Purpose: To report the results of a correlation analysis of skin dose assessed by in vivo dosimetry and the incidence of acute toxicity. This is a phase 2 trial evaluating the feasibility of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) as a boost for breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: Eligible patients were treated with IORT of 20 Gy followed by whole breast irradiation (WBI) of 46 Gy. A total of 55 patients with a minimum follow-up of 1 month after WBI were evaluated. Optically stimulated luminescence dosimeter (OSLD) detected radiation dose delivered to the skin during IORT. Acute toxicity was recorded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0. Clinical parameters were correlated with seroma formation and maximum skin dose. Results: Median follow-up after IORT was 25.9 weeks (range, 12.7 to 50.3 weeks). Prior to WBI, only one patient developed acute toxicity. Following WBI, 30 patients experienced grade 1 skin toxicity and three patients had grade 2 skin toxicity. Skin dose during IORT exceeded 5 Gy in two patients: with grade 2 complications around the surgical scar in one patient who received 8.42 Gy. Breast volume on preoperative images (p = 0.001), ratio of applicator diameter and breast volume (p = 0.002), and distance between skin and tumor (p = 0.003) showed significant correlations with maximum skin dose. Conclusions: IORT as a boost was well-tolerated among Korean women without severe acute complication. In vivo dosimetry with OSLD can help ensure safe delivery of IORT as a boost.

Pleural adhesions are a major challenge in standard and nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery. The currently available imaging techniques help to assess the presence and extent of pleural adhesions, but do not provide information on tissue deformability, which is crucial for intraoperative management. In this report, we describe the utilization of real-time elastography mapping of pleural adhesions. This technique enabled us to detect areas with softer adhesions, and helped establish the surgical plan in a difficult case of a patient scheduled for nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery.

Objective: Patients with extradural spine tumors are at an increased risk for intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and postoperative wound dehiscence due to radiotherapy and other comorbidities related to systemic cancer treatment. In this case series, we discuss our experience with the management of intraoperative durotomies and wound closure strategies for this complex surgical patient population. Methods: We reviewed our recent single-center experience with spine surgery for primarily extradural tumors, with attention to intraoperative durotomy occurrence and postoperative wound-related complications. Results: A total of 105 patients underwent tumor resection and spinal reconstruction with instrumented fusion for a multitude of pathologies. Twelve of the 105 patients (11.4%) reviewed had intraoperative durotomies. Of these, 3 underwent reoperation for a delayed complication, including 1 epidural hematoma, 1 retained drain, and 1 wound infection. Of the 93 uncomplicated index operations, there were a total of 9 reoperations: 2 for epidural hematoma, 3 for wound infection, 2 for wound dehiscence, and 2 for recurrent primary disease. One patient was readmitted for a delayed spinal fluid leak. The average length of stay for patients with and without intraoperative durotomy was 7.3 and 5.9 days, respectively, with a nonsignificant trend for an increased length of stay in the durotomy cases (p=0.098). Conclusion: Surgery for extradural tumor resections can be complicated by CSF leaks due to the proximity of the tumor to the dura. When encountered, a variety of strategies may be employed to minimize subsequent morbidity.

Objective: To evaluate interoperative radiotherapy after breast conservative surgery in early breast cancer patients in terms of postoperative complications, cosmetic outcome and recurrence events. Methods: From June 2007 to Dec 2011, 143 early breast cancer patients received breast conservative surgery. Seventy-two (study group) received interoperative radiotherapy, compared with 71 patients (control group) given routine radiotherapy. Postoperative complications were evaluated 1 month after surgery; cosmetic outcome was evaluated 1 year postoperatively; recurrence and death events were followed up. Results: The average wound healing time was 13~22 d in the study group and 9~14 d in the control group. In the study group, 2 patients developed lyponecrosis, 16 patients showed wound edema while no such side effects were found in the control group. No infection or hematomas were found in either group. In the study group (59 cases), overall cosmetic outcome in 53 patients was graded as excellent or good, and in 6 as fair or poor. Meanwhile in the control group (56 cases), 42 patients were graded as excellent or good, and 14 as fair or poor (P=0.032). After a follow-up from 3 to 54 months (median: 32 months), two patients (2.78%) in study group developed local relapses, one of them (1.39%) died, 2 patients (2.78%) developed bone metastases. In control group, one patient (1.41%) developed local relapse, 2 patients (2.82%) developed bone metastases, and no one died. Conclusion: Intraoperative radiotherapy is safe and reliable with good cosmetic outcome.

대장-직장암은 한국에서 남녀 모두 4위의 비교적 높은 빈도를 보이고 있으며 점점 증가되는 추세에 있다. 근치적 수술요법이 주 치료방법으로 사용되어 왔으나 그 생존율은 $20\~50\%$에 불과하다. 국소재발은 특히 직장암에서 가장 흔한 실패의 원인으로서 근치적 복합요법의 발달에도 불구하고 $40\~92\%$의 높은 국소재발율이 보고되고 있어 생존율를 높이고 생존의 질을 높이기 위하여는 국소재발을 줄이는 노력이 필수적이다. 수술중 방사선 치료는 수술중에 원하는 부위에만 다량의 방사선을 한번에 조사하는 방법으로 최근 보고에서 국소재발율을 $5\%$까지 줄일 수 있었다고 보고되고 있다. 영남대학병원 치료방사선과에서는 국내에서는 처음으로 91년 5월 30일 직장암 환자에 수술중 방사선 치료를 실시한 후 현재까지 6명의 대장 직장암 환자에 수술중 방사선 치료를 실시하였기에 환자선택, 치료선량, 선량분포, 수술 및 방사선치료과정등을 보고하고저 한다.

수술중 방사선치료를 환자에 적용하기에 앞서 본원이 보유하고있는 LID를 이용한 전자선의 선량분포 특성을 연구하였다. 이러한 선량 특성에 대한 자료는 적절한 Cone의 모양이나 크기, 에너지를 결정하게하며 빠르고 정확한 계산을 위하여 필요하다. 따라서, 본 저자들은 3-Dimensional Water Phantom Dosimetry System를 이용하여 Cone의 크기, Cone의 모양, 보상필터 사용 유무에 따라 Cone의 출력인자, 조직표면선량, 선축상 최대치 지점, $90\%$의 깊이, 대칭도와 편평도, SSD 보상인자, 선량분포 등을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) Cone의 출력인자는 Cone모양에 따라 각각 측정하였으며 Cone의 크기와 에너지가 작을수록 급격하게 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 2) 보상 필터의 하나인 Flattening Filter를 사용한 결과 포면 선량이 6 MeV, 9 MeV, 12 MeV에 대하여 각각 $85.3\%$, $89.2\%$, $93.4\%$였고, 이 보상 필터를 사용하므로 선량률과 beam의 투과율은 감소하지만 치료부위에 따라 beam의 모양을 변형시키며 특히, 표면선량을 $90\%$나 그 이상으로 증가시킬수 있었다. 3) 3차에 걸친 beam의 collimation과 보상 필터를 결합하여 사용한 결과 매우 좋은 beam의 균일성과 편평도 뿐만아니라 $90\%$ 등선량곡선 넓이가 커지는 결과를 보였다. 4) 치료를 위하여 중요한 간격인 SSD 100cm에서 SSD 110cm까지의 출력인자는 측정치와 계산치가 Cone의 크기와 모양, 에너지에 따라 $1\~3\%$의 차이를 보였다.

Objective : To identify the perioperative factors associated with instrument failure in patients undergoing a partial corpectomy with instrumentation (PCI) for spinal metastasis. Methods : We assessed the one hundred twenty-four patients with who underwent PCI for a metastatic spine from 1987 to 2011. Outcome measure was the risk factor related to implantation failure. The preoperative factors analyzed were age, sex, ambulation, American Spinal Injury Association grade, bone mineral density, use of steroid, primary tumor site, number of vertebrae with metastasis, extra-bone metastasis, preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and preoperative spinal radiotherapy. The intraoperative factors were the number of fixed vertebrae, fixation in osteolytic vertebrae, bone grafting, and type of surgical approach. The postoperative factors included postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and spinal radiotherapy. This study was supported by the National Research Foundation grant funded by government. There were no study-specific biases related to conflicts of interest. Results : There were 15 instrumentation failures (15/124, 12.1%). Preoperative ambulatory status and primary tumor site were not significantly related to the development of implant failure. There were no significant associations between insertion of a bone graft into the partial corpectomy site and instrumentation failure. The preoperative and operative factors analyzed were not significantly related to instrumentation failure. In univariable and multivariable analyses, postoperative spinal radiotherapy was the only significant variable related to instrumentation failure (p=0.049 and 0.050, respectively). Conclusion : When performing PCI in patients with spinal metastasis followed by postoperative spinal radiotherapy, the surgeon may consider the possibility of instrumentation failure and find other strategies for augmentation than the use of a bone graft for fusion.

목 적: 본 연구는 위암 환자에서 근치적 수술과 수술 중 방사선치료(intraoperative radiotherapy)를 시행한 장기 추적 결과를 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1988년부터 1994년까지, 51명의 원발성 국소진행성 위암 환자에게 근치적 수술과 수술 중 방사선치료를 시행하였다. 수술 후 외부방사선치료는 30명의 환자에서, 보조 항암화학요법은 35명의 환자에서 시행되었다. 수술 중 방사선치료는 9 MeV의 전자선을 이용하여 15 Gy를 조사하였으며, 외부방사선치료 조사선량의 중앙값은 43.2 Gy (7.2~45 Gy)이었다. 보조 항암화학요법은 35명에서 시행되었다. 추적관찰기간의 중앙값은 64개월(1~254개월)이었다. 결 과: 환자의 나이는 30~71세(중앙값, 58세)였다. American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor-notemetastasis (TNM) 병기(2002)는 병기 I 13명(25.5%), 병기 II 10명(19.6%), 병기 III 25명(49.0%), 병기 IV 3명(5.9%) 이었다. 주된 재발은 원격전이로 11명이었으며, 이 중 1명에서 국소재발이 동시에 발견되었다. 전체 환자의 5년 국소영역제어율, 무병생존율, 전체생존율은 각각 94.7%, 66.5%, 51.7%이었다. 다변량분석에서 전체생존율에 영향을 주는 인자에는 나이, TNM 병기, 외부방사선치료가 있었으며, 무병생존율에 대해서는 TNM 병기만이 유의한 인자였다. 결 론: 국소 진행성 위암에서 근치적 수술과 수술 중 방사선치료로 높은 국소제어율을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 수술 중 방사선치료의 생존율에 대한 영향에 대해서는 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
