  • Background: The aim was to see compliance to minimum data set information in carcinoma cervix histopathology reports from a team of 13 pathologists; and also to analyse the distribution of parameters like tumor size, grade, depth of cervical stromal invasion, lymph node yield and pTNM stage. Materials and Methods: All pathology reports of radical hysterectomy for carcinoma cervix operated in house within a three year duration (2010-2012), (n=204) were retrieved from medical records and analyzed for the above parameters. Results: In 2010- 59 cases, in 2011- 67 cases and in 2012- 78 cases of carcinoma cervix underwent operations in our hospital. The median age was 50.5 years and the maximum T diameter was 2.8 cms in the reports of three years. Squamous carcinoma was the commonest subtype amongst all the tumors. It was noted that 60.8% of cases had cervical stromal involvement more than half the thickness of the cervical stroma. Parametrial involvement was seen in 4.82% of cases. pTNM Staging was not mentioned in 65.06% of the cases. The mean bilateral pelvic lymph node yield count in our study was 16.6 inclusive of all the three years. Conclusions: Compliance with provision of a minimum dataset in our team of 13 pathologists was generally good. Lymph node yield in our hands is reasonable, but constant striving for greater numbers should be made. pTNM staging should be more meticulously documented. Use of proformas /checklists is recommended.

  • This is a retrospective cohort analysis of 58 patients who treated with postoperative radiation therapy following radical hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic adenectomy for early stage carcinoma of uterine cervix between January 1988 and December 1990 at department of radiation oncology, Keimyoung University Hospital. Sixteen percent of patients (9/58) had chemotherapy. Most patients were FIGO I b (47 patients), and FIGO I a and II a were one and ten patients, respectively. The median follow-up periods were 48.5 months. The indications for radiation therapy included pelvic lymph node metastasis, large tumor size, deep stromal invasion, lymphovascular invasion, positive surgical margin, endometrial invasion and parametrial invasion. Eighty five percent of the patients had more than one risk factor. The actuarial overall five year survival rate (5 YSR) and five year disease free survival rate (5 YDFSR) were $89.5\%,\;and\;87.8\%,$ respectively. Their overall recurrence rate was $12.1\%,$(758). Distant metastasis was the most common cause of treatment failure $(71.4\%:5/7).$ The univariate analysis of prognostic factors affecting to five year survival rate disclosed pelvic lymph node status (negative: $95.5\%,\;positive:69.2\%,$ p=0.006) and hemoglobin level $(\le11 :75\%,>11g/dl:93.3\%,p=0.05)$ as significant factor. The age status was marginally significant $(\le40:96.0\%,\;>\;40:84.3\%p=0.15).$ Multivariate analysis clarified three independent prognostic factors: pelvic lymph node metastasis (p=p.006), hemoglobin level (p=0.015) and age (p=0.035). Multivariate analysis of prognostic factor affecting to five year disease free survival rate disclosed pelvic lymph node status (p=0.0078) and status of surgical margin (p=0.008). Complications relating to radiotherapy were $10.3\%,(6/58).$ There were no severe major complication requiring surgical intervention or a long hospital stay. It is our opinion that the benefit of postoperative pelvic radiotherapy may be gained in such a high risk patient population with acceptible morbidity.

  • Background: To evaluate the success rate of balloon dilation and the factors possibly influencing the outcomes of balloon dilation for the ureteric strictured portion of ureteroureterostomy (UUS) site in patients with post-gynecologic surgeries. Methods: A single institution data base was screened for the patients who received balloon dilation for a treatment of ureteral stricture diagnosed after gynecologic surgery. Overall 114 patients underwent primary intra-operative UUS due to ureteral injury during gynecologic surgery. Among them, 102 patients received balloon dilation, and their medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Success of balloon dilation was defined as the condition that requires no further clinical interventions after 6 months from balloon dilation. Results: The ureter injury rate of women treated with open radical abdominal hysterectomy was highest (32 cases, 31.4%). 60 patients (60.8%) showed successful outcomes regarding dilation. All patients underwent technically successful dilation with a full expansion of balloon during the procedure, but 40 patients (39.2%) were clinically unsuccessful as they showed a recurrence of ureteral stricture on the previous balloon dilation site after the first dilation procedure. Univariate logistic regression analyses showed that stricture length >2 cm was a significant predictor of successful dilation (odds ratio, 0.751; 95% confidence interval, 0.634-0.901; p-value, 0.030), but it failed to achieve independent predictor status in multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Balloon dilation can an effective alternative treatment option for strictured portion of the primary UUS in post-gynecologic surgery patients when its length is <2 cm.

  • 목적 : 조기 자궁경부암에서 근치적 수술 후에 절제연이 양성인 환자에서 수술후 방사선치료의 역할을 알아보기 위하여 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 근치적 수술후 방사선치료를 받은 환자 809예 중에서 절제연이 양성인 환자 60예를 대상으로 하였다. 48예는 질 절제연 양성이었고 12예는 자궁방 절제연 양성이었다. 방사선치료는 외부조사와 함께 환자에 따라서 강내치료를 추가하였다. 추적 관찰 기간의 중앙값은 55개월이었다. 결과 : 전체 환자 60예의 무병생존율과 생존율은 5년에 각각 $75.2\%$, $84.1\%$였다. 질 절제연 양성인 환자 48예에 있어서는 강내치료를 추가한 43예 중 9예가 재발했고($21\%$), 외부조사만 시행한 환자 5예 중 2예가 재발했다($40\%$). 자궁방 절제연 양성이었던 12예의 환자에서는 3예의 원격전이가 관찰되었다. 모든 환자 중 19예에서 치료에 의한 후유증을 보였으며($30\%$), III도의 심한 후유증은 3예($5\%$)에서 관찰되었다. 예후인자의 분석에서는 림프절 전이 여부만이 생존율에 영향을 미치는 유일한 예후인자로 분석되었다. 결론 : 절제연이 양성인 조기 자궁경부암 환자에서 수술후 방사선치료로 $93\%$의 높은 국소제어율을 얻을 수 있었다. 절제연이 양성인 경우에 수술후 방사선치료는 필수적이며, 질 절제연이 양성인 경우에는 강내치료를 추가해야 할 것이며, 생존율을 향상시키기 위해서는 원격전이에 대해서 보다 효과적인 항암 화학요법 등이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

  • 목적 : 난소 미분화배세포종은 젊은 가임기 여성에 발생하며 방사선에 대한 감수성이 높아 복식자궁전적출술 및 난관난소절제술 후 방사선치료를 시행하는 것이 통상적인 치료 방법이었다. 항암화학요법을 본격적으로 사용하기 이전에 서울내학교병원에서 방사선치료를 받은 환자를 대상으로 친료 성적을 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1980년 8월에서 1991년 5월까지 서울대학교병원 치료방사선과에서 방사선치료를 받은 18명을 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였는데, 16명의 환자는 수술 후 방사선치료를 받았고, 나머지 2명은 근치적 목적으로 방사선치료를 받았다. 수술 후 방사선치료를 받은 환자들의 추적기간은 51개월에서 178개월로 중앙값은 99개월이었다. 연령분포는 11세부터 42세로 중앙값은 22세이었다. 병기별 분포는 IA기 3명, IC기 8명, 11기 2명, 111기 3명이었다. 1명의 환자에서 Turner's syndrome이 동반되어 있었다. 방사선치료는 6 MV와 10 MV 선형가속기나 Co-60 원 격치료장치를 이용하였으며, 전 복부에 1950-2100cGy(중앙값=2000cGy)후 골반부에 1050-2520cGy를 추가하여 골반부에 총 3000-4500cGy(중앙값=3500cGy)를 조사하였다. 5명의 환자에 서는 대동맥임파절 부위에 900-1500cGy를 조사하였고, 대동맥 임파절 전이가 있었던 1명에서는 1620cGy후 전이 부위에 900cGy를 추가하여 총 4470cGy를 조사하였다. 대동맥 임파절 전이가 있었던 1명을 포함한 5명의 환자에서는 종격동 및 쇄골 상부에 2520cGy를 조사하였다. 절제가 불가능하여 방사선치료만 받은 2명의 환자는 111기 1명과 좌측 쇄골상 임파절 전이가 동반된 IV기 1명이었다. III기 환자에서는 전 복부에 2000cGy후 골반부에 2070cGy, 대동맥 임파절에 2450cGy를, IV기 환자에서는 전 복부에 2000cGy후 골반부 및 대동맥 임파절에 2400cGy, 종격동에 2520cGy 그리고 좌측 쇄골 상부에 3550cGy를 조사하였다. 결과 : 난관난소절제술 후 방사선치료를 시행 받은 환자의 5년 국소 치유율은 $100\%$이었으며 종격동 조사를 시행하지 않은 131기 환자 1명에서 종격동 전이가 발생하였으나 항암화학요법으로 치유되어, 전체 환자에서의 5턴 생존율은 $100\%$를 보였다. 방사선치료만 받은 2명의 환자는 각각 112, 155개월간 무병 생존하고 있다. 결론 : 난소 미분화배세포종에 있어서 난관난소절제술 후 방사선치료는 물론 수술이 불가능한 경우의 방사선치료의 완치율은 매우 높았다. 그러나, 방사선만 아니라 항암화학요법에 대한 감수성이 높고 치유율이 높으므로 난소의 기능을 보존할 필요가 있는 경우에는 항암화학요법을 시행하고 항암화학요법에 저항성이 있거나 치료 후에 재발된 경우에 방사선치료를 적용하는 것이 타당할 것이다.

  • 목적 : 본 연구에서는 자궁경부암에서 VEGF의 발현과 기존의 예후인자들인 종양의 크기, 골반내 림프절 전이, 자궁경부 심부침윤, 림프계 침윤, 혈관계 침윤과의 상관관계를 분석하고, 생존율을 분석하여 VEGF의 예후 예측인자로서의 임상적 의의에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 대상환자들은 1986년 1월부터 1998년 10월까지 연세대학교 원주의과대학 원주기독병원에서 자궁경부암으로 진단 받고 자궁근치 절제술과 양측 골반 림프절 절제술을 받은 FIGO 병기 IB인 환자 118명으로, 88명은 수술 후 화학요법이나 방사선치료가 시행되었다. VEGF 발현은 수술을 시행한 파라핀 조직을 가지고 면역조직화학 염색을 시행하여 평가하였다. 분석은 염색의 강도에 따라 0, +, ++, +++로 판정하였으며 0에서 ++까지를 저발현(low expression), + + +를 고발현(high expression)으로 분류하였다. 결과 : 대상 환자 118명중 VEGF 고발현을 보이는 환자는 35명$(29.7\%)$이었으며 VEGF 발현은 자궁경부 심부침윤(p=0.01)과 골반내 림프절 전이(p=0.03)와 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 5년 생존율과 무병생존율은 VEGF 발현이 낮을 때 각각 $85.6\%,\;79.7\%$이었고, 고발현일때는 $98.5\%,\;100\%$로 의미 있는 차이를 보였다(p=0.03, <0.001). 다변량분석에서 생존율에 의미 있는 예후인자는 VEGF 발현(p=0.03)과 골반내 림프절전이(p=0.03)였고 무병생존율에 의미 있는 예후인자는 VEGF 발현(p<0.001), 그리고 종양의 크기(p=0.01)였다. 전 118예 중 12예에서 재발을 보였는데(골반내 재발 7예, 원격전이 5예) 이 중 11예가 VEGF 고발현을 보인 환자이었고 단 1예에서 VEGF 저발현을 보여, VEGF 발현이 높은 환자에서 골반내 재발(p=0.001)과 원격전이(p<0.001)가 의미 있게 높았다. 결론 : 면역조직화학염색을 통한 VEGF 발현의 정도는 조기 자궁경부암에서 기존의 치료 후 재발의 위험도가 높은 환자들을 찾아내는데 가장 의미 있는 예후 인자의 하나로 생각되며 나아가서 향후 VEGF 항체 등의 새로운 혈관억제요법의 임상연구를 시도하는데 있어서도 적합한 대상 환자들을 찾아내는데 유용한 지표로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • Background: To investigate the impact of ovarian transposition (OT) on survival rates of the patients with stage Ib squamous cell cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: Ninety-two subjects who underwent a radical hysterectomy including oophorectomy were evaluated. For nineteen (20.7%), OT was performed. Patients were divided into two groups, OT versus oophorectomy alone. The primary end-point of this study was to investigate the impact of OT on tumor recurrence rate and time, 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). These comparisons were performed for subgroups including patients who received radiotherapy versus who did not. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Chi-square test, T-test and Mann-Whitney test. OS was examined using the Kaplan-Meier method. $P{\leq}0.05$ was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The median follow-up period was 89 months for OT and 81 months for the oophorectomy group (p>0.05). Both groups experienced similar recurrence rates (31.6% vs. 26.4%, p=0.181). The median duration from surgery to recurrence, and surgery to death were also similar between the groups (p>0.05). The 5-year DFS and OS rates were both 68.4% for the OT group, and 73.6% and 77.8% for the oophorectomy group (p=0.457 and p=0.307, respectively). While the 5-year DFS rate was not statistically significant between the OT and oophorectomy groups who did not receive radiotherapy (p=0.148), the 5-year OS rate was significantly higher in the oophorectomy group (95.4% vs 66.7%, respectively) without radiotherapy (p=0.05). The 5-year DFS and OS rates were statistically similar between the groups who received adjuvant radiotherapy (p>0.05). Conclusions: Ovarian transposition has not significantly negative effect on the survival rates when adjuvant radiotherapy will be applied, while 5-year OS may be less in OT group if radiotherapy is not mandatory.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the impact of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) on patterns of failure and survivals in uterine carcinosarcoma patients treated with radical surgery. Materials and Methods: Between October 1998 and August 2010, 19 patients with stage I-III uterine carcinosarcoma received curative hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with or without PORT at Seoul National University Hospital. Their hospital medical records were retrospectively reviewed. PORT and non-PORT groups included 11 and 8 patients, respectively. They were followed for a mean of 22.7 months (range, 7.8 to 126.6 months). Results: At 5 years, the overall survival rates were 51.9% for entire, 61.4% for PORT, and 41.7% for non-PORT groups, respectively. There was no statistical difference between PORT and non-PORT groups with regard to overall survival (p = 0.682). Seven out of 19 (36.8%) patients showed treatment failures, which all happened within 12 months. Although the predominant failures were distant metastasis in PORT group and loco-regional recurrence in non-PORT group, there was no statistically significant difference in locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS) (p = 0.362) or distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) (p = 0.548). Lymph node metastasis was found to be a significant prognostic factor in predicting poor LRRFS (p = 0.013) and DMFS (p = 0.021), while the International Federation Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (p = 0.043) was associated with LRRFS. Conclusion: Considering that adjuvant radiotherapy after surgical resection was effective to decrease loco-regional recurrence and most treatment failures were distant metastasis, multimodal therapy including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy might be an optimal treatment for uterine carcinosarcoma patients.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the treatment outcomes of adjuvant external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and vaginal brachytherapy (VB) following radical hysterectomy in cervical cancer patients with involved vaginal resection margin (VRM). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 21 patients treated with postoperative EBRT and VB for positive VRM FIGO stage IB-IIA cervical cancer between 2003 and 2015. Concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy was administered to all patients. Results: The median whole pelvis EBRT dose was 50.4 Gy (range, 45 to 50.4 Gy). In the VB, the median dose per fraction, number of fractions, and total dose delivered were: 4 Gy (range, 3.0 to 4.0 Gy), 4 fractions (range, 3 to 5 fractions), and 16 Gy (range, 12 to 20 Gy), respectively. At a median follow-up of 46 months (range, 9 to 122 months), local recurrence was observed in 2 patients, and distant metastasis was present in 7 patients. All patients with local recurrence subsequently developed distant metastases. The 5-year local control, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates were 89.1%, 65.9%, and 62.9%, respectively. Of the 21 patients, 7 patients (33.3%) reported grade 2 acute toxicity; however, there were no grade 3 or higher acute adverse events. Grade 1-2 late toxicities were observed in 8 patients. Late grade 3 urinary toxicity was reported in 1 patient. Conclusions: Adjuvant EBRT and VB showed excellent local control and low toxicity in cervical cancer patients with positive VRM. Although limited by its retrospective nature, the findings from our study provide evidence supporting the use of additional VB in pathologically involved VRM.
