  • 연구배경: 전산화 단층 촬영(CT)에 의한 폐암의 종격동 림프절전이 판정은 폐암의 치료계획과 예후 결정에 중요하다. 일반적으로 종격동 림프절의 장경이 15mm 이상이면 폐암 전이로 인정하는 방법이 정확도가 양호하다고 한다. 림프절의 크기가 증가하기 이전의 미소전이 시에는 CT로서의 전이가 인정되지 못한다. 특히 폐암의 조직병리학적 구분에 의한 폐 선암은 다른 폐암보다 미소전이와 원격전이가 잘 되므로, 비선암에 비해 종격동 림프절 전이가 있더라도 CT상에 림프절 크기의 증가가 뚜렷하지 않으리라 생각된다. 이에 저자들은 폐암의 종격동 림프절 전이의 판정 기준으로 CT상의 일정 크기 이상의 기준을 일률적으로 적용하는 것보다는 미소전이가 잘 되는 선암은 비선암보다 림프절 크기의 증가 기준이 낮아야 한다는 생각아래 그 실태를 파악하였다. 방 법: 대상은 원광대학병원에서 원발성 비소세포 폐암으로 진단받고, 근치적 폐암 절제술을 실시받는 60례이다. 남녀비는 남자 46명, 여자 14명이었고, 중간 연령은 61.5세였다. 조직병리학적 구분은 편평상피암이 41례, 대세포암 2례, 선암 17례이다. TNM 병기상 I기가 23례 II기가 24례 IIIA기가 13례였다(Table 1). 수술전 CT상의 림프절 크기와 수술 후 병리학적으로 전이가 확인된 림프절의 크기를 상호 비교하여 비선암 및 선암의 경우에 있어서 각각의 전이 림프절 크기의 차이를 확인한다. 그리고 각 폐암별로 림프절 장경 기준 15mm, 10mm를 각각 폐암 전이기준으로 하였을 때의 예민도, 특이도, 정확도를 계산하여 서로 비교하였다. 결 과: CT상 림프절 장경 10mm 이상인 림프절군에서 수술후 조직병리학상 폐암의 전이가 인정된 림프절의 평균 장경은 비선암군이 16.0($\pm8.0$)mm, 선암군이 12.0($\pm3.2$)mm로서 통계화적으로 유의하게 선암군의 림프절 장경이 비선암군의 림프절 장경보다 작았다(p<0.05). 종격동 림프절의 장경 15mm이상을 폐암 전이로 인정할 경우에 예민도, 특이도, 양성예측율, 음성예측율, 정확도가 비선암군이 54%, 100%, 100%, 83%, 86%였으며 선암군은 43%, 90%, 75%, 69%, 71%였다(Table 2). 종격동 림프절의 장경 10mm 이상을 폐암 전이로 인정할 경우에 예민도, 특이도, 양성예측율, 음성예측율 정확도가 비산암군이 65%, 77%, 61%, 92%, 79%였으며 선암군은 100%, 80%, 78%, 100%, 88%였다(Table 3). 결 론: 선암군에 있어서 종격동 림프절 장경 10mm를 기준으로 하였을때의 폐암 전이 인정의 정확도가 88%로서, 15mm를 기준으로 하였을때의 79%보다 양호함을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Purpose: Submucosal gastric carcinomas metastasize to lymph nodes more often than the intramucosal gastric carcinomas. The objectives of this study are to clarify the characteristics of submucosal gastric carcinomas, especially in reference to the status of lymph node metastasis, and to explore the possibility of a minimally invasive operation. Materials and Methods: The clinicopathologic features of 88 patients with submucosal gastric carcinoma, all of whom were treated with a $D_{2}+\alpha$ gastrectomy between January 1994 and December 1999, were examined retrospectively with respect to the status of lymph nodes. The size, depth of submucosal invasion, histologic differentiation, location,and macroscopic finding of the tumor were investigated in association with the presence or the absence of lymph node metastasis. Results: Among the 88 patients, 15 ($17.05\%$) had lymph node metastasis, and the status of metastasis was significantly correlated with tumor size and depth of submucosal invasion. The frequency of metastasis was $0\%$ (0/7) of up to 1.0 cm and $18.5\%$ (15/81) over 1.0 cm in size (p=0.034) and $6.1\%$ (2/33) of up to 1.0mm and $23.6\%$ (13/55) over 1.0 mm in depth of submucosal invasion (p=0.042). Conclusion: The tumor size and depth of submucosal invasion are useful indicators of lymph node metastasis in submucosal gastric carcinoma. A minimally invasive operation can be applied for submucosal gastric carcinoma up to 1.0 cm in size Further studies are needed to limited surgery for depth of submucosal invasion.

  • Introduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a precise procedure for lymphatic staging in early breast cancer. In a valid SLNB procedure, axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) can be omitted in nodenegative cases without compromising patient safety. In this study, detection rate, accuracy and false negative rate of SLNB for breast cancer was evaluated in a setting with simple modified conventional pathology facilities without any serial sectioning or immunohistochemistry. Material and Medthod: Patients with confirmed breast cancer were enrolled in the study. SLNB and ALND were performed in all cases. Lymph node metastasis was evaluated in SLN and in nodes removed by ALND to determine the false negative rate. Pathologic assessment was carried out only by modified conventional technique with only 3 sections. Detection rate was determined either by lymphoscintigraphy or during surgery. Results: 78 patients with 79 breast units were evaluated. SLN was detected in 75 of 79 cases (95%) in lymphoscintigraphy and 76 of 79 cases (96%) during surgery. SLN metastases was detected in 30 of 75 (40%) cases either in SLNB and ALND groups. Accuracy of SLNB method for detecting LN metastases was 92%. False negative rate was 3 of 30 of positive cases: 10%. In 7 of 10 cases with axillary lymphadenopathy, LN metastastates was detected. Conclusion: SLNB is recommended for patients with various tumor sizes without palpable lymph nodes. In modified conventional pathologic examination of SLNs, at least macrometastases and some micrometastases could be detected similar to ALND. Consequently, ALND could be omitted in node-negative cases with removal of all palpable LNs. We conclude that SLNB, as one of the most important developments in breast cancer surgery, could be expanded even in areas without sophisticated pathology facilities.

  • Purpose: The incidence of lymph node metastasis has been reported to range from 2.6 to 4.8% in early stage gastric cancer with mucosal invasion (T1a cancer). Lymph node metastasis in early stage gastric cancer is known as an important predictive factor. We analyzed the prediction factors of lymph node metastasis in T1a cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 9,912 patients underwent radical gastrectomy due to gastric cancer from October 1994 to July 2006 in the Department Of Surgery at Samsung Medical Center. We did a retrospective analysis of 2,524 patients of these patients, ones for whom the cancer was confined within the mucosa. Results: Among the 2,524 patients, 57 (2.2%) were diagnosed with lymph node metastasis, and of these, cancer staging was as follows: 41 were N1, 8 were N2, and 8 were N3a. Univariate analysis of clinicopathological factors showed that the following factors were significant predictors of metastasis: tumor size larger than 4 cm, the presence of middle and lower stomach cancer, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and signet-ring cell carcinoma, diffuse type cancer (by the Lauren classification), and lymphatic invasion. Multivariate analysis showed that lymphatic invasion and tumor larger than 4 cm were significant factors with P<0.001 and P=0.024, respectively. Conclusions: The frequency of lymph node metastasis is extremely low in early gastric cancer with mucosal invasion. However, when lymphatic invasion is present or the tumor is larger than 4 cm, there is a greater likelihood of lymph node metastasis. In such cases, surgical treatments should be done to prevent disease recurrence.

  • Background: 최근 제안된 조기위암에 대한 미세침습 치료법은 내시경점막하박리술(endoscopic submucosal dissection, ESD)혹은 종양 부위를 전층 절제(endoscopic full-thickness gastric resection, EFTGR)을 통해 위 절제를 최소화하고 동시에 복강경을 통해 감시림프절 절제(sentinel lymph node dissection, SLND)를 시행함으로써 그 가능성을 제시했었고, 이들을 각각 ESN (endoscopic submucosal dissection with laparoscopic sentinel lymph node dissection), Hybrid-NOTES (endoscopic full-thickness gastric resection with laparoscopic sentinel lymph node dissection)라고 명명하였다. 본 고에서는 림프절 전이 위험성이 높은 조기위암에 대해 이 두 치료법을 시행받은 환자들의 장기 추적 결과를 평가하고자 한다. Methods: 이 후향적 연구는 2009년 1월부터 2013년 5월 중에 ESN 혹은 Hybrid-NOTES를 시행받은 환자들이 포함되었다. Results: 총 42명의 환자들이 연구에 포함되었고, ESN 21명, Hybrid-NOTES 21명이 각각 등록되었다. ESN을 시행받은 21명 중 4명, Hybrid-NOTES를 시행받은 5명은 이 미세침습수술 후 추가 수술을 받아야 했다. 아직까지 이 수술 후 사망 환자는 없지만 ESN을 시행받은 1명의 환자에서 림프절 전이가 발견되어 항암치료를 받고 있다. Conclusion: 조기위암의 미세침습 수술인 ESN 혹은 Hybrid-NOTES는 좋은 장기 추적 결과를 보여주었다. 이 방법들은 향후 림프절 전이 위험성이 높은 조기위암에서 ESD와 gastrectomy 사이에 속한 환자들에게 좋은 치료법이 될 수 있을 거라고 생각된다.

  • The survival rate after resectional operation for carcinoma of the esophagus is still very low and many factors contribute to these poor results. We analyze the clinical results of 56 operated patients among 62 esophageal cancer patients between March, 1974 and July, 1988. Among the 62 patients, 52 patients were squamous cell carcinoma and 8 were adenocarcinoma, one was leiomyosarcoma and one was adenosquamous cell carcinoma. The classification of esophageal cancer was based on TNM classification of American Joint Committee on cancer". Among the operated patients, stage I was 5[9.6%], stage II was 13[25%], stage III was 26[50%], stage IV was 8[15.4%]. And its one year survival rate was 80%, 69%, 11.5%, 0% for each stages. The rate of resectability was 30.3% and resection of esophagus with esophagogastrostomy and extended lymph node dissection was performed on 17 patients without distant metastasis or adjacent organ invasion. Substernal esophago-colono-gastrostomy, Celestine tube insertion and feeding gastrostomy was performed on remained 39 patients. The analysis of postoperative survival duration revealed the superiority of esophagectomy with extended lymph node dissection over other palliative operation. [1 year survival rate: 79% versus 21%] We concluded that the survival rate of esophageal resection with lymph node dissection group was superior to nonresective palliative operation group. And transthoracic approach was superior to extrathoracic approach in involved lymph node dissection and esophageal resection in locally invaded cases.ases.

  • Canine osteosarcoma is the most common bone tumor in dog and is characterized by locally aggressive and highly metastatic behavior [1]. Generally malignant tumors meta stasizes by hematogenious routes and rarely through lymphatic pathway, and the lymph node is uncommon metastatic site [2,3]. In this case, the patient has a typical osteosarcoma on his proximal humerus that is the common form of canine OS [4,5]. But the tumor made severe metastatic form to the right axillary lymph node which has a diffuse contribution of osteoid matrix all of the tissue. So, the case is the valuable topic for evaluate the correlation of metastasis to lymph node which is near the primary tumor region and pro gnosis of canine appendicular osteosarcoma. (omitted)
