  • 목 적: Hypopharynx Cancer의 VMAT 치료 시 Neck 부분에 Commercial Bolus(이하 CB)와 3D Printing 기술로 제작한 3D Bolus를 각각 적용한 두 치료 계획을 비교함으로써 3D Bolus 적용의 선량학적 유용성, setup 재현성 및 효율성을 알아보고 임상적 적용 가능성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: CB를 적용한 RANDO phantom의 CT image를 바탕으로 3D Bolus를 동일한 형태로 제작하였다. 3D Bolus는 OMG SLA 660 Printer, MaterialiseMagics software를 이용하여 SLA기법을 통해 밀도 1.2 g/㎤의 폴리우레탄 아크릴레이트 수지로 출력하였다. CB와 3D Bolus를 적용한 두 CT image를 바탕으로 Hypopharynx Cancer의 VMAT 치료를 가정하여 치료 계획을 수립하였다. 수립한 두 치료 계획을 각각 18회에 걸쳐 CBCT image를 획득하였고, 매 회 setup time을 측정하여 치료 효율성을 평가하였다. 획득한 CBCT image를 바탕으로 전산화 치료계획 시스템 Pinnacle을 통해 Adaptive Plan을 진행함으로써 Target, 정상 장기 선량 평가와 Bolus Volume의 변화를 평가하였다. 결 과: 각 치료 계획에 대한 setup time은 CB 적용 치료 계획에 비해 3D Bolus 적용 치료 계획에서 평균 28 sec 감소하였다. 치료 전 기간 내 Bolus Volume 변화는 CB Initial Plan 83.9㎤에서 86.1±2.70㎤, 3D Bolus Initial Plan 92.2㎤에서 99.8±0.46㎤로 나타났다. CTV Min Value의 변화는 CB Initial Plan 191.6cGy에서 167.4±19.38cGy, 3D Bolus Initial Plan 167.3cGy에서 149.5±18.27cGy로 나타났다. CTV Mean Value의 변화는 CB Initial Plan 227.1cGy에서 228.3±0.38cGy, 3D Bolus Initial Plan 225.9cGy에서 227.7±0.30cGy로 나타났다. PTV Min Value의 변화는 CB Initial Plan 128.5cGy에서 74.9±19.47cGy, 3D Bolus Initial Plan 139.9cGy에서 83.2±12.92cGy로 나타났다. PTV Mean Value의 변화는 CB Initial Plan 225.4cGy에서 226.2±0.83cGy, 3D Bolus Initial Plan 224.1cGy에서 225.8±0.33cGy로 나타났다. 정상 장기 Spinal Cord에 대한 Max Value는 매 회 평균 135.6cGy로 동일하게 나타났다. 결 론: 본 논문의 실험 결과를 통해 불균등한 체표면에 대한 3D Bolus의 적용이 Commercial Bolus 적용에 비해 선량학적으로 유용하고 setup 재현성 및 효율성 또한 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 추후 3D Printing 재료의 다양성에 대한 연구와 함께 추가적인 사례 연구가 진행된다면 방사선 치료 분야에서 3D Bolus의 적용이 더욱 활발하게 진행될 것으로 사료된다.

  • 이 글의 목적은 70년대 국가권력에 의해 소환되었던 전통 이념이 '전통의 현대화'라는 명목 아래 당대 한국연극 현장에 수용되었던 양상과 그 함의를 밝히려는데 있다. 이는 다른 한편 70년대 전통 논의를 둘러싼 한국연극계의 자기검열의 양상을 비판적으로 검토하는 작업이기도 하다. 이를 위해 이 글에서는 민족극을 창안하는 방식으로 70년대 한국연극계의 전통 논의를 선점했던 극단 민예극장의 활동을 살펴보았다. 이제까지 70년대 극단 민예극장에 대한 평가는 전통의 계승과 변용을 내세운 허규의 연출 작업을 바탕으로 공연예술적 성취 여부에 집중되었다. 하지만 70년대 국가가 주도한 문화정치의 장(場)에서 구성된 전통 이념과 그것이 작동된 양상은 예술적 성취라는 측면에서만 평가할 수 없다. 무릇 전통을 전유하려 한 주체의 선택적 기준에 따라 전통 이념은 선별되고, 선별된 전통 이념의 선택 과정에서 특정 대상들이 배제, 폐기, 재선별, 재해석, 재인식된다. 70년대 비문화로 호명되었던 서구적인 것이나 퇴폐불온한 것과의 차이 속에서, 전통이 전유되었던 70년대의 상황도 이로부터 멀리 있지 않다. 국가가 주도한 70년대의 전통 논의는 전통의 특정 이념을 안정된 가치로 합법화했는데, 그것을 작동시킨 한 방식은 국가의 문예지원이었다. 70년대 극단 민예극장은 당시 연극 위기론의 구체적 대안으로 선택되었던 전통의 현대화를 바탕으로 민족극을 지향했다. 그것은 구체적으로 전통연희의 계승과 변용이라는 방식으로 구현되었는바, 특히 극단 민예 극장의 대표 연출가 허규에게 전통은 거부할 수 없는 안정적 가치였고 그것의 계승과 변용은 의심할 바 없는 소명으로 내면화되었다. 그 결과 허규가 연출한 극단 민예극장의 공연은 일정한 성취에도 불구하고 과도한 전통연희의 관습들로 채워진 숙련된 장인술로 귀착되었다. 70년대의 전통 이념은 80년대 들어 새로운 전유의 양상으로 전개된다. 1986년 극단 민예극장의 핵심 단원이었던 손진책, 김성녀, 윤문식 등은 민예극장을 탈퇴하여 극단 미추를 만든다. 극단 미추는 연출가 손진책을 중심으로 풍자와 해학이 넘치는 마당놀이를 선보이며 전통의 대중화를 끌어냈다. 전통연희에 내재된 민중의 저항정신을 전통적 가치로 전유했던 대학가의 마당극처럼, 손진책의 마당놀이는 풍자와 해학을 통해 위압적인 국가권력을 비판하고 조롱함으로써 대중적 인기를 끌었다. 70년대 전통 논의의 자장 안에서, 민중의 저항정신을 전통적 가치로 전유하며 자생한 마당극이나 전통의 대중화를 성취한 극단 미추의 마당 놀이는 예술적 성취로써만 평가되지 않는다. 마찬가지로 전통의 계승과 변용이라는 측면에서 70년대 극단 민예극장이 성취한 것 역시 70년대 전통이 소환되었던 맥락을 제외하고 독립적으로 평가될 수 없다. 70년대 국가 주도의 전통 논의에 대응한 한국연극 평단의 시각이 예술성을 바탕으로 한 공연예술의 질적 성취에만 집중된 대목이 아쉬운 것은 그 때문이다. 이 글에서는 이런 맥락을 비판적으로 검토하고, 이를 바탕으로 70년대 극단 민예극장의 활동을 중심으로 당대 한국연극계의 전통 논의와 그 실천 양상을 살펴보았다. 결과적으로 70년대 극단 민예극장의 활동이 한 계기로 작용했을 대중적 마당놀이나 민중저항의 마당극은 70년대 극단 민예극장이 전통을 전유하는 방식, 곧 전통의 계승과 현대적 변용과의 '차이' 속에 정립되었다. 계기는 되었으나 그에 따른 유의미한 차이를 지속적으로 생산해내지 못한 점, 이것이 극단 민예극장의 '전통'이 70년대 한국연극사에서 차지하는 의미이자 한계이다.

  • This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.

  • Personalized services directly and indirectly acquire personal data, in part, to provide customers with higher-value services that are specifically context-relevant (such as place and time). Information technologies continue to mature and develop, providing greatly improved performance. Sensory networks and intelligent software can now obtain context data, and that is the cornerstone for providing personalized, context-specific services. Yet, the danger of overflowing personal information is increasing because the data retrieved by the sensors usually contains privacy information. Various technical characteristics of context-aware applications have more troubling implications for information privacy. In parallel with increasing use of context for service personalization, information privacy concerns have also increased such as an unrestricted availability of context information. Those privacy concerns are consistently regarded as a critical issue facing context-aware personalized service success. The entire field of information privacy is growing as an important area of research, with many new definitions and terminologies, because of a need for a better understanding of information privacy concepts. Especially, it requires that the factors of information privacy should be revised according to the characteristics of new technologies. However, previous information privacy factors of context-aware applications have at least two shortcomings. First, there has been little overview of the technology characteristics of context-aware computing. Existing studies have only focused on a small subset of the technical characteristics of context-aware computing. Therefore, there has not been a mutually exclusive set of factors that uniquely and completely describe information privacy on context-aware applications. Second, user survey has been widely used to identify factors of information privacy in most studies despite the limitation of users' knowledge and experiences about context-aware computing technology. To date, since context-aware services have not been widely deployed on a commercial scale yet, only very few people have prior experiences with context-aware personalized services. It is difficult to build users' knowledge about context-aware technology even by increasing their understanding in various ways: scenarios, pictures, flash animation, etc. Nevertheless, conducting a survey, assuming that the participants have sufficient experience or understanding about the technologies shown in the survey, may not be absolutely valid. Moreover, some surveys are based solely on simplifying and hence unrealistic assumptions (e.g., they only consider location information as a context data). A better understanding of information privacy concern in context-aware personalized services is highly needed. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to identify a generic set of factors for elemental information privacy concern in context-aware personalized services and to develop a rank-order list of information privacy concern factors. We consider overall technology characteristics to establish a mutually exclusive set of factors. A Delphi survey, a rigorous data collection method, was deployed to obtain a reliable opinion from the experts and to produce a rank-order list. It, therefore, lends itself well to obtaining a set of universal factors of information privacy concern and its priority. An international panel of researchers and practitioners who have the expertise in privacy and context-aware system fields were involved in our research. Delphi rounds formatting will faithfully follow the procedure for the Delphi study proposed by Okoli and Pawlowski. This will involve three general rounds: (1) brainstorming for important factors; (2) narrowing down the original list to the most important ones; and (3) ranking the list of important factors. For this round only, experts were treated as individuals, not panels. Adapted from Okoli and Pawlowski, we outlined the process of administrating the study. We performed three rounds. In the first and second rounds of the Delphi questionnaire, we gathered a set of exclusive factors for information privacy concern in context-aware personalized services. The respondents were asked to provide at least five main factors for the most appropriate understanding of the information privacy concern in the first round. To do so, some of the main factors found in the literature were presented to the participants. The second round of the questionnaire discussed the main factor provided in the first round, fleshed out with relevant sub-factors. Respondents were then requested to evaluate each sub factor's suitability against the corresponding main factors to determine the final sub-factors from the candidate factors. The sub-factors were found from the literature survey. Final factors selected by over 50% of experts. In the third round, a list of factors with corresponding questions was provided, and the respondents were requested to assess the importance of each main factor and its corresponding sub factors. Finally, we calculated the mean rank of each item to make a final result. While analyzing the data, we focused on group consensus rather than individual insistence. To do so, a concordance analysis, which measures the consistency of the experts' responses over successive rounds of the Delphi, was adopted during the survey process. As a result, experts reported that context data collection and high identifiable level of identical data are the most important factor in the main factors and sub factors, respectively. Additional important sub-factors included diverse types of context data collected, tracking and recording functionalities, and embedded and disappeared sensor devices. The average score of each factor is very useful for future context-aware personalized service development in the view of the information privacy. The final factors have the following differences comparing to those proposed in other studies. First, the concern factors differ from existing studies, which are based on privacy issues that may occur during the lifecycle of acquired user information. However, our study helped to clarify these sometimes vague issues by determining which privacy concern issues are viable based on specific technical characteristics in context-aware personalized services. Since a context-aware service differs in its technical characteristics compared to other services, we selected specific characteristics that had a higher potential to increase user's privacy concerns. Secondly, this study considered privacy issues in terms of service delivery and display that were almost overlooked in existing studies by introducing IPOS as the factor division. Lastly, in each factor, it correlated the level of importance with professionals' opinions as to what extent users have privacy concerns. The reason that it did not select the traditional method questionnaire at that time is that context-aware personalized service considered the absolute lack in understanding and experience of users with new technology. For understanding users' privacy concerns, professionals in the Delphi questionnaire process selected context data collection, tracking and recording, and sensory network as the most important factors among technological characteristics of context-aware personalized services. In the creation of a context-aware personalized services, this study demonstrates the importance and relevance of determining an optimal methodology, and which technologies and in what sequence are needed, to acquire what types of users' context information. Most studies focus on which services and systems should be provided and developed by utilizing context information on the supposition, along with the development of context-aware technology. However, the results in this study show that, in terms of users' privacy, it is necessary to pay greater attention to the activities that acquire context information. To inspect the results in the evaluation of sub factor, additional studies would be necessary for approaches on reducing users' privacy concerns toward technological characteristics such as highly identifiable level of identical data, diverse types of context data collected, tracking and recording functionality, embedded and disappearing sensor devices. The factor ranked the next highest level of importance after input is a context-aware service delivery that is related to output. The results show that delivery and display showing services to users in a context-aware personalized services toward the anywhere-anytime-any device concept have been regarded as even more important than in previous computing environment. Considering the concern factors to develop context aware personalized services will help to increase service success rate and hopefully user acceptance for those services. Our future work will be to adopt these factors for qualifying context aware service development projects such as u-city development projects in terms of service quality and hence user acceptance.

  • 목적: N2 병기 비소세포폐암에서 수술 전 동시화학방사선요법과 수술을 적용하여 급성 부작용, 수술 절제가능성 및 수술 후 병기 강하율을 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1997년 5월부터 1998년 6월까지 삼성서울병원에서 N2 병기 비소세포폐암으로 진단 받은 15명의 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 환자들 연령의 중앙값은 61세(45~67세), 남녀 성비는 12:3 이었으며 세포 조직형은 편평상피암종이 11명, 선암종이 4명이었다. 치료 전 임상적 T병기는 T1, T2, 및 T3가 각각 2명, 12명, 및 1명씩이었으며 모든 환자들이 N2 병기로서 이중 10명은 종격동내시경을 통한 조직생검을 통하여 종격동 림프절 전이를 확인하였고 나머지 5명은 흉부 CT 영상 상 종격동 림프절 전이가 강력히 의심된 경우였다. 수술 전 방사선치료는 흉부 CT영상을 기준으로 하여 원발 병소, 동측 폐문부 및 종격동 림프절에 대하여 10MV X-선을 이용하여 45Gy를 5주간에 걸쳐서 조사하도록 계획하였다(일회 선량 1.8 Gy, 일일 1회, 주 5회). 수술 전 복합화학요법은 cis-Platin(100mg/m$^{2}$)을 제 1일에 급속 정주하고 Etoposide(50mg/m$^{2}$/day)를 제 1일부터 제 14일까지 경구로 2회에 분복하도록 하였으며, 첫번째 화학요법은 방사선치료의 시작일에, 두 번째 화학요법은 4주 후에 시행하도록 계획하였다. 수술은 방사선-복합화학요법의 완료 3주째에 흉부 CT 영상을 얻어 병변의 진행이나 원격전이의 소견이 없음을 확인한 후 시행하였다. 결과 : 방사선치료는 15명 모두에서 계획된 목표 선량 45Gy를 조사하였으며, 복합 화학요법은 11명의 환자에서는 계획대로 2회를, 나머지 4명에서는 1회만 시행하였다. 본 연구의 치료 방법과 관련하여 1명의 환자가 수술 15일만에 급성 호흡부전으로 사망하였으며 입원치료를 요하는 정도의 급성 부작용의 발현은 방사선폐렴과 호중구 감소로 인한 발열이 각각 1명, 2명이었다. 급성 식도염은 RTOG grade 1이 9명, grade 2가 3명으로 대체로 경미한 편이었다. 총 26회의 복합 화학요법과 관련된 급성 부작용으로 grade 3 이상의 백혈구 감소증, 혈소판 감소증, 및 빈혈이 각각 26.9%, 7.7%, 3.8%에서 나타났다. 수술을 시행한 환자는 13명으로 이 중 12명에서 근치적 절제술이 가능하여 수술절제율은 92.3%(12/13) 이었다. 한 명에서는 수술 시 늑막 전이가 확인되어 절제 수술을 시행하지 못하였다. 다른 2명은 수술을 거부하였다. 수술 후 병리학적 T병기는 T0, T1, 및 T2가 각각 3명, 6명, 및 3명이었으며 N병기는 N0, N1, 및 N2가 각각 8명, 1명, 및 3명이었다. 병리학적 완전 관해는 모두 3명의 환자에서(27.3%) 확인되었으며, 수술 전 임상적 병기와 비교하여 볼 때 병기 강하, 불변, 상승이 각각 8명(61.5%), 4명(30.8%), 1명(7.7%) 이었다. 결론 : N2 병기 비소세포폐암에 대한 동시화학방사선요법은 대체로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었으나 보다 많은 환자들을 대상으로 하는 장기간의 추적 관찰을 요한다.

  • 목 적: 전국 병원의 방사선종양학과에서 식도암으로 방사선 치료를 받은 환자들을 각 병원으로부터 입력 받아 세부 항목별로 분석하여 식도암 환자들의 구성과 특징을 파악하여 범국가적인 자료로 활용하는 한편 치료방침을 분석하여 향후 적절한 치료를 위한 가이드라인으로 삼고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 전국 병원의 방사선종양학과에서 1998년과 1999년의 2년간에 걸쳐 식도암으로 확진된 246명을 대상으로 하였다. 연간 400명 미만의 방사선치료 신환자 발생병원들을 A군, 400명 이상 900명 미만의 병원들을 B군, 그리고 900명 이상 신환자가 발생하는 병원을 C군으로 분류하여 최종적으로 A군에서 12병원, B군에서 8개 병원, 그리고 C군에서 3개의 병원이 연구에 참여하였다. 이미 개발된 Web-based Korean PCS system을 통해 각 병원으로부터 직접 자료를 입력 받아 이를 세부 항목별로 분석하였고 통계적 처리는 SPSS version 12.0.1을 사용하고 범주형 자료는 Chi-squared test를 사용하였고 연속변수는 ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test를 적용하였다. 결 과: 입력된 환자들의 성별 분포는 남자 224명(91.1%), 여자 22명(8.9%)이었고 연령별 중앙값은 62세 전후였다. 진단 및 병기결정을 위한 검사로는 식도 촬영술(228명, 92.7%), 식도내시경(226명, 91.9%) 및 흉부 식도 CT 스캔(238명, 96.7%)을 주로 시행하였다. 편평상피암이 대종을 이루어 237명(96.3%)의 환자에서 관찰되었고 중흉부식도(mid-thoracic esophagus)에서 발생한 식도암이 가장 많았다(110명, 44.7%). 임상 병기는 III기가 과반수 이상을 차지하였다(135명, 54.9%). 방사선 치료만 받은 경우는 57명(23.2%), 방사선 치료와 수술을 병용한 경우는 전체의 15%인 37명, 항암약물 치료와 방사선 치료를 병용한 경우는 123명(50%)이었다. 수술과 방사선 치료를 병행한 경우 전례에서 수술을 먼저 시행한 후 방사선 치료를 하였다. 항암치료를 방사선치료와 병행한 경우 반수 이상에서(70명, 56.9%) 동시항암방사선 치료를 시행하였고 31명(25.2%)에서 항암치료 후 방사선치료를 또는 항암요법 단독치료 후 동시항암방사선치료를(13명, 10.6%) 시행하였다. 방사선 치료는 6 MV (116명, 47.2%)와 10 MV (87명, 35.4%)의 X-ray가 대종을 이루었다. 방사선 치료 시 조사야는 longitudinal margin의 경우 중앙값은 7.0 cm이었지만 각 군별로 현저한 차이가 있었다(A군; 5.5 cm, B군; 8.0 cm, C군; 14.0 cm). 계획용 CT를 사용하지 않고 고식적인 AP/PA 조사야를 사용하여 치료한 경우가 대부분이었는데(206명, 83.7%) 이 때 방사선 조사량의 중앙값은 3,600 cGy이었다. 이후 추가 방사선 치료 시 계획용 CT를 사용하지 않고 2-oblique fields 사용하여 치료한 경우가 87명(35.4%)이었는데 방사선 조사량의 중앙값은 1,800 cGy이었다. 전 환자에서 1일 1회 180 cGy로 치료하였다. 전 환자에서 조사된 총 방사선량의 중앙값은 5,580 cGy이었다. 수술 후 방사선 치료를 시행한 경우 중앙값은 5,040 cGy이었고 수술을 받지 않은 환자 중앙값은 5,940 cGy이었다. 근접조사 방사선 치료는 총 34명(13.8%)에서 시행되었고, 전 환자에서 high dose rate Iridium-192를 사용하였다. 조사범위는 종양에서 longitudinal margin의 중앙값은 1 cm, prescribed isodose curve에서 axial length의 평균값은 8.25 cm, 폭은 2 cm, 그리고 전후 폭의 중앙값도 2 cm이었다. Fraction size의 중앙값은 300 cGy이었는데 B군의 경우는 500 cGy이었다. 총 분할 횟수는 $3{\sim}4$회가 대부분이었다. 한편, 방사선 치료 중 발생한 급성 부작용은 식도염이 가장 많았는데 전체 246명 환자 중 155명(63.0%)에서 발생하였다. 결 론: 전국 23개 병원의 식도암 환자 치료 Data를 분석해 본 결과 대부분의 병원에서 환자의 특징과 진단 및 병기 결정 방법, 치료의 유형 등에서 유사한 결과를 보였으며 신환 발생 수에 따른 병원 규모의 차이는 조사 결과에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 하지만 병원 규모가 클수록 10 MV 이상의 고에너지로 치료하는 경향이 많았으며 3D CT Plan도 병원 규모가 클수록 활용도가 높았다. 조사 야의 면적도 병원 군별로 차이를 보였다. 향후 더 많은 환자를 입력하여 생존율 분석까지 이루어지면 이 연구는 식도암 치료방침의 결정에 중요한 guideline을 제시해 줄 것으로 사료된다.
