Abstract

Background: To define the clinical features of patients with lung and upper aerodigestive tract cancer through a review of the histopathology, clinical features and follow-up results. Methods: Patients with lung and upper aerodigestive tract cancer who were diagnosed in Young dong Severance Hospital from 1992 to 2005, were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical data, radiologic findings, pathologic findings, treatment modalities were evaluated. Result: There was a total of 20 patients with aerodigestive tract cancer who were diagnosed with lung cancer over a 13 years period. The mean age was $58.45{\pm}15.09$ years and 19 cases were male. There were 14 smokers with an average pack year of 46 years. Twelve patients had aerodigestive tract cancer and later developed lung cancer, and 5 lung cancer patients were later diagnosed with aerodigestive tract cancer. Conclusion: These results suggest that cancers of the aerodigestive tract and lung can arise as either dependent or independent events and most aerodigestive tract cancer patients who developed lung cancer are not treated properly. Therefore, regular low dose chest CT with close suspicion is needed to properly manage upper aerodigestive tract cancer patients.

연구배경: 상부소화호흡기암과 폐암의 연관관계가 있다는 것은 알려져 있지만 국내 임상발현 양상에 대한 보고는 부족한 상황이다. 이에 저자들은 폐암과 상부소화호흡기암이 동반된 경우 환자들이 어떠한 조직학적 유형과 임상경과를 보이는지 알고자 하였다. 방법: 1992년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 13년동안 연세대학교 의과대학 영동세브란스병원에서 진단된 상부소화호흡기암과 폐암이 진단된 20예를 대상으로 후향적으로 조직학적 유형과 임상 양상을 조사하였다. 결과: 1) 13년 동안 연세대학교 의과대학 영동세브란스병원에서 상부소화호흡기암과 폐암이 진단된 20예 중 남자 19예, 여자 1예로 평균연령은 58.45세, 흡연자는 14예, 평균 흡연량은 46갑년이었다. 폐암과 상부소화호흡기암의 발생 순서에서 상부소화호흡기암 발생 후 폐암의 발생은 12예, 폐암 발생 후 상부소화호흡기암의 발생은 5예이었다. 2) 폐암과 상부소화호흡기암의 조직학적 차이를 확인해 볼 수 있었던 5예에서 면역 조직 화학 염색을 통해 조직학적으로 동일한 경우 3예, 다르다고 여겨진 경우가 2예에서 관찰되었다. 상부소화호흡기암 진단 후 폐암이 진단되는 기간은 평균 36.8개월이고 폐암 진단 후 상부소화호흡기암 진단이 되는 기간은 16.2개월이었다. 3) 상부소화호흡기암 진단 후 폐암이 진단된 경우 폐암의 치료로 수술을 시행한 예는 없으며 항암제치료 2예, 항암제치료와 방사선 치료 병행은 4예이었고 나마지 경우는 환자의 불량한 전신상태와 치료거부 등으로 보전적 치료를 행하였다. 결론: 폐암과 상부소화호흡계 암의 발생의 기원이 동일한 경우와 독립적으로 발생하는 경우 모두 가능한 것으로 여겨지며 상부소화호흡기암 환자에게 조기에 폐암을 진단 할 수 있도록 진찰 시 적극적으로 주기적인 저선량 흉부 전산화단층촬영을 시행하는 것이 의미가 있을 것으로 사료된다.
