Squamous cell carcinoma is a neglected disease entity in orthopedic oncology. The purpose of this study was to analyze overall survival and the role of surgery on survival and to evaluate the significance of possible prognostic factors. From Oct, 1986 to Aug, 1996, 57 patients were enlisted and 42 patients ere eligible. Inclusion criteria included more than one year follow-up and no distant metastasis at the first visit. Staging and survival followed AJC classification and Kaplan-Meier plot. Stage II included 17 cases and stage III, 25 cases. Thirty-eight patients underwent operations, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy, and the remaining four had operations only. The chemotherapeutic regimen was adriamycin-cisplatin. The average follow-up period was 45 months. The ten-year actuarial survival rate of whole patients was 65.4%. Location of primary lesion, stage, pathologic grading, and intensity of chemotherapy in the same stage showed a significant difference in survival. Nine out of 42 patients had local recurrence. Seven patients had inadequate wide margins and two had intralesional margins. Average period of recurrence from operation was 13(4-35)months. The operation itself had no impact on survival but a surgical margin of no less than 3cm from the lesion was important for local control. Pathological grade and staging were significant variables for long term survival. Acral lesion had a significantly higher chance of regional and distant metastasis but actual survival showed no difference. In stage II, aggressive chemotherapy could delay or reduce the chance of regional or distant metastasis.

Background and Objectives: National cancer center institute reports that male patients of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are annually increasing. This study aimed to analyze the features of the male patients with PTC. Materials and Method: We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed clinical records of 170 patients who were treated for PTC in male patients between 2000 and 2010. Clinical features, size, pathologic type, extrathyroidal extension, recurrence, multiplicity, extent of surgery, and lymph node metastasis were retrospectively evaluated.Univariate and multivariate analyses of various clinical factors were performed. Results: Total 4145 patients received surgery for papillary thyroid carcinoma. The number of male patients was 170 (4.1%) among them. Of170 male patients, only 16(9.4%) patients underwent the recurrence of PTC. The size of tumor, central neck node metastasis, lateral neck node metastasis, extrathyroidal extension and RAI ablation therapy were associated with recurrence(p< 0.05) in univariate analysis. However, only the extrathyroidal extension [p=0.03, Odds ratio=3.58(95% CI. 1.09~14.24)] was related to the recurrence in multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Re-estimation of clinical features in male PTC patients should be concerned. The recurrence of PTC in male patients was 16(9.4%) and nearly same as the other studies. The extrathyroidal extension was revealed as an associated factor for the recurrence. Evaluation of regional or distant metastasis should be considered in patients with the extrathyroidal extension in male PTC patients during long-term follow-up.

목적: 위암은 한국에서 가장 흔한 악성 종양 중에 하나이지만 PET에 관한 보고는 없었다. 본 연구는 위암 환자에서 PET의 소견 및 수술 전 일차병소, 영역 림프절 전이 및 재발의 진단에 대하여 분석하여 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 위암으로 진단 받은 뒤 수술이 예정된 13명의 위선암 환자에서 PET 및 CT를 시행하고 수술결과와 비교하였다. 일차병소에서는 FDG 섭취율과 예후 인자들과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 재발의 경우에서는 위암으로 인한 수술을 받고 경과관찰 중 재발이 의심되거나 혹은 재발 진단 후 치료방침결정을 위한 범위 결정을 위해 PET가 시행되었던 환자들 중에서, 재발진단을 위한 검사들이 시행되었던 19명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 문합 부위 및 원격전이로 나누어 예민도를 구하였으며, 종양표지자의 상승과 PET의 진단을 비교하였다. 결과 일차병소 14개 중에서 PET 12개, CT 10개를 진단하여 예민도가 각각 83.3%, 71.4%였으며 검사 간 차이가 유의하지는 않았다. PET에서 발견하지 못한 2개의 병소는 점막하 병소였으며 일차병소의 FDG 섭취율과 일차병소의 크기, 침윤정도, Borrmann 형, 수술 후 병기, 분화도 사이에 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 위주위 림프절은 101개의 전이가 있었으며 PET, CT의 예민도가 각각 8.9%, 9.9%였다. 영역림프절은 12개의 전이가 있었으며 PET, CT의 예민도가 둘다 58.3%였으며 분화도와 진단 여부와는 상관관계가 없었으며, 크기와는 관계가 있어 1cm 미만의 림프절은 두 검사 모두에서 진단율이 떨어졌다. 재발 진단에서 문합부위의 재발이 4예가 있었으며 PET에서 모두 진단되어 예민도가 100%였으나 위양성이 3예가 있었다. 원격전이의 진단은 14예에서 원격전이가 있다고 판정되었는데 PET에서는 9예를 진단하여 예민도가 64.3%로 기존의 검사법들의 예민도 21.4%에 비하여 유의하게 높았다($x^2=6$, p<0.05). 종양표지자만 상승한 경우에서 PET의 예민도가 60.0%로 기존 검사의 20.0%에 비하여 유의하게 높았다($x^2=4$, p<0.05). 결론: PET는 위암의 재발 진단에서 원격전이의 경우 기존의 검사보다 유용한 검사이다. 수술 전의 경우에서는 기존의 검사와 대등한 진단 성능을 보였으며 수술 전 윈격전이의 진단은 추가적인 연구가 필요하겠다.

Purpose: Basosquamous carcinoma is a rare malignancy, with features of both basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. It is considered as aggressive tumor with a high risk of recurrence and metastases. Authors report a case of basosquamous cell carcinoma. Methods: A 72 year-old man, who had an erythematous ulcer on his left auricle, described a slow growing lesion, starting at the posterior surface of the superior helix with a steady increase in size during the past 10 years. At operation, auricular cartilage was grossly invaded by the tumor and was, therefore, amputated with tumor-free margins. Results: Histopathologic examination was revealed a basosquamous cell carcinoma. On positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and neck CT were negative for signs of further nodal involvement or metastases to other organs. At follow-up 6 months later, his wounds were noted to be well healed, with no evidence of local recurrence or identifiable metastases. Conclusion: Because basosquamous cell carcinoma has a significant potential to recur and metastasize, surgical excision for this type of carcinoma should be more extensive than that performed for conventional basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, regional lymph nodes should be monitored and close follow-up should be carried out.

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is rare, low-grade malignant neoplasm that compromises approximately 1% of all salivary gland neoplasms. We reported a 68-year-old woman with epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in the parotid gland. We analyzed demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of salivary gland epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma which has been reported in 33 cases in Korea from 1992 to 2017, and compared this result to overseas retrospective cohort studies. There was no significance in terms of mean age at diagnosis, the predominance of females, low frequency in regional lymph nodes, and distant metastasis between the two groups. However, T classification and AJCC stage at diagnosis in domestic cases are more advanced than those of overseas cases. Although the recurrence rate in domestic cases has been reported lower than that of overseas, further study may be needed considering that the follow-up period after treatment is short in domestic cases.

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify predictive factors for supraclavicular lymph node recurrence (SCLR) in N1 breast cancer patients and define a high-risk subgroup who might benefit from supraclavicular nodal radiotherapy (RT). Materials and Methods: From January 1995 to December 2009, 113 breast cancer patients with 1 to 3 positive axillary lymph nodes were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or modified radical mastectomy (MRM). RT was given to all patients who received BCS. Among the patients given MRM, those with breast tumors >5 cm in size received RT. Regional nodal irradiation was not applied. Systemic chemotherapy was given to 105 patients (92.9%). Patient data were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed to identify predictive factors for SCLR. Results: The median follow-up duration was 6.5 years, with 5- and 10-year actuarial SCLR rates of 9.3% and 11.2%, respectively. Factors associated with SCLR on univariate analysis included histologic grade, number of dissected axillary lymph nodes, lymphovascular invasion, extracapsular extension (ECE), and adjuvant chemotherapy. On multivariate analysis, histologic grade and ECE remained significant. The patient group with grade 3 and ECE had a significantly higher rate of SCLR compared with the remainder (5-year SCLR rate; 71.4% vs. 4.0%, p<0.001). Conclusions: Histologic grade and ECE status are significant predictive factors for SCLR. Supraclavicular nodal RT is necessary in N1 breast cancer patients featuring histologic grade 3 and ECE.

Purpose: A positive esophageal margin is encountered in a total gastrectomy not infrequently. The aim of this retrospective review was to evaluate whether a positive esophageal margin predisposes a patient to loco-regional recurrence and whether it has an independent impact on long-term survival. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 224 total gastrectomies for adenocarcinomas was undertaken. The Chisquare test was used to determine the statistical significance of differences, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates. Significant differences in the survival rates were assessed using the log-rank test, and independent prognostic significance was evaluated using the Cox regression method. Results: The prevalence of esophageal margin involvement was $3.6\%$ (8/224). Univariate analysis showed that advanced stage (stage III/IV), tumor size ($\geq$5 cm), tumor site (whole or upper one-third of the stomach), macroscopic type (Borrmann type 4), esophageal invasion, esophageal margin involvement, lymphatic invasion, and venous invasion affected survival. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that TNM stage, venous invasion, and esophageal margin involvement were the only significant factors influencing the prognosis. All patients with a positive esophageal margin died with metastasis before local recurrence became a problem. A macroscopic proximal distance of more than 6 cm of esophagus was needed to be free of tumors, excluding one exceptional case which involved 15 cm of esophagus. Conclusion: All of the patients with a positive proximal resection margin after a total gastrectomy had advanced disease with a poor prognosis, but they were not predisposed to anastomotic recurrence. Early detection and extended, but reasonable, surgical resection of curable lesions are mandatory to improve the prognosis.

점막형 악성흑색종 10례에 대한 임상분석 결과 비강에서 가장 호발하였고 증상은 비폐색이 가장 많았다. 치료 성적은 수술을 우선적으로 선택한 후 방사선요법을 시행한 경우군에서 평균생존기간이 20.8개월이었고 방사선치료를 우선적으로 선택한 경우군에서는 14.7개월로, 접막형 악성흑색종의 경우 광범위 절제술 후 방사선요법을 시행하는 것이 도움이 될 것으로 생각되나 윈격전이 6례를 포함한 8례의 환자에서 재발이 있어 예후가 극히 불량한 암종으로 생각된다.

Background: The prognostic value of tumor osteopontin (OPN) in patients with squamous-cell head and neck cancer (SCHNC) was investigated. Materials and Methods: OPN expression was assessed by immunohistochemical methods in 50 patients, who were treated with primary radiotherapy (RT) for locally advanced SCHNC. The effects of OPN on clinical parameters, local-regional control after RT and metastasis-free survival, was assessed. Results: The rate of OPN expression in tumor tissue was 76%. OPN positive cases had lower Hb levels (p=0.088). Mean time to local recurrence was 53.8 months (SE 3.9) in OPN-negative cases and 39.1 months (SE 4.7) in OPN-positive cases (p=0.047). OPN increased the risk of local recurrence 5.9 times (p=0.085). It had no effect on metastasis-free (p=0.116) or overall survival (p=0.123). OPN was positive in 12 of 19 cases that developed grade 3-4 acute radiation dermatitis (p=0.096). Conclusions: OPN expression is associated with an increase in local recurrence in patients who were treated with primary RT for locally advanced SCHNC.
