Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of aroma oil inhalation using peppermint and bergamot on nausea vomiting and anorexia in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Method: Study subjects were 30 patients who had experienced nausea and vomiting when they had been hospitalized in K university hospital located in D city after receiving more than two Cisplatin combination chemotherapy treatments. Among them 15 patients were in the experimental group doing aroma oil inhalation and the other 15 patients were in the control group without aroma oil inhalation. The data were collected from February 1, 2002 to May 17, 2002. The data were analyzed with SPSS WIN 10.0 program using frequency, percentage, $x^2$-test, t-test, Repeated Measures ANOVA. Result: 1) The degree of nausea and vomiting in the experimental group with aroma oil inhalation using peppermint and bergamot were significantly lower than that of the control group. 2) The degree of anorexia in the experimental group with aroma oil inhalation using peppermint and bergamot were significantly lower than that of the control group. Conclusion: aroma oil inhalation was effective for relieving patients' nausea vomiting and anorexia receiving chemotherapy. Therefore, it is proposed that aroma oil inhalation should be applied as a supportive nursing arbitration method to relieve patients' nausea vomiting and anorexia who are receiving chemotherapy.

연구배경 : 절제가 불가능한 비소세포 폐암 환자에 대한 복합화학요법의 유용성은 아직도 분명치 않다. 그러나, cisplatin을 주축으로하는 복합화학요법의 반응율은 항암제 단독 투여시의 반응율 보다, 또한 high-dose cisplatin군의 반응율이 low-dose cisplatin군의 반응율보다 높은 것으로 최근 보고되고 있다. 복합화학요법(high VPP), 복합화학요법과 방사선 치료의 병행요법이 진행된 비소세포 폐암에서 생존율을 증가시키는지 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시작하였다. 방법 : 조직학적으로 비소세포 폐암으로 진단된 stage III이상의 환자 35명을 대상으로 하였다. 이들중, 19명은 VP-16과 high-dose cisplatin(100 $mg/m^2$)으로 구성되는 복합화학요법 그리고 복합화학요법과 방사선 치료를 시행받았으며, 나머지 16명은 치료를 받지 않았다. 두군간의 생존율과 반응율의 차이 및 치료에 다른 부작용을 알아보기 위해 환자의 병록 일지를 검토하였다. 결과: 1) 전체적인 객관적 반응율은 한명의 완전관해를 포함하여 47%(9/19) 였다. 2) 복합화학요법과 방사선 치료를 병행하여 받은 환자군에서의 반응율은 한명의 완전관해를 포함하여 60%(6/10) 였으며, 3개월, 6개월 및 127개월 생존율은 각각 100%, 70% 및 40% 였다. 3) 복합화학요법을 받은 환자군에서의 반응율은 완전관해 없이 33%(3/9) 였으며, 3개월, 6개월 및 12개월 생존율은 각각 78%, 67% 및 33% 였다. 4) 전체적으로 치료군에서 비치료군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 (p<0.05) 생존기간이 연장되었다(중앙생간 307일과 95일). 5) 여러 예후인자에 따른 분석에서 운동능력이 좋을수록, stage III에서 그리고 편평상피암에서 좋은 반응율을 보였다. 6) 부작용으로서는 오성과 구토(100%), 탈모증(90%), 빈혈(79%), 백혈구 감소증 (69%), 혈소판 감소증(2%), creatinine의 증가(16%) 그리고 신경독성(5%) 등이 있었다. 결론 : 이상의 결과로 진행된 비소세포 폐암 환자에 대한 hign VPP 복합화학요법은 비치료군에 비해 치료군에서 생존율을 높이는 비교적 좋은 효과가 있으므로 좋은 적응증을 가진 환자들을 선택하여 효과적인 항암치료 및 방사선 치료를 시행하여야 할 것으로 사료된다. 그러나, hign VPP 복합화학요법에 따른 효과 개선은 본 연구 결과에선 뚜렷하지 않으므로 보다 많은 증례에서 추구 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다.

Since the successful introduction of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and its combination with anthracycline-containing chemotherapy, the prognosis for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has markedly improved. With ATRA and anthracycline-based-chemotherapy, the complete remission rate is greater than 90%, and the long-term survival rate is 70-89%. Moreover, arsenic trioxide (ATO), which was introduced for APL treatment in 1994, resulted in excellent remission rates in relapsed patients with APL, and more recently, several clinical studies have been designed to explore its role in initial therapy either alone or in combination with ATRA. APL is a rare disease in children and is frequently associated with hyperleukocytosis, which is a marker for higher risk of relapse and an increased incidence of microgranular morphology. The frequency of occurrence of the promyelocytic leu-kemia/retinoic acid receptor-alpha (PML/$RAR{\alpha}$) isoforms bcr 2 and bcr 3 is higher in children than in adults. Although recent clinical studies have reported comparable long-term survival rates in patients with APL, therapy for APL in children is challenging because of the risk of early death and the potential long-term cardiac toxicity resulting from the need to use high doses of anthracyclines. Additional prospective, randomized, large clinical trials are needed to address several issues in pediatric APL and to possibly minimize or eliminate the need for chemotherapy by combining ATRA and ATO. In this review article, we discuss the molecular pathogenesis, diagnostic progress, and most recent therapeutic advances in the treatment of children with APL.

Two dogs with spontaneously developing osteosarcoma of the extremities and one dogs with spontaneously developing osteosarcoma of the mandible were referred to the University of Tokyo Veterinary Medical Center. Three dogs were diagnosed as osteosarcoma by clinical sign, radiography, and histological examination. After diagnosis, two dogs was treated by amputation and one dog by partial mandibulectomy. Three weeks after two surgery, all dogs administered cisdiamminedichloroplatinum (cisplatin) chemotherapy 40-50 mg/$m^2$, IV of body surface. After cisplatin therapy, dog 1 and dog 3 survived without overt metastasis. Dog 2 died of metastatic disease. The survival times of dog 1, dog 2, and dog 3 were estimated to be 69.5, 36.3 and 66.4 weeks, respectively. It was thought that the surgery in combination with cisplatin chemotherapy was a useful method to treat a canine osteosarocoma.

Despite optimal local therapy such as surgery and/or radiotherapy, the long term outcome is poor for patients with advanced squamous cell carcinomma of head and neck, due to frequent loco-regional recurrence and distant metastases. We studied to determine whether the combination chemotherapy, especially as an adjuvant chemotherapy, would improve the survival of these patients. Between January, 1986 and December, 1992, 57 patients with previously untreated, locally advanced squamous cell arcinoma of head and neck were assigned to receive 2-3 cycles of induction chemotherapy consisting of 5-fluorouracil(F) and cisplatin(P) every 3 weeks and standard local therapy such as surgery and/or radiotherapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with the same FP regimens. Of the 57 enroled patients, 45 patients were evaluable. The obtained results were as following: 1) Among 45 evaluable patients, 18 patients finished all treatment protocol including adjuvant chemotherapy and 27 patients had no adjuvant chemotherapy. The difference of age, sex, performance status, disease stage, and tumor differentiation was not significant statistically between adjuvant chemotherapy group and no-adjuvant chemotherapy group. 2) After induction chemotherapy, 7/45(15.4%), 30/45(67%) achieved complete remission and partial remission respectively with 82.4% overall response rates in entire patients. 3) The 4year progression free survival was 43.3% in adjuvant chemotherapy group and 24.1% in no-adjuvant chemotherapy group(p>0.05). The 4year overall survival was 56.9% and 25.5% respectively(p>0.05). There was no significant different in the patterns of local recurrence and distant metastasis between the two groups. 4) Adverse reactions from combination chemotherapy included nausea, vomiting, mucositis, diarrhea and hematologic bone marrow depression. These were mild and tolerated by patients, and these was no episode of any life threatening toxicities. In conclusion, adjuvant chemotherapy after induction chemotherapy and local therapy did not show statistically significant survival improvement, but there was trend of prolongation of survival when compared to no adjuvant chemotherapy. Thus, large scale phase III randomized controlled studies are strongly recommended.

Background: Second line chemotherapy is often considered in advanced gastric cancers. We assessed irinotecan in combination with fluorouracil in patients experienced diseases progression after first line chemotherapy. Methods: Prospective trial was done at 7 centers in republic of Korea. Patients aged 18 years or older with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma and disease progression on or within 4 months after first-line chemotherapy were assigned to receive irinotecan 180 mg/m² and 5-fluorouraicl 400 mg/m² intravenously bolus injection on days 1 and leucovorin 200 mg/m² for 2 hours and 5-fluorouracil 600 mg/m² for 22 hours intravenously infusion on day 2 of a 14-day cycle (FOLFIRI group). The primary endpoint was objective tumor response (OR). Efficacy analysis was by per-protocol, and safety analysis included all patients who received at least one treatment with study drug. Results: Between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2016, 28 patients were assigned to FOLFIRI treatment. Of those 20 patients were completed the study protocol. Per-protocol analysis, two patients among 20 subjects (10.0%) showed partial response. Overall survivals of FOLFIRI group; median 10.1 months [95% CI 4.9-15.3] Grade 3 and higher adverse event that occurred about 5%, but grade 3 or higher febrile neutropenia or life threatening complication was not reported. Conclusion: Combination chemotherapy with irinotecan, 5-FU, and LV is feasible in gastric cancer patients previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy

Peritoneal metastasis (PM) frequently occurs in patients with gastric cancer (GC) and confers a dismal prognosis despite advances in systemic chemotherapy. While systemic chemotherapy has poor peritoneal penetration, intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy remains sequestered, resulting in high peritoneal drug concentrations with less systemic side-effects. The first application of IP treatment was hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis (GCPM); but was associated with an increased morbidity and mortality rate without significantly improving overall survival (OS). While CRS confers limited benefit, the potential role of prophylactic HIPEC and laparoscopic neoadjuvant HIPEC are currently being evaluated. Combination systemic and IP chemotherapy (SIPC) gained popularity in the 1990s, since it provided the benefits of IP treatment while reducing surgical morbidity, demonstrating promising early results in multiple Phase II trials. Unfortunately, these findings were not confirmed in the recent PHOENIX-GC randomized controlled trial; therefore, the appropriate treatment for GCPM remains controversial. Small observational studies from Japan and Singapore have reported successful downstaging of PM in GC patients receiving SIPC who subsequently underwent conversion gastrectomy with a median OS of 21.6-34.6 months. Recently, the most significant development in IP-directed therapy is pressurized IP aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC). Given that aerosol chemotherapy achieves a wider distribution and deeper penetration, the outcomes of multiple ongoing trials assessing its efficacy are eagerly awaited. Indeed, IP-directed therapy has evolved rapidly in the last 3 decades, with an encouraging trend toward improved outcomes in GCPM, and may offer some hope for an otherwise fatal disease.
