목적: PCS연구의 목적은 임상 방사선치료 QA의 표준 연구 수단을 구축하고, 방사선치료 과정의 기본 요소를 결정하고, 협동 임상시험의 기반을 제공하고, 외국과의 비교 연구를 위한 기본 자료의 구축에 있다. 우리나라 임상 방사선종양학의 PCS 연구기법으로서 구축한 웹 기반의 PCS 시스템의 개발 및 특성을 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 본 시스템은 메인서버와 외부에 구축한 2중 백업서버로 구성되어 있다. 리눅스 운영 체제 및 MySQL데이터베이스를 이용하여 프로그램을 완성하였다. PCS 대상이 되는 종양으로서의 개발 우선 순위는 1989년부터 1999년 사이에서 우리나라 전국의 방사선종양학과에서 치료빈도가 많은 순서를 근거로 결정하였다. 결과: 2003년 초반에 웹 기반의 임상 PCS시스템이 구축되었다. 웹 주소는 www.pcs.re.kr이며, 우선 유방암, 직장암, 식도암, 후두암, 폐암 및 전이성 뇌종양을 대상으로 하였다. 완성된 개발항목의수는 1,000 항목을 상회하였다. 구축된 시스템은 사용자 편의성 충족, 기입 내용 중복 확인, 자료 기밀성, 자료 보존 및 사본 작성, 이중 백업, 통계 분석 지원등을 구현하였다. 문자화된 자료 외에 영상 자료도 입력되도록 시스템을 구축하였다. 아울러, 임상시험승인 관련 양식지원, 무작위 자료 추출, 방사선종양학과의 구조적 요소 파악 기능도 갖추었다. 결론: 본 시스템은 PCS분야에서는 최초로 구축되고 작동되는 웹 기반 시스템이다. 구축한 시스템을 통해서 단시간 내에 표본 자료의 수집이 가능하여 시간 및 비용을 절약할 수 있게 되었으나 구축자료의 신뢰도 확인을 별도의 검증과정은 필수적이다. 본 연구팀이 개발한 본 웹 기반 시스템은 향후 PCS 연구 또는 자료 수집이 필요한 유사 연구 상황에 응용될 수 있는 표준적인 기법으로서의 활용되기를 희망한다.

A radiation beam incident on an irregular or sloping surface produces the non-uniformity of absorded dose. The use of a tissue compensator can partially correct this dose inhomogeneity. The tissue compensator is designed based on the patient's three dimensional contour. After required compensator thickness was determined according to tissue deficit at $25cm\pm25cm$ field size, 10cm depth for 6MV x-rays, tissue deficit was mapped by isoheight technique using laser beam system. Compensator was constructed along the designed model using 0.8mm lead sheet or 5mm acryl plate. Dosimetric verification were peformed by film dosimetry using humanoid phantom. Dosimetric measurements were normalized to central axis full phantom readings for both compensated and non-compensated field. Without compensation, the percent differences in absorbed dose ranged as high as $12.1\%$ along transverse axis, $10.8\%$ along vertical axis. With the tissue compensators in place, the difference was reduced to $0\~43\%$ Therefore, it can be concluded that the compensator system constructed by isoheihnt technique can produce good dose distribution with acceptible inhomogeneity, and such compensator system can be effectively applied to clinical radiotherapy.

관절주위 골형성은 고관절치환 성형술을 시행받은 환자의 $0.6\~61.7\%$에서 생친 수 있는 합병증이다. 저자들은 1981년 1월부터 1985년 5월까지 서울대학교병원 치료방사선과에서 고관절전치환 성형술 후 관절주위 골형성 예방을 위하여 방사선요법을 시행받은 4명의 환자(8개의 고관절)를 분석하였다. 방사선요법은 수술후 $6\~10$일이내 시작하였으며 2,000cGy를 10회 분할 조사하였다. Modified Brooker system에 의하여 7계의 고관절에서는 Grade(1개 의고관절에서는 Grade) 2의 결과를 얻었다. 저자들의 이번 연구결과 및 문헌조사에 의하면 고관절 성형술 후 관절주위 골형성 예방을 위하여 호발군에 있어서의 방사선요법은 효과적이라고 하겠다.

Total of 53 patients of unresectable and recurrent rectal cancer treated with neutron beam during the period from Oct.1987 to Apr.1992 were analyzed. Dose fractionation for the neutron only group was 1.5 Gy per fraction,3 fraction per week,21 Gy/41/2 wks for 42 patients out of 53 ($76{\%}$). Neutron only but modified fractionation schedule ($10{\%}$ more or less of total dose) was applied for 9 patients, and mixed beam (neutron boost) was for 4 patients, Complete tumor response was obtained in 40 patients ($76{\%}$, response rate). Local control rate was 28 out of 53 ($53{\%}$). Statistically significant better prognostic factors for local control were age below 49 years old (15/22, $68{\%}$) than above 50 years old (13/31, $42{\%}$), male (20/32, $63{\%}$) than female (8/21, $38{\%}$), tumor size less than 5 cm and non-metastatic (16/24, $67{\%}$) than size more than 5 cm or metastatic (12/29, $41{\%}$). Major complication had developed in 7 patients ($13{\%}$). Two year overall survival rate by Kaplan-Meier method was $30{\%}$, but it was rised to, $47{\%}$ when the turner was less than 5 cm non-metastatic.

We present a case of unresectable cancer of the base of tongue treated with hypofractionated 3D conformal radiotherapy and concomitant chemotherapy. Based on the excellent tumour response in this radiotherapy regimen and international experience in short course treatments we shortly reviewed, we propose that this therapeutic approach could be considered in a curative setting for patients unsuitable for the a standard long course radiochemotherapy schedule.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (${\omega}$-3 PUFAs) are essential nutrients for human beings and their potential roles against cancer development and progression have become of wide concern recently. Some studies have suggested that perioperative supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids may have beneficial effects in gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing surgery, while other researchers reported contrary results. This paper reviews recent research to establish therapeutic effects as well as possible underlying mechanisms of ${\omega}$-3 PUFA actions, and to help explain possible reasons for inconsistent results from different institutions.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) represent a heterogeneous group of clonal hematologic neoplasms characterized by morphologic dysplasia, aberrant hematopoiesis and peripheral blood refractory cytopenias. MDS is recognized to be associated with an increased risk of symptomatic anemia, infectious complications and bleeding diathesis, as well as a risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia, particularly in patients with a high IPSS score. The advent of use of hematopoietic growth factors such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and recombinant erythropoietin (EPO) has improved symptoms in MDS patients in addition to some data that suggest there might be an improvement in survival. G-CSF is an effective therapeutic option in MDS patients, and it should be considered for the management of refractory symptomatic cytopenias. G-CSF and EPO in combination can improve outcomes in appropriate MDS patients such as those with lower-risk MDS and refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts (RARS). This article reviews use of growth factors for lower-risk MDS patients, and examines the data for G-CSF, EPO and thrombopietic growth factors (TPO) that are available or being developed as therapeutic modalities for this challenging disease.

As intensity modulated radiation therapy compared with conventional radiation therapy, tumor target dose increased and normal tissues and critical organs dose reduced. In brain tumor, treatment planning of intensity modulated radiation therapy was practiced in 4MV, 6MV, 15MV X-ray energy. In these X-ray energy, was considered the dose distribution and dose volume histogram. As 4MV X-ray compared with 6MV and 15MV, maximum dose of right optic-nerve increased 10.1 %, 8.4%. Right eye increased 5.2%, 2.7%. And left optic-nerve, left eye, optic chiasm and brainstem incrased 1.7% - 5.2%. Even though maximum dose of PTV and these critical organs show different from 1.7% - 10.1% according to X-ray energies, these are a piont dose. Therefore in brain tumor, treatment planning of intensity modulated radiation therapy in 9 treatment field showed no relation with energy dependency.

임신중의 침윤성 자궁경부암은 비교적 드물다. 임신중 자궁경부암 치료는 암의 제거뿐 아니라 태아의 생명도 고려해야 한다. 임신초기 및 중기에 진단을 받았을 시에는 치료는 즉시 시작되어야 하고 임신후기에는 태아의 생명력이 있을 때까지 치료는 연기되어야 한다.
