국민 사망원인 제1위. 그래서 국민의 관심이 집중되고 있는 암을 정부차원에서 집중관리하기 위해 추진해 온 국립암센터가 마침내 문을 열었다. 암 환자뿐만 아니라 건강을 생각하는 모든 사람들에게 커다란 희망으로 다가온 국립암센터의 개원이 있기까지, 박재갑 초대원장의 헌신적인 노력이 함께 했음을 잘 아려진 사실. 지금까지 암 퇴치 분야의 발전을 위해 한 우물을 파온 박원장이었기에 깊은 소신과 전문성, 강력한 추진력과 적극성으로 신기원을 마련할 수 있었을 것이다. 김대중 대통령께 금연사업과 암조기발견사업의 필요성을 건의해 올해 정부 5대 암 검진 사업과 범국민 금연사업의 확대에도 힘을 실었던 박재갑 원장을 만나 암센터의 사업에 대한 이야기를 들어봤다.

After introducing tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as promising treatments for radioactive iodine refractory advanced thyroid cancer patients, we more often meet patients with TKI-related hormone and electrolyte imbalances in clinics. Hypocalcemia associated with TKI is associated with an imbalance in calcium-vitamin D metabolism. TKI-related hypothyroidism is related to the metabolic rate of thyroid hormones. The two side effects usually occur in the early stages of TKI treatment, and if the imbalance is corrected appropriately, the effects are minor, but in severe cases, the TKI should be discontinued. The authors reported a case of severe hypocalcemia and thyroid dysfunction after TKI treatment. A 56-year-old man suffered from symptomatic hypocalcemia during TKI treatment, which was resolved after he stopped taking the TKI medication. Although calcium and vitamin D replacement have increased, hypocalcemia was recurred and TKI treatments have been permanently stopped due to serious weight loss in grade 3. After the interruption, his calcium levels normalized.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop and evaluate an oral care protocol for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Methods: The participants in this study were cancer patients in Severance hospital in Seoul. A total of 31 patients were assigned to the experimental group, and 29 patients to the control group. Data were collected from August 1 to October 5, 2010. The protocol included definition and symptom of oral mucositis, self-check method of oral status, prophylactic method of oral mucositis (oral care, eating habits, and gargling) and management of oral mucositis. Oral Assessment Guide (OAG) was used as the measurement tool of oral mucositis in this study, Oral Care Performance Scale was used as the measurement tool of oral care performance status. Data were analyzed with a $x^2-test$ and t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA, using SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results: Patients in the experimental group receiving the oral care protocol had a significant difference (t=-2.938, p=.005) in the oral care performance compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference (F=1.255, p=.274) in the oral mucositis status between two groups. Conclusion: This study showed that the oral care protocol could improve oral care performance status for the patients under chemotherapy.

한국인의 사망원인 1위 질환 암! 지금도 매일 평균적으로 약 180여 명이 암으로 사망하고 있고, 매일 약 300여 명이 새로운 암 환자로 진단받고 있다. 그러나 암은 예방도 가능하고 초기 발견 시에는 치유도 가능하여 쉽게 극복할 수 있는 질병이기도 하다. 이번 호에서는 우리나라 국민을 암으로부터 예방하고 치료하기 위해 애쓰는 국립암센터를 방문하여 이용범 시설부 팀장을 만나보았다.

유방암은 유럽과 미국을 비롯해 전 세계적으로 증가하고 있으며 최근 우리나라에서도 가장 급속하게 늘고 있는 여성암중에 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 grey level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM)을 적용하여 유방영역을 분할한 후, median filter 를 적용하여 잡음을 제거하였다. 전처리 수행 후, 2차미분 행렬을 이용할여 미소석회화 부분을 강조한 후, 가우시안 정규분포도를 적용하여 미소석회화 후보군을 검출하였다. 검출된 후보군은 8 개의 feature 들을 적용하여 미소석회화를 최종 결정하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 조기 유방암 진단을 위한 발전된 미소석회화 검출 방법을 제안하였다.

췌장암에 대한 근치적 절제술 후에 잔여 췌장에서 발생한 췌장암에 대한 보고는 거의 없는 상태이며, 특히 잔여췌장에 발생한 췌장암에 대하여 반복 췌장절제를 시행한 보고는 더욱 드물다. 저자들은 췌장미부에 발생한 췌장암에 대하여 근치적 절제술을 시행 후 35개월에 잔여 췌장에서 발생한 췌장암으로 췌장십이지장 절제술을 시행한 경우와 췌장두부에 발생한 췌장암에 대하여 췌장십이지장 절제술을 시행 후 20개월 만에 잔여 췌장에 췌장암이 발생하여 췌장미부절제술을 시행한 경우를 경험하였기에 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to report effects and potential of Integrative Cancer Treatment (ICT) on metastatic pancreatic cancer patient. Methods: A 79-year-old pancreatic cancer patient diagnosed with metastasis on liver visited the Daejeon Korean medicine hospital of Daejeon university East West Cancer Center (EWCC) on May 2021. The patient has been received chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus abraxane) and concurrently treated with ICT since May 2021. The clinical outcomes were measured by computed tomography, laboratory findings including tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9) and numeric rating scales (NRS). Laboratory analysis and National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 5.0 were used to evaluate the safety of ICT. Results: After treatment, constipation was relieved from NRS 5-6 to 2, both leg numbness was improved from NRS 9 to 2. Tumor size was generally decreased accompanying by reducing the levels of tumor markers. There were no severe adverse events induced by ICT based on NCI CTCAE version 5.0. Conclusion: This case study suggests that ICT in combination with chemotherapy may help in the treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to report and observe effects of Integrative Cancer Treatment (ICT) on metastatic breast cancer patient. Method : A left breast cancer patient diagnosed with recurrence on liver and bones April 2018. The patient had received paclitaxel chemotherapy for two months and discontinued it because of tumor progression and side effects. The patient has been treated with ICT since March 2018 and has been taking capecitabine since October 2018. The clinical outcomes were measured by computed tomography, laboratory findings including tumor markers (CEA, CA15-3). The clinical outcomes were measured by computed tomography, laboratory findings including tumor markers (CEA, CA15-3), liver function test (AST, ALT), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS), and numeric rating scales (NRS). Results : After the ICT, tumor size was partially decreased accompanying by reducing the levels of tumor markers. Major clinical symptoms induced by paclitaxel chemotherapy were improved. There were no severe adverse events induced by ICT based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0. Conclusion : This case suggests that ICT may have synergistic effect for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer patient in conjunction with capecitabine.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to report a metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma patient treated with wheel balanced cancer therapy (WBCT) regimen. Methods: A 52-year-old female patient diagnosed and incised with metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma visited the East West Cancer Center (EWCC) on Sep. 1st, 2018 for WBCT. The patient was treated with WBCT for an approximately 2 months, from Sep. 1st to Nov. 9th. Computed tomography (CT) was used to follow-up the tumor site. Laboratory analysis and National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 5.0 were used to evaluate the safety of WBCT. Results: The surgical beds after surgery (Lt. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy) were maintained without recurrence at follow up chest CT, and related symptoms and quality of life (QOL) were improved during the WBCT. Conclusion: This case study suggests that WBCT may help to improve QOL of adrenocortical carcinoma patient.
