목적: 하부인두암 및 경부식도암 환자에서 근치적 전인두후두식도절제술시 위를 이용한 재건술 후 수술의 결과를 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1991년부터 2006년까지 하인두암 및 경부식도암에서 전인두후두식도절제술을 시행하였고, 재건술을 개흉술 없이, 경열공적으로 위를 이용하여 하인두위 문합술을 시행한 23예를 대상으로 하였다. 수술 후 합병증에 대해서는 신체검사소견과 수술 후 시행한 식도조영술의 결과에 따라 분류하였고, 퇴원 후 외래추적조사 시 환자의 증상 및 신체검사소견상 협착이나 재발의 가능성이 있는 환자에서 시행한 흉부 X-선 검사, 식도내시경 및 식도조영술을 바탕으로 분석하였다. 결과: 수술 후 사망한 환자는 2예(8.8%)였으며, 4예(4.4%)에서 누출이 있었으나, 공장루를 통해 경장영양으로 해결되었으며, 협착은 없었다. 호흡기합병증은 폐렴 1예, 기흉 1예였다. 수술 후에 연하곤란은 없었으나, 2000년 이후 유분부성형술을 시행하지 않으므로, 일시적으로 정체증상을 호소한 환자가 1예 있었다. 결론: 하인두암이나 경부식도암에서 근치적 절제 후 위장관 재건술시 위를 이용하는 것은 충분한 길이를 얻을 수 있어, 원활한 혈액공급이 가능하여 조직괴사나 문합부 누출 및 협착 등의 합병증이 적으며, 술식의 시간이 빠르다. 또한 모든 문합이 경부에서 이루어지므로 문합부의 누출이 발생하더라도 쉽게 치료되어 수술 후 이환율과 사망률이 감소한다는 장점이 있다.

Purpose: To investigate clinical outcomes of synchronous head and neck and esophageal cancer (SHNEC). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 27 SHNEC patients treated with curative intent at a single institution. The treatment modality for individual cases was usually determined on a case by case basis. Results: The median follow-up duration for the surviving patients was 28.2 months. The most common site of head and neck cancer was hypopharyngeal carcinoma (n = 21, 77.7%). The lower esophagus was the most common location of esophageal carcinoma (n = 16, 59.3%). The 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 57.5% and 39.6%. Major pattern of failure was locoregional recurrence in the study patients. Esophageal cancer stage, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and pretreatment weight loss were significant prognostic factors for OS in univariate analysis. Treatment-related death was observed in two patients, and one patient developed a grade 4 late treatment-related complication. Conclusion: Although the survival outcome for SHNEC is poor, long-term survival might be achievable with aggressive treatment with stage I-II esophageal cancer and good performance.

Tracheo-gastric fistula is a very rare late complication of total laryngopharyngoesophagectomy with gastric pull-up procedure. It usually occurs after transhiatal esophagectomy, but it has only rarely been reported after total laryngopharyngoesophagectomy with gastric pull-up procedure. Chronic irritation and gastric ulcer may be the cause of tracheogastric fistula. To prevent fistula formation, active management of gastric ulcer and avoidance of mucosal irritation are necessary. We report a case of a tracheogastric fistula which occurred two years after total laryngopharyngoesophagectomy with gastric pull-up procedure that maybe occurred by chronic irritation and gastric ulcer.

Between October 1987 and October 1990, 6 patients underwent pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy with transhiatal gastric transposition and pharyngogastrostomy for hypopharyngeal and recurred laryngeal cancer. All patients had squamous cell carcinoma and were male, with age range from 54 to 67 years. Two patients had been treated initially by chemotherapy, but the tumor had persisted. One patient had been treated by radiotherapy and operation, but tumor had recurred in hypopharynx. There was no operative death. Major complications were anastomotic leakage in three cases, wound disruption in four cases and one postoperative bleeding. Anastomotic leakage was recovered in two cases with conservative management. The average hospital day was 33 days postoperatively. We conclude that reconstruction of the pharynx and cervical esophagus with gastric transposition is one of the recommendable procedures for extensive resection of pharynx or cervical esophagus with acceptable morbidity and functional recovery.

Sixteen patients with esophageal diverticulum operated on between July 1979 and September 1988 at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of National University Hospital have been studied. There were 2 cases of the pharyngoesophageal diverticula, 12 cases of the midesophageal diverticula, and 2 cases of the epiphrenic diverticula. Twelve cases of midesophageal diverticula consisted of 9 cases of pulsion type and 3 cases of traction type. There were 13 women and three men, whose ages ranged from 25 to 65 years with an average age of 45.5 years. Diverticulectomy alone in three cases, diverticulopexy with myotomy in two cases, and diverticulectomy with myotomy in 11 cases were performed. There were no deaths or morbidity and all patients have achieved marked improvement of their symptoms except four patients who had a concomitant hypopharyngeal carcinoma, had a postoperative recurrence in epiphrenic diverticulum, and had two cases of postoperative transient regurgitation which subsided spontaneously one and one and half year later.

Purpose: Use of radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy is increasing in hypopharyngeal cancer. However, many show residual tumor after radiotherapy. Timing for treatment evaluation and salvage therapy is essential. However, optimal timing for salvage surgery has not been suggested. In this study, we tried to evaluate optimal timing for salvage surgery. Methods and Materials: Patients who were diagnosed with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma between 2006 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received definitive radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. Response of all treated patients were analyzed at 1, 3, and 6 months after radiotherapy. Any patients with progression before 6 months were excluded. Results: A total of 54 patients were analyzed. Complete remission (CR) rates at 1 month (CR₁), 3 months (CR₃) and 6 months (CR₆) were 66.7%, 81.5%, and 90.7%, respectively. Non-CR at 1 month (NCR₁), 3 months (NCR₃), and 6 months (NCR₆) showed poor locoregional recurrence-free survival rates (1-year rates of 63.7%, 66.7%, and 0.0%, respectively) compared to CR₁, CR₃, and CR₆ (1-year rates 94.3%, 88.0%, and 91.5%, respectively). Particularly significant differences were seen between CR₆ and NCR₆ (p < 0.001). Of 10 patients with NCR₃, 5 showed CR at 6 months (NCR₃/CR₆). There was no statistical difference in locoregional recurrence-free survival between CR₃ and NCR₃/CR₆ group (p = 0.990). Conclusion: Our data suggest half of patients who did not show CR at 3 months eventually achieved CR at 6 months. Waiting until 6 months after radiotherapy may be appropriate for avoiding additional salvage therapy.

목적 : 하인두암 환자에서 방사선단독치료와 항암화학요법 병용치료시의 반응과 생존율, 그리고 합병증에 영향을 미치는 요소를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1984년 1월부터 1999년 12월까지 고신대학교 복음병원 치료방사선과에서 치료를 받았던 환자 중 근치적 목적으로 방사선치료 단독 또는 항암화학요법과 병용치료를 받았던 56명을 대상으로 후향적 조사를 하였다. 방사선 단독치료(Group I)가 24명$(42.9\%)$, 항암화학방사선치료(Group II)가 32명$(57.1\%)$이었다. 방사선치료는 정규분할 조사법으로 9명$(16.4\%)$, 과분할조사로 분할선량이 $1.15\~1.2\;Gy$인 경우가 26명$(47.2\%)$, 1.35 Gy인 경우가 18명$(32.7\%)$, 가속과분할조사로 2명$(3.6\%)$이 치료받았으며 총 방사선량은 $40.5\~83.5\;Gy$ (평균선량 68.3 Gy)이었다. 항암화학요법은 cisplatin $100\;mg/m^2$을 day 1에, 5-FU $1,000\;mg/m^2$를 day $2\~6$에 방사선치료에 선행해서 사용하였으며 3주 간격으로 시행하였고 환자에 따라 1회에서 3회까지 시행하였다(평균 2.3회). 추적관찰기간은 1개월에서 195개월 이었고 중앙값은 28개월이었다. 결과 : 전체 대상 환자들의 3년 및 5년 생존율은 $40.6\%,\;27.6\%$였고, Group I은 $50.0\%,\;30.0\%$, II는 $36.4\%,\;26.3\%$였다. 국소제어율은 Group I에서 완전관해율이 $70.0\%$, Group II에서는 완전관해율이 $67.7\%$였다. 생존율에 영향을 미치는 예후인자로는 방사선치료에 대한 반응과 림프절 병기로 나타났다. 항암화학요법을 병용한 군에서 합병증 발생율이 높았으나 다분할 조사군에서는 정규분할조사군보다 적게 나타났다. 결론 : 하인두암의 방사선치료 결과는 방사선치료에 대한 반응과 경부 림프절 병기에 따라 좌우되었다. Cisplatin, 5-FU를 방사선치료 전 선행하여 $1\~3$회 사용하는 것은 하인두암의 국소제어율과 생존율에 가치가 없는 것으로 증명되었으며 오히려 합병증을 높이는 것으로 판명되었다. 다분할 방사선치료는 후기 합병증을 저하시키는 것으로 판명되었다.

Background and Objectives: Standard treatment of locally advanced laryngeal, hypopharyngeal, and some oropharyngeal cancers includes total laryngectomy. In an attempt to preserve the larynx through induction chemotherapy, we designed induction chemotherapy followed by definitive radiation in patients with potentially respectable head and neck cancer to determine whether organ preservation is feasible without apparent compromise of survival. Materials and Methods: The twenty-six patients diagnosed advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, Stage III or IV (AJCC 2002) and performed organ preservation protocols in Ajou university hospital from 1994 to 2001 were included in this study. Results: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy showed an overall response rate of 84.6% and a complete remission (CR) rate was 59.1% following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation. Seven of thirteen patients were able to preserve their larynges for more than two years by chemotherapy and radiation. There were no treatment related mortality after 2 cycles of induction chemotherapy. Conclusion: Although Organ preservation protocol through neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation need more controlled randomized study, it was considered alternative treatment modality in advanced head and neck cancer.
