초록

악성 흉막 중피종(Malignant pleural mesothelioma, MPM)은 선암과의 감별이 어렵고 예후가 매우 좋지 않은 드문 암이다. MPM의 치료를 위해 많은 항암제들이 시도되었지만 그 효과는 크지 않았다. 완전관해는 거의 되지 않으며 부분 관해 역시 1/3 이하의 환자에서 기대할 수 있다. 하지만 최근 한 3상 연구를 보면 cisplatin 단독요법에 비해 pemetrexed/cisplatin 병합 항암화학요법이 반응률과 평균 생존기간을 의미있게 증가시켰다. 이에 저자들은 1차 항암화학치료에 실패한 MPM환자에서 pemetrexed/cisplatin 병합화학요법을 시도한 결과 극적인 반응을 보인 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare tumor that is difficult to clearly distinguish from an adenocarcinoma but usually has a poor prognosis. Numerous cytotoxic agents have been used in the primary treatment of MPM with limited success. A complete response is unusual and a partial response occurs in less than one-third of patients. Recently, a phase III trial showed that a combination of pemetrexed with cisplatin resulted in a significantly higher response rate and median survival time than with cisplatin alone. We encountered a case of a dramatic tumor response to pemetrexed/cisplatin combination chemotherapy in patients with MPM, which was resistant to the 1st-line gemcitabine/cisplatin therapy. After six cycles of pemetrexed/cisplatin combination chemotherapy, the tumor volume had decreased dramatically with complete symptom relief. There was no chemotherapy-related toxicity or scheduled violation. The patient is under maintenance chemotherapy with the same regimen.
