사지에 발생한 골육종에서의 사지구제술은 광범위 절제술을 기본으로 한다. 수술 전 항암 치료를 한 뒤에 시행하는 경우가 대부분이라 수술전에 빈혈인 경우가 많고 수술로 인한 출혈이 많아서 수술 전 후 빈혈 교정의 필요성이 대부분 존재한다. 수혈이 암 환자의 예후와 합병증 및 수술 후 치료 결과에 나쁜 영향을 미친다는 다양한 보고들이 있음에도 불구하고 사지 구제술에서 빈혈을 교정하기 위한 방편으로 수혈은 여전히 통상적인 치료로 간주되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 대퇴골 원위부에 발생한 골육종 환자의 사지구제술을 무수혈로 시행하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 증례 보고 한다.

원발성 폐 악성 섬유성 조직구종은 매우 드문 종양이다. 12세 남아가 우연히 발견된 폐 종괴를 주소로 입원하였다. 흉부 X-선, 흉부 전산화 단층촬영, 양전자 방출 단층촬영에서 우하엽에 위치하는 $2.5{\times}2.5 cm$크기의 종괴가 관찰되었다. 우측 측방 개흉술을 통해 종괴를 절제하여 냉동 절편 조직검사를 시행한 결과 악성 방추형세포 종양으로 진단되었다. 따라서 우하엽 절제술 및 종격동 림프절 청소술을 시행하였고, 최종 조직학적 진단은 악성 섬유성 조직구종이었다. 환자는 수술 후 7일째에 퇴원하였으며, 보조적 항암 약물치료는 시행하지 않았다.

Background: Resection rates of lung cancer are low in general and especially in countries like Nepal. Advanced stage at presentation and poor general condition of the patient are the usual causes. Materials and Methods: In this prospective observational study, one hundred cases of lung cancer who presented at the Thoracic Surgery Unit between October 2011 and October 2012 were included. Results: Those aged in the $6^{th}$ and $7^{th}$ decades together accounted for 72/100 patients. The male to female ratio was 2:1. There was a mean-$29.2{\pm}14.2$ pack yrs smoking history with only five non-smokers. Seventy-six patients presented with locally advanced disease while 21 had metastases. Only three had local disease. The average time between onset of symptoms to first contact with a doctor was $2.3{\pm}5.3$ months (range: 0-35.6 months). Average time between first contact to referral was $50.4{\pm}65.7$ days (range-0-365). Only three patients were resected, one after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Advanced disease was the cause of unresectability in 95 cases. One of three patients with local disease had pulmonary functions allowing the warranted resection. $N_2$ disease with $T_{1-3}$ on CT scan was found in 47. Three of these patients underwent mediastinoscopy and all confirmed uninvolved $N_2$. Conclusions: Lung resection rates in our center remain low. Late presentation leading to advanced disease and poor pulmonary reserves preclude resection in most cases. More liberal use of mediastinal staging and better assessment of pulmonary functions may allow us to improve resection rates.

Background: Breast cancer is by far the most frequent cancer of women (23% of all cancers), ranking second overall when both sexes are considered together. Since there has been change in clinico-pathological factors and treatment profiles for breast cancer patients over the years, the present study to evaluate the change trends in India. Materials and Methods: A detailed analysis was carried out with respect to age, menopausal status, family history, disease stage, surgery performed, histopathology, hormone receptor status, and use of chemotherapy or hormonal therapy. Change in various clinico-pathological factors and treatments of breast cancer cases was recorded and analysed. Results: Mean age at presentation was found to be earlier in 2005-2006 compared with 1997-98 (p value: 0.046). More premenopausal women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005-2006 when this was compared with initial years of assessment (p value ${\leq}0.001$). When change in the receptor status was evaluated, we observed that there was a decrease in cases of ER and PR receptor positivity which was significant (p value: 0.007). Over the period of time, more f patients were not offered surgery initially in view of advanced disease when the two time periods were compared (p value: ${\leq}0.001$). There was a significant increase in patients who were initially offered neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in view of advanced disease at presentation (p value: ${\leq}0.001$). There was increasing number of patients who received palliative treatment for symptoms in 2005-2006 when compared to patients treated in 1997-98((p value: ${\leq}0.001$). Conclusions: Changes in mean age at presentation, premenopausal status, and stage at presentation have occurred over the years. More aggressive patterns of disease have become more common with early age at presentation and aggressive biological behaviour with receptor negative tumours.

Objective : As treatments for breast cancer require long period of time, the patients need continuous monitoring and management of their health related quality of life. The purpose of this preliminary study is to explore the utility of monitoring quality of life using a mobile phone based application, which was developed to enable the patients to report daily quality of life more efficiently. Methods : Department of psychiatry, breast cancer center and U-health team of Asan Medical Center collaborated in developing a mobile application titled 'DugunDugun'. Through the application, patients with breast cancer receiving neo-adjuvant chemotherapy could report on various questions about their daily quality of life. We extracted and explored the daily basis of the data of sleep duration, number of awake, sleep satisfaction, mood and anxiety from nine patients who reported on the questionnaire for more than a month. Results : The longitudinal data collected using our mobile application well represented the characteristics of individual sleep patterns and daily emotional changes. Most of the patients showed high daily variations in the scores of their quality of life while their averaged scores were similar among patients. The patient with highest daily variations in the subjective sleep quality and daily emotional change had highest score corresponding to moderate depression in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Conclusion : The results suggest that mobile application could be a useful tool for monitoring and collecting the daily quality of life in the patients with breast cancer. We expect that mobile application could facilitate early detection and proper intervention for the cancer patients at psychological crisis.

전통적으로 병기 IIIB 비소세포암은 낮은 장기 생존율로 인해 수술이 불가능하다고 여겨져 왔다. 그러나 최근의 몇몇 보고에서는 병기 IIIB 중 74 병변에서 수술 후 좋은 장기 생존율을 보고하고 있다. 본원에서 일부 선택된 병기 IIIB 환자에서의 수술 경험을 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1994 년부터 2001년 12월까지 본원에서 원발성 폐암으로 진단을 받고 수술을 시행한 936명의 환자 중 수술 후 조직 검사상 병기 IIIA 및 IIIB로 진단받은 환자에서 수술 전 항암치료나 방사선치료를 받은 환자를 제외한 각각 109명과 59명을 대상으로 하였다. TNM 병기에 따른 분류상 병기 IIIA의 경우 T3Nl이 13예, T1N2가 12예, T2N2가 73예였으며 T3N2가 11예였다. 그리고 병기 IIIB의 경우는 T4N0가 26예, T4Nl이 18예, T4N2가 14예였으며 T4N3가 1예였다. 결과: 수술 관련 사망률은 병기 IIIA에서는 4.58%였고 병기 IIIB에서는 5.08%였다. 병기 IIIA와 IIIB의 1년, 2년, 3년, 5년 생존율은 각각 69.1%, 53.7%, 41.6%, 30.7%였고 68.9%, 55.6%, 42.9%, 35.9%였다. T4 병변에 의한 병기 IIIB 폐암에서 같은 엽에 소결절이 있는 군을 다시 림프절 전이가 없는 군과 림프절 전이가 있는 군으로 나누어 생존율을 구하였을 때 림프절 전이가 없는 군에서 유의하게 생존율이 높았다(p=0.0118). 결론: 림프절의 전이가 없고 완전 절제가 가능한 병기 IIIB 환자에서 수술적 절제를 적극적으로 고려하여야겠고 특히 림프절 전이가 없는 한 엽에 여러 소결절이 있는 환자에서는 수술적 치료를 요한다 하겠다.
