  • 목적 :비인두암 환자에서 항암화학요법과 방사선치료 후 국소종양제어율, 생졸율, 무병생존율에 미치는 예후 인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1986년 7월부터 1996년 6월까지 약 10년간 전남대학교병원에서 비인두암으로 확진되어 근치적 목적으로 치료를 받은 47명의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 대상 환자의 연령 분포는 16세에서 80세까지였고 중앙값은 52세였다. 성별 분포는 남자가 33명(70$\%$), 여자가 14명(30$\%$)이었다. WHO의 기준에 의한 조직학적 유형은 제1형(제라틴형성 편평세포암)이 3례(6$\%$), 제2형(비케라틴형성 편평세포암)이 30례(64$\%$), 제3형(미분화암)이 13례(28$\%$)였고 나머지 1례(2$\%$)는 조직학적 유형이 알려지지 않았다. 미국암합동위원회(1997)의 병기분류법에 따라 후향적으로 다시 분류한 병기는 71, T2a, T2b, 73, 74에서 각각 11례(23$\%$), 6례(13$\%$), 9례(19$\%$), 7례(15$\%$), 14례(30$\%$)였다. 그리고 림프절 침범 상태는 NO, Nl, N2, N3에서 각각 7례(15$\%$), 14례(30$\%$), 21례(45$\%$), 5례(l0$\%$,) 있었다. 병기군별 분포는 Stage 1, IIA, IIB, III, IVA, IVB에서 각각 2례(4$\%$), 2례(4$\%$), 10례(21$\%$), 14례(30$\%$), 14례(30$\%$), 5례(11$\%$) 있었다. 방사선치료 전에 항암제 치료를 받은 환자는 42례이며 5례는 항암제 치료가 시행되지 않았다. 방사선치료는 선형가속기의 6MV와 10MV X-ray 및 9MeV 전자선을 사용하였으며 원발 병소에 조사된 총방사선량은 6120-7920cGy(중앙값 : 7020cGy)였다. 항암화학요법 은 Cisplatin+5-Fluorouracii(25명), Cispiatin+pepleomycin(17명)으로 1회에서 3회까지 시행하였다. 국소종양제어율, 생졸율, 무병생존율을 Haplan-Meier법에 의하여 산출하였으며 두 군간의 생존율의 차이는 GeneraliBed t띤cokon test를 이용하여 검증하였다. 영향을 주는 인자의 다변량분석에는 Cox 모델을 이용하였다. 결과 : 국소종양 제어율은 2년에 89$\%$, 5년에 81$\%$이었다. 5년 생존율을 60$\%$,(범위: 6-132개월, 중앙값: 106개월)이었다. 예후에 영향을 미치는 위험 일자로 연렬, 성별, 뇌신경침범, 병리조직학적 유형, 병기군, 항암화학요법, 항암화학 요법과 방사선치료 사리의 간격, 방사선량, 방사선치료기간을 다변량분석에 포함시켰다. 국소종양제어율에는 뇌신경침범(P=0.004)만이 의의 있는 것으로 나타났다. 생존율과 무병생존율에는 병기군(P=0.006, P=0.006)과 총방사선량 (P=0.012, P=0.008)이 의의 있는 것으로 나타났다. 치료 후 합병증은 구강건조증, 치아손상, 이증상 등이 많았으며 2례의 갑상선기능저하증이 있었다. 결론 : 비인두암에서 예후에 영향을 미치는 인자로서 국소종양제어율은 뇌신경침범 여부가, 생존율 및 무병생존율에는 총방사선량과 병기군, 특히 N 병기가 의의 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 사용된 항암화학요법과 방사선치료는 심각한 부작용이 없이 효과적으로 이용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

  • 목적 : 혈관조영상 잠재혈관기형(angiographically occult vascular malformation, AOVM)의 치료에 정위방사선수술을 적용하여 병변의 영상학적 반응과 임상 경과, 치료에 대한 부작용을 분석하여 AOVM의 치료 시 정위방사선수술의 역할을 정립하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 1995년 2월부터 1999년 12월까지 AOVM으로 진단 받은 11명(12병변)의 환자에 대하여 선형가속기를 이용한 정위방사선수술을 시행하였다. 모든 병변은 자기공명영상에서 병변의 중심부에는 이질적인 고신호를 보이며, 저신호의 테두리로 둘러 쌓여 경계가 분명한 혈관기형 소견을 보였다. 정위방사선수술 시 처방선량은 회전중심점 선량 기준으로 67~80% (중앙값 80%) 등선량곡면에 13~25 Gy (중앙값 16 Gy)이었으며, 모두 단일 회전중심점을 이용하였고, 8~20mm (중앙값 14 mm) 크기의 원형 콜리메이터를 사용하였다. 결과 : 추적관찰 기간은 12~56개월(중앙값 42개월)이었다. 재출혈이 일어난 경우는 3예로 치료 후 5, 6, 12개월 때 각 1차례씩 발생하였고 이후 추가적인 재출혈은 없었다. 정위방사선수술로 인한 조직괴사는 2예에서 발생하였으며, 모두 영구적인 신경학적 후유증을 초래하였다. 임상증세를 동반하지 않은 채 T2 강조영상에서 병변 주위의 부종이 관찰된 경우도 1예 발생하였다. 결론 : 정위방사선수술을 이용한 AOVM의 치료는 재출혈을 효과적으로 방지할 수 있는 치료방법으로 생각된다. 그러나 동정맥기형에 비하여 신경학적 후유증이 발생할 확률이 높기 때문에 치료 환자의 선택과 처방선량의 결정 시에는 보다 신중한 고려가 필요하다.

  • 목 적: 투과성 필터를 이용하여 방사선치료를 받은 부비동 및 비암 환자에서 생존율 및 치료실패 양상을 분석하여 향후 치료계획을 할 때 도움을 주고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1992년 2월부터 2002년 3월까지 계명대학교 동산의료원 방사선종양학과에서 부비동 및 비암으로 진단받고 투과성 필터를 이용하여 방사선치료를 받은 환자 17명을 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 대상환자의 성별분포는 남자가 9명, 여자가 8명이었으며 연령분포는 $40{\sim}75$세(중앙값 59세)였다. 비강암이 7명, 부비동암이 10명이었고 조직학적으로 편평상피세포암이 11명, 선양낭성암종이 4명, 후신경모세포종이 2명이었다. AJCC 병기에 따라 II기가 3명, III기가 7명, IV기가 7명이었다. 방사선치료단독은 5명, 수술 후 방사선치료를 받은 환자는 12명이었다. 방사선치료는 일회 $1.8{\sim}2.0\;Gy$로 총 $44{\sim}76\;Gy$ (중앙값 60 Gy)를 조사하였다. 추적관찰기간은 $3{\sim}173$개월(중앙값 78개월)이었다. 결 과: 2년 생존율과 무병생존율은 76.4%이었고 5년, 10년 생존율은 각각 76.4%, 45.6%, 5년, 10년 무병생존율은 70.6%이었다. 수술유무에 따른 5년 무병생존율은 수술을 시행한 군은 91.6% 수술을 시행하지 않은 환자군은 20%로 통계적으로 유의하게 차이가 있었다(p=0.006). 병리 형태나 병기에 따른 생존율의 차이는 없었다. 5명(29%)의 국소재발률을 보였으며 원격전이는 없었고 수술을 요하는 심각한 부작용은 없었다. 결 론: 부비동 및 비암에서 투과성 필터를 이용한 방사선치료는 안전하고 효과적이며 국소제어율을 높이기 위해 수술과 방사선치료의 병합요법이 바람직하며 방사선 단독으로 치료할 때는 국소제어와 생존율을 향상시키기 위해 정교한 치료계획을 통해 방사선량을 증가시키고 다학제 치료를 고려해야 할 것이다.

  • Purpose : The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness, survival rate and complication of radiation in nasopharyngeal cancer. Materials and Methods : From January 1980 to May 1989. Fifty patients who had nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with curative radiation therapy at Kosin Medical Center were retrospectively studied. Thirty seven patients($74{\%}$) were treated with radiation therapy alone(Group I) and 13 patients ($26{\%}$) treated with combination of chemotherapy and radiation (Group II). Age distribution was 16-75 years(median : 45.8 years). In histologic type, squamous cell carcinoma was in 30 patients($60{\%}$), undifferentiated carcinoma in 17 patients($34{\%}$), and lymphoepithelioma in 3 patients($6{\%}$). According t AJCC staging system. 4 patients($8{\%}$) were in $T_1$, 13 patients($26{\%}$) in $T_2$. 20 patients($40{\%}$) in $T_3$, 13 patients($26{\%}$) in $T_4$ and 7 patients($14{\%}$) in $N_0$, 6 patients($12{\%}$) $N_1$, 23 patients($46{\%}$) in $N_2$, 14 patients($28{\%}$) in $N_3$. Total radiation dose ranges were 5250-9200cGy(median : 7355 cGy) in Group I and 5360-8400cGy(median : 6758cGy) in Group II Radiotherapy on 4-6MV linear accelerator and/or 6-12MeV electron in boost radiation was given with conventional technique to 26 patients($52{\%}$), with hyperfractionation(115-120cGy/fr., 2times/day) to 16 patients($32{\%}$), with accelerated fractionation(160cGy/fr., 2 times/day) to 8 patients($16{\%}$). In chemotherapy, 5 FU 1000mg daily for 5 consecutive days, pepleomycin 10mg on days 1 and 3, and cisplatin 100mg on day 1 were administered with 3weeks interval, total 1 to 3 cycles(average 1.8cycles) prior to radiation therapy. Follow up duration was 6-140 months(mean : 58 months). Statistics was calculated with Chi-square and Fisher's exact test. Results : Complete local control rates in Group I and II were $75.7{\%},\;69.2{\%} Overall 5 year survival rates in Group I and II were $56.8{\%},\;30.8{\%}$. Five year survival rates by histologic type in Group I and II were $52.2{\%},\;14.3{\%}$ is squamous cell carcinoma and $54.5{\%},\;50{\%}$ in undifferentiated carcinoma. Survival rates in Group I were superior to those of Group II though there were not statistically significant. In both group, survival rates seem to be increased according to increasing total dose of radiation up to 7500cGy, but not increased beyond it. There were not statistically significant differences in survival rates by age, stage, and radiation techniques in both group. Twenty four patients($48{\%}$) experienced treatment failures. Complications were found in 12 patients($24{\%}$). The most common one was osteomyelitis(4 patients, $33.3{\%}$) involving mandible (3 patients) and maxilla(1 patient). Conclusion : Chemotherapy in combination with radiotherapy was found to be not effective to nasopharyngeal cancer and the survival rate was also inferior to that of radiation alone group though it was statistically not significant due to small population in chemotherapy combined group.

  • Objectives: To compare the outcomes of treatment with a focus on the effectiveness of the two primary techniques of radiation used for treating parotid gland malignancies. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 70 patients with parotid gland cancer treated between 1981-1997. Radiation was delivered through an ipsilateral field of high energy electron and photon in 37 patients(52.9%). Two wedge paired photon was used to treat in 33 patients(47.1%). The median dose was 60 Gy, typically delivered at 1.8-2.0Gy per fraction. The median follow-up times for surviving patients was 60 months. Results: The overall and disease free 5 year survival rates were 71.6% and 69.5%, respectively. Wedge paired photon and photon-electron treatment disease tree 5 year survival rates were 61.1% and 80.5%, respectively. Overall local failure rate was 18.6%. Local failure rate of wedge paired photon technique was higher than that of mixed beam technique. Late complication rate was 37.1%, but most of them were mild grade. Conclusion: Techniques of radiation were associated with local control. The technique of using an ipsilateral field encompassing the parotid bed and treated with high energy electrons often mixed photons was effective with minimal severe late toxicity. To irradiate deep sited tumors, we consider 3-D conformal treatment plan for well encompassing the target volume.

  • Objective: To assess the safety and effectiveness of a mouth-rinse with G-CSF (JiSaiXin, produced by NCPC Biotechnology Co., Ltd) in treating patients with chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (CIM). Method: A consecutive cohort of patients with advanced cancers and CIM were treated with mouth-rinse G-CSF. All chemotherapy for patients with advanced cancers was adopted from regimens suggested by NCCN guidelines. The mouth-rinse with G-CSF at a dose of 150-300ug plus 100ml-500ml normal saline was started from the time of oral mucositis was confirmed and continuously used for at least 7 days as one course. After at least two courses of treatment, safety and efficacy were evaluated. Results: There were 7 female and 7 male patients with advanced cancer and CIM recruited into this study, including 5 with colorectal, 2 with lung, 1 patient with gastric, 1 with cervical and 1 with pancreatic cancer, as well as 2 patients with diffuse large B cell lymphomas, 1 with nasopharyngeal and 1 with gastric cancer. The median age was 57 (41-79) years. Grade 1 to 2 myelosuppression was observed in 3/14 patients, and Grade 4 myelosuppression in 1/14. Adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract were documented in 5/14 patients, and were Grade 1 to Grade 3. No treatment related death was documented. Regarding CIM, the median response time to mouth rinse of G-CSF was 2 (1-5) days, and all patients with CIM demonstrated a positive response. Conclusions: Mouth-rinse with G-CSF proved to be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced cancers and CIM. However, further randomized controlled studies should be conducted to clarify the effectiveness of this treatment with other lesions.

  • Objective : We investigated the effectiveness of stereotactic gamma knife Radiosurgery (GKR) for radioresistant brain metastases with the impact upon histology. Methods : Between April 2004 and May 2011, a total of 23 patients underwent GKR for 67 metastatic brain tumors from 12 renal cell cancers, 5 sarcomas and 6 melanomas. The mean age was 56 years (range, 18 to 79 years). Most of the patients were classified as the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group recursive partitioning analysis class II (91.3%). The synchronous metastasis was found in 6 patients (26.1%) and metachronous metastasis in 17 patients (73.9%). We analyzed the local control rate, intracranial progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results : The mean tumor volume for GKR was 2.24 cc and the mean prescription dose was 19.4 Gy (range, 10 to 24) to the tumor margin. Out of metachronous metastases, the median duration to intracranial metastasis was 3.3 years in renal cell cancer (RCC), 2.4 years in melanoma and 1.1 years in sarcoma (p=0.012). The total local control rate was 89.6% during the mean 12.4 months follow-up. The six-month and one-year local control rate was 90.2% and 83% respectively. Depending on the pathology, the control rate of RCC was 95.7%, sarcoma 91.3% and melanoma 80.5% during the follow-up. The common cause of local failure was the tumor bleeding in melanoma. The median PFS and OS were 5.2 and 8.4 months in RCC patients, 6.5 and 9.8 months in sarcoma, and 3.8 and 5.1 months in melanoma. Conclusion : The GKR can be one of the effective management options for the intracranial metastatic tumors from the radioresistant tumors. The melanoma showed a poor local control rate compared to other pathologies because of the hemorrhage.

  • Purpose: The aim of this work was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in patients with localized prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Thirty-nine patients who received radical hypofractionated IMRT were retrospectively reviewed. Based on a pelvic lymph node involvement risk of 15% as the cutoff value, we decided whether to deliver treatment prostate and seminal vesicle only radiotherapy (PORT) or whole pelvis radiotherapy (WPRT). Sixteen patients (41%) received PORT with prostate receiving 45 Gy in 4.5 Gy per fraction in 2 weeks and the other 23 patients (59%) received WPRT with the prostate receiving 72 Gy in 2.4 Gy per fraction in 6 weeks. The median equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions to the prostate was 79.9 Gy based on the assumption that the ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ ratio is 1.5 Gy. Results: The median follow-up time was 38 months (range, 4 to 101 months). The 3-year biochemical failure-free survival rate was 88.2%. The 3-year clinical failure-free and overall survival rates were 94.5% and 96.3%, respectively. The rates of grade 2 acute genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities were 20.5% and 12.8%, respectively. None of the patients experienced grade ${\geq}3$ acute GU and GI toxicities. The grade 2-3 late GU and GI toxicities were found in 8.1% and 5.4% of patients, respectively. No fatal late toxicity was observed. Conclusion: Favorable biochemical control with low rates of toxicity was observed after hypofractionated IMRT, suggesting that our radiotherapy schedule can be an effective treatment option in the treatment of localized prostate cancer.

  • Objective : Pineal parenchymal tumors (PPTs) in adults are rare, and knowledge regarding their optimal management and treatment outcome is limited. Herein, we present the clinical results of our series of PPTs other than pineoblastomas managed by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) at upfront setting. Methods : Between 1997 and 2014, nine consecutive adult patients with the diagnosis of PPTs, either pineocytoma or pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation, were treated with SRS. There were 6 men and 3 women. The median age was 39 years (range, 31-53 years). All of the patients presented with symptoms of hydrocephalus. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy and biopsy was done for initial management. After histologic diagnosis, patients were treated with Gamma Knife with the mean dose of 13.3 Gy (n=3) or fractionated Cyberknife with 32 Gy (n=6). Results : After a mean follow-up of 78.6 months (range, 14-223 months), all patients were alive and all of their tumors were locally controlled except for one instance of cerebrospinal fluid seeding metastasis. On magnetic resonance images, tumor size decreased in all patients, resulting in complete response in 3 patients and partial response in 6. One patient had experienced temporary memory impairment after SRS, which improved spontaneously. Conclusion : SRS is effective and safe for PPTs in adults and can be considered as a useful alternative to surgical resection at upfront setting.
