentiation were significantly associated with poor OS. For DFS, PNI and differentiation were associated with poor survival rates. Conclusion: In patients with OSCC, cervical node metastasis, PNI, and differentiation should be considered important prognostic factors for postoperative survival.

  • Objective: To analyze the efficacy and survival associated factors of gefitinib combined with cisplatin and gemcitabine for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 57 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), who received platinum-based chemotherapy regimens for more than 1 cycle, were treated with gefitinib combined with cisplatin and gemcitabine until disease progression. Efficacy, survival time and adverse reactions were observed. The Kaplan-Meier method was adopted for analysis of survival and Cox regression for associated influencing factors. Results: The patients were followed up until October 31, 2013, and the median follow-up time was 19 months. Of 57 patients, there were 4 (7.0%) with complete remission (CR), 8 (14.0%) with partial remission, 31 (54.4%) with stable disease, and 14 (24.6%) with disease progression. The remission rate was 21.1% and the disease control rate was 75.4%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) time and the median overall survival time were 10 months and 15.2 months. The one-year, two-year and three-year survival rates were 47.4%, 23.3% and 10.0%. Gender and pathological types were the independent risk factors influencing PFS time (P=0.028, P=0.009). Tumor pathological type and early efficacy were independent factors for the prognosis (P=0.018, P=0.000). Adverse reactions were mostly rashes of I~II degree and diarrhea and slightly increasing level of aminopherase. The skin adverse event incidence of III degree or above was 1.8% (1/57) and brain metastasis was foudn in 31.6% (18/57). Conclusions: Gefitinib combined with cisplatin andgemcitabine, is effective for patients with IIIb~IV NSCLC who received multiple cycles of chemotherapy.

  • Background: The experience of a single-institution regarding surgery for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) was reviewed to evaluate the surgical outcomes and prognoses. Materials and Methods: From July 1990 to December 2009, thirty-four patients (28 male) underwent major pulmonary resection and lymph node dissection for SCLC. Lobectomy was performed in 24 patients, pneumonectomy in eight, bilobectomy in one, and segmentectomy in one. Surgical complications, mortality, the disease-free survival (DFS) rate, and the overall survival rate were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The median follow-up period was 26 months (range, 4 to 241 months), and there was one surgical mortality (2.9%). Six patients (17.6%) experienced recurrence, all of which were systemic. Eight patients died during follow-up; four died of disease progression and the other four died of pneumonia or of another non-cancerous cause. The three-year DFS rate was $79.2{\pm}2.6%$ and the overall survival rate was $66.4{\pm}10.5%$. Recurrence or death was significantly prevalent in the patients with lymph node metastasis (p=0.001) as well as in those who did not undergo adjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.008). The three-year survival rate was significantly greater in the patients with pathologic stage I/II cancer than in those with stage III cancer (84% vs. 13%, p=0.001). Conclusion: Major pulmonary resection for small cell lung cancer is feasible in selected patients. Patients with pathologic stage I or II disease showed an excellent survival rate after surgery and adjuvant treatment. Prospective randomized studies will be needed to define the role of surgery in early-stage small cell lung cancer.

  • Background/Aims: Colonic stenting as a bridge to elective surgery is an alternative for emergency surgery in patients with acute malignant colonic obstruction. However, since its benefits are uncertain, we aimed to establish whether it has better clinical outcomes. Methods: The patients with acute malignant left-sided colon obstruction enrolled from January 2009 to December 2018 in National Health Insurance Service Ilsan Hospital. The patients were enrolled to undergo colonic stenting as a bridge to elective surgery or emergency surgery. The following oncological outcomes were assessed: incidence of complete remission, disease progression, local recurrence, and systemic recurrence. Results: Out of 40 patients, 33 received self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) as a bridge-to-surgery, and 7 underwent emergency surgery. More stoma was made in case of emergency surgery with statistical significance (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in complete remission rate in curable left-sided malignant colonic obstruction between SEMS as a bridge-to-surgery and emergency surgery. Complete remission was achieved for 3 patients (42.9%) in the non-stent group and 27 patients (81.8%) in the stent group. There was no statistically significant difference in oncologic outcomes between the two groups (p = 0.069). According to multi-variate analysis, advanced TNM stage, Adjuvant chemotherapy, and SEMS bridge-to-surgery were significantly associated with disease-free survival. Disease-free survival rate differed significantly between the two groups (p = 0.024). Conclusions: SEMS as a bridge-to-surgery might be an effective strategy and reduce stoma formation in acute malignant left-sided colon obstruction.

  • 배경: 최근의 연구들에서 완전 절제된 병기 IB (pT2N0) 비소세포폐암 환자에서 수술 후 보조 항암요법으로 UFT의 효과에 대해 보고되고 있다. 이에 본 저자들은 완전 절제된 병기 IB 비소세포폐암에서 보조 항암요법으로 UFT의 가능성을 확인하고자 본 연구를 진행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 완전 절제된 병기 IB 비소세포페암 환자를 대상으로 무작위로 수술 후 2년간 3g의 UFT 사용군(UFT군)과 수술만 시행한 군(비교군)으로 나누었다. 모든 환자는 사망 또는 관찰 완료시점(2006년 12월 31일)까지 추적하였다. 결과: 2002년 6월부터 2004년 12월까지 모두 64명의 환자가 포함되었고 UFT 사용군이 35명, 비교군이 29명이었다 모든 환자의 추적 기간의 중앙값은 32.8개월이었으며 모든 환자에 있어서 관찰종료시점까지 추적이 가능하였다. UFT군에서 UFT 투여된 기간의 중앙값은 98주(범위: $2{\sim}129$주)였다. 약물의 순응도는 6개월에 88.2%, 12개월에 87.5%, 18개월에 80.6%, 24개월에 66.7%였다. 추적중 비교군에서 7명(24.1%), UFT군에서 6명(17.1%)의 환자가 재발하였다(p=0.489). 3년 무병생존율은 비교군에서 71.3%, UFT군에서 82.0%였다(p=0.331). 비소세포폐암 중 선암만을 대상으로 비교 시 3년 무병생존율이 비교군에서 45.0%, UFT군에서 75.2%였고(p=0.121) 비-선암을 대상을 했을 때 3년 무병생존율이 비교군에서 88.1%, UFT군에서 88.9%였다(p=0.964). 결론: 병기 IB 비소세포폐암에서 수술 후 경구 UFT의 보조항암요법은 안전하게 장기간 투여할 수 있었고 비록 통계학적인 의의를 얻지는 못했으나 완전 절제된 IB기 비소세포폐암 환자에서 수술 후 UFT보조항암요법은 생존율의 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대되며 특히 선암 환자에 있어서 생존율의 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 향후 많은 환자를 대상으로 하는 선향적 무작위연구가 필요하리라 여겨진다.

  • 목 적: 소아에 있어서 중추신경계 종양은 백혈병 다음으로 흔하며 그 중 수모세포종은 소아 뇌종양의 약 15-25%를 차지하는 종양으로, 방사선과 항암제에 예민한 것으로 알려져 있고 치료방법의 발달로 장기 생존율도 많이 향상되었다. 소아의 수모세포종의 생존율에 영향을 미치는 인자로는 진단시의 연령, 병기, 병소의 수술적 적출정도 등이 있다. 이번 연구는 수술 후 항암치료와 방사선 치료를 받은 환아들에서 기존에 생존율에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있는 인자들에 대한 성적을 조사하여 항암요법 후 이들 예후인자들이 생존율에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1985년부터 2001년 9월까지 신촌세브란스병원 소아과 및 신경외과에서 수모세포종으로 진단 받고 치료받은 94명의 환자 중 항암치료를 시행 받은 61명의 환자를 대상으로 의무기록을 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결 과 : 항암제 치료를 받은 환자들의 총 생존율을 보면 3년 무진행 생존율이 $66.5{\pm}6.3%$이고 15년 무진행 생존율이 $60.3{\pm}6.7%$로 나타났다. 진단 당시 3세 이상 및 미만 환아의 무진행 생존율은 각각 $64.5{\pm}7.7%$$48.2{\pm}12.9%$로 각 군간 생존율의 차이는 통계적인 유의성이 없었다. 진단당시 분류에 의한 저위험군 및 고위험군의 무진행 생존율은 각각 $72.7{\pm}10.5%$$54.6{\pm}8.3%$로 각 군간 생존율의 차이는 통계적인 유의성이 없었다. 수술적 적출에 의한 생존율의 차이도 완전적출은 $65.8{\pm}11.8%$, 아전적출은 $56.8{\pm}8.2%$로 두 군간 생존율의 차이는 통계적인 유의성이 없었다. 결 론 : 이전에 중요하다고 생각되던 예후인자에 따른 생존율의 차이가 나타나지 않는 이유는 항암제 치료가 전체적인 수모세포종의 생존율을 향상시켰지만, 특히 과거 불량예후인자를 가지고 있던 환자들에서 더욱 생존율의 향상을 가지고 왔기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 또한, 현재 대부분의 환자에서 수술, 방사선치료 그리고 항암제 치료가 이루어지고 있는 현실을 볼 때, 과거 예후를 판정하는데 있어 중요하게 여겨졌던 연령, 병기에 따른 위험군, 종양의 적출정도 등은 오히려 치료방법의 강도를 조절하는데 필요한 인자라 여겨지며, 충분한 종양의 적출과 그 이후 적절한 항암제 및 방사선 치료를 받는 것이 생존율에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자인 것으로 사료된다.

  • Background: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of tumors, and approximately 40-50% of patients with STS develop metastatic disease. The median overall survival of those patients was 12 months and their 5-year survival rate was 8%. Therefore, study on more effective treatment, especially the targeting therapies, is urgently needed. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Endostar$^{(R)}$ combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced STS. Methods: A retrospective case-series study was conducted in Cancer Institute of PLA, Xinqiao Hospital. A total of 71 patients suffering from advanced STS (IIB - IV) were included, of whom 49 cases treated with chemotherapy alone were defined as the control group and the rest 22 cases treated with the traditional chemotherapy combined with Endostar$^{(R)}$ were defined as the test group. The short-term therapeutic effects including objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and safety were evaluated in the two groups. In the follow-up, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were also observed. Results: In the test and control groups, the ORR was 18.2% and 12.2%, respectively (P=0.767), and the DCR was 86.4% and 61.2%, respectively (P=0.034). The median time to progression in the test and control groups was 120 days and 70 days with significant difference (P = 0.017), while the median overall survival was 452 days and 286 days without significant difference (P=0.503). The one-year survival rate in the test group and control group was 56.2% and 35.4%, respectively, while the two-year survival rate was 30.2% and 26.5%, respectively. No significant difference in the side effects was found between the two groups. Conclusions: Endostar$^{(R)}$ combined with chemotherapy resulted in a higher DCR and longer PFS in the patients with advanced STS, and the toxicity was tolerable.

  • Purpose: Recent studies have revealed recurrent alterations in the cell adhesion gene FAT4, a candidate tumor suppressor gene, in cancer. FAT atypical cadherin 4 (FAT4) is a transmembrane receptor involved in the Hippo signaling pathway, which is involved in the control of organ size. Here, we investigated the loss of FAT4 expression and its association with clinicopathological risk factors in gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: We assessed the expression of FAT4 by using immunohistochemistry on three tissue microarrays containing samples from 136 gastric cancer cases, radically resected in the Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital between July 2006 and June 2008. Cytoplasmic immunoexpression of FAT4 was semi-quantitatively scored using the H-score system. An H-score of ${\geq}10$ was considered positive for FAT4 expression. Results: Variable cytoplasmic expressions of FAT4 were observed in gastric cancers, with 33 cases (24.3%) showing loss of expression (H-score <10). Loss of FAT4 expression was associated with an increased rate of perineural invasion (H-score <10 vs. ${\geq}10$, 36.4% vs. 16.5%, P=0.015), high pathologic T stage (P=0.015), high tumor-node-metastasis stage (P=0.017), and reduced disease-free survival time (H-score <10 vs. ${\geq}10$, mean survival $62.7{\pm}7.3$ months vs. $79.1{\pm}3.1$ months, P=0.025). However, no association was found between the loss of FAT4 expression and tumor size, gross type, histologic subtype, Lauren classification, lymphovascular invasion, or overall survival. Conclusions: Loss of FAT4 expression appears to be associated with invasiveness in gastric cancer.

  • Background: It is standard treatment to combine chemotherapy (CT) and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) in treating patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). However, optimal timing of TRT is unclear. We here evaluated the survival impact of early versus late TRT in patients with LS-SCLC. Materials and Methods: Follow-up was retrospectively analyzed for seventy consecutive LS-SCLC patients who had successfully completed chemo-TRT between January 2006 and January 2012. Patients received TRT after either 1 to 2 cycles of CT (early TRT) or after 3 to 6 cycles of CT (late TRT). Survival and response rates were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method and comparisons were made using the multivariate Cox regression test. Results: Median follow-up was 24 (5 to 57) months. Carboplatin+etoposide was the most frequent induction CT (59%). Median overall, disease free, and metastasis free survivals in all patients were 15 (5 to 57), 5 (0 to 48) and 11 (3 to 57) months respectively. Late TRT was superior to early TRT group in terms of response rate (p=0.05). 3 year overall survival (OS) rates in late versus early TRT groups were 31% versus 17%, respectively (p=0.03). Early TRT (p=0.03), and incomplete response to TRT (p=0.004) were negative predictors of OS. Significant positive prognostic factors for distant metastasis free survival were late TRT (p=0.03), and use of PCI (p=0.01). Use of carboplatin versus cisplatin for induction CT had no significant impact on OS (p=0.634), DFS (p=0.727), and MFS (p=0.309). Conclusions: Late TRT appeared to be superior to early TRT in LS-SCLC treatment in terms of complete response, OS and DMFS. Carboplatin or cisplatin can be combined with etoposide in the induction CT owing to similar survival outcomes.
