Background: Studies of the prognostic role of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are still limited. This study investigated the prognostic power of CTCs from the pulmonary vein (PV), peripheral blood (PB), and bone marrow (BM) for postoperative recurrence in patients who underwent curative resection for NSCLC. Methods: Forty patients who underwent curative resection for NSCLC were enrolled. Before resection, 10-mL samples were obtained of PB from the radial artery, blood from the PV of the lobe containing the tumor, and BM aspirates from the rib. A microfabricated filter was used for CTC enrichment, and immunofluorescence staining was used to identify CTCs. Results: The pathologic stage was stage I in 8 patients (20%), II in 15 (38%), III in 14 (35%), and IV in 3 (8%). The median number of PB-, PV-, and BM-CTCs was 4, 4, and 5, respectively. A time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that PB-CTCs had excellent predictive value for recurrence-free survival (RFS), with the highest area under the curve at each time point (first, second, and third quartiles of RFS). In a multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model, PB-CTCs were an independent risk factor for recurrence (hazard ratio, 10.580; 95% confidence interval, 1.637-68.388; p<0.013). Conclusion: The presence of ≥4 PB-CTCs was an independent poor prognostic factor for RFS, and PV-CTCs and PB-CTCs had a positive linear correlation in patients with recurrence.

Metastatic cancer is the most common tumor of the skeleton. The prevalence of pathologic fracture may increase as patient survival is prolonged by improved cancer therapy. With recent advances in orthopaedic procedure and medical management of terminal cancer patients, it is generally agreed that aggressive treatment should be undertaken for patient with pathologic fracture secondary to metastatic disease, and a team approach should be utilized. The authors have reviewed twenty cases of pathologic fracture of the long bone due to metastatic tumor treated in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, from April 1989 to April 1994 and the following results were obtained. 1. The mean age at surgery was 58.4 years (ranged from 24years to 86years) and among 20 cases, 10 cases were male and the others were female. 2. The most frequent site of pathologic fracture in long bone is femur(15 cases, 75%), and followed by humerus(4 cases, 20%), tibia(1 case). 3. The frequently encountered primary tumors that metastases to long bone are those of the lung(7 cases, 35%), breast(4 cases, 20%), and prostate(2 cases, 10%). 4. The operative procedure was performed by resection of the tumor mass extensively, and we used polymethylmetacrylate for filling the dead space after resection, in all cases. 5. The mean survival period after operation is 9.2 months(ranged from 1 month to 4 years and 9 month). 6. The results of postoperative pain relief status were graded as fair to excellent in 17 cases(85%).

Vestibuloplasty are following categories : Mucosal advancement(submucous), secondary epithlization(reepithelization) and grafting vestibuloplasty. Although certain procedures are indicated for alveolar bone loss and sulcus shortening, relapse can occur. Every efforts to minimize or compensate for it is controversy. O'Steen(1970) reported the mucous graft methods that none of vestibular shrinkage and graft contracture. 15patients in mucous graft vestibuloplasty with fibrin adhesive system(Beriplast) were taken in cases of alveolar bone resorption and mucosal shortening due to traumatized alveolar bone defects, senile atrophic alveolar bone, postoperative cyst or tumor resection, edentulous alveolar bone loss, and others. A technique in the use of small piece of palatal mucosa$(1{\times}20mm)$ from the lateral aspect of the palate with adhesive system provided to secure the skin grafts, avoid stent fixation, postoperative patient's comfort and less time-consuming than the standard technique, especially excellent bleeding control.

We report a case of a 67-year-old woman with giant cell tumor of the temporal bone. A 67-year-old woman presented with localized tenderness, swelling, sensory dysesthesia, dizziness, and headache over the left temporal bone. She was neurologically intact except left hearing impairment, with a nonmobile, tender, palpable mass over the left temporal area. A brain computed tomography(CT) scans showed a relatively well defined heterogenous soft tissue mass with multiple intratumoral cyst and radiolucent, osteolytic lesions involving the left temporal bone. The patient underwent a left frontotemporal craniotomy and zygoma osteotomy with total mass removal. Permanent histopathologic sections revealed a giant cell tumor. She remains well clinically and without tumor recurrence at 2 years after total resection.

Purpose : The present study was carried out to determine the diagnostic usefulness of bone scan for evaluating jaw bone extension of oral cancer. Materials and Methods : Medical records, preoperative bone scans, computerized tomographic (CT) scans, conventional radiographs, and findings of histopathologic sections of twenty patients who had been treated for oral malignant tumors by a resection of mandible and soft tissue at Chonnam University Hospital from January, 1994 to September, 1999 were analyzed. Results : In 13 cases which showed histopathologically positive, preoperative bone scans were positive in 12 (92.3%) and false negative in 1 (7.7%). Preoperative CT scans were positive in 9 (69.2%) and false negative in 4 (30.8%) of the 13 cases. Preoperative conventional radiographs were positive in 8 (61.5%) and false negative in 5 (38.5%) of the 13 cases. In 7 cases showing negative histopathologic findings, 1 (14.3%) was in CT scans and 2 (28.6%) were false positive in preoperative conventional radiographs. Conclusion : These results suggest that bone scan is more sensitive and reliable method for evaluating jaw bone extension of oral cancer than conventional radiographs or CT scans.

Most clinicians have taken a lot of interest in tumors arising from the bony thorax because not only of their rarity and predictable diagnosis which could be reflected as a unique radiologic shadow but also variable surgical modes for maintenance of chest wall stability encountered after en-bloc resection. By the retrospective review, we have analyzed 24 cases of primary bony thorax tumors which were experienced and surgically treated at the St. Mary`s hospital of Catholic Medical College from Jan. 1969 to Sept. 1984. The results are as follows: 1. Age incidence was evenly distributed through all decades and the male-female ratio is 15:9. 2. 16 cases out of 24 were benign tumors and the commonest one of which was fibrous dysplasia. 3. Remaining 8 cases were malignant tumors and among which osteogenic sarcoma was the commonest one. 4. The majority of tumors [22/24] were developed from the rib and the remains were from the sternum. 5. Common manifestation were palpable mass or swelling and localized tenderness. 6. Various kinds of operative procedure were underwent: single resection of rib including tumor,14 cases; multiple resection of ribs with chemotherapy or myoplasty, 2 cases; en-bloc resection of the chest wall and reconstructive procedure, 5 cases; partial resection of sternum, 1 case; bone biopsy and chemotherapy, 2 cases.

골육종의 치료율이 높아짐에 따라 장기 추시 결과와 기능적인 결과에 대한 관심이 환자나 의료진 모두에게 중요한 문제가 되어가고 있다. 슬관절 주위의 악성 종양을 절제 후 재건 시 종양인공관절 치환술에 비해 정상적인 슬관절 구조물을 보존하는 사지구제 술식이 가능하다면 좋은 방법으로 생각된다. 그러나 장기적으로 바람직한 기능적 결과를 얻기 위해 절제연을 희생하면 안 될 것으로 생각된다. 저자들은 원위 대퇴골 간부 골육종 환자에서 광범위 이상의 절제연 확보가 가능하다고 판단되어 분절 절제 후 저온 열처리한 자가골을 이용하여 재건하였으나 술 후 44개월만에 국소재발 한 례를 경험하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Background: Oronasal/antral communication, loss of teeth and/or tooth-supporting bone, and facial contour deformity may occur as a consequence of maxillectomy for cancer. As a result, speaking, chewing, swallowing, and appearance are variably affected. The restoration is focused on rebuilding the oronasal wall, using either flaps (local or free) for primary closure, either prosthetic obturator. Postoperative radiotherapy surely postpones every dental procedure aimed to set fixed devices, often makes it difficult and risky, even unfeasible. Regular prosthesis, tooth-bearing obturator, and endosseous implants (in native and/or transplanted bone) are used in order to complete dental rehabilitation. Zygomatic implantology (ZI) is a valid, usually delayed, multi-staged procedure, either after having primarily closed the oronasal/antral communication or after left it untreated or amended with obturator. The present paper is an early report of a relatively new, one-stage approach for rehabilitation of patients after tumour resection, with palatal repair with loco-regional flaps and zygomatic implant insertion: supposed advantages are concentration of surgical procedures, reduced time of rehabilitation, and lowered patient discomfort. Cases presentation: We report three patients who underwent alveolo-maxillary resection for cancer and had the resulting oroantral communication directly closed with loco-regional flaps. Simultaneous zygomatic implant insertion was added, in view of granting the optimal dental rehabilitation. Conclusions: All surgical procedures were successful in terms of oroantral separation and implant survival. One patient had the fixed dental restoration just after 3 months, and the others had to receive postoperative radiotherapy; thus, rehabilitation timing was longer, as expected. We think this approach could improve the outcome in selected patients.

목적: 위암의 근치적 절제술 후 발생하는 골 전이는 드물며 이에 대한 보고는 산발적인 증례보고에 머물고 있어 그 특징에 대해서는 잘 알려진 바가 없다. 이에 저자들은 위암의 그치적 절제술 후 발생한 골 전이의 형태와 치료의 효과 그리고 예후를 알아보기 위해 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1989년부터 2002년까지 가톨릭대학교 의과대학 부속 강남성모병원과 성모자애병원에서 위암으로 근치적 절제술을 시행 받은 후 골 전이가 확인된 29명의 환자들의 의무기록을 조사하여 이들의 임상병리학적인 특징을 분석하였다. 결과: 환자들의 성비는 남자는 19명 여자는 10명이었으며 평균연령은 $53\pm12$세였다. 원발암의 병리학적 특징은 Borrmann 3,4형이 많았으며 미분화형이 많았고 병기는 주로 3,4형이 많았으며 미분화형이 많았고 병기는 주로 3,4기였다. 골 전이가 가장 많이 발생한 부위는 척추였고 그 다음으로 골반, 늑골 그리고 두개골의 순으로 나타났다. 재발 후 치료는 16예($55.2\%$)에서 시행하였다. 지발 후 치료를 받은 환자들의 생존기간의 중간값은 7개월($0\∼75$개월)로 치료를 받지 않은 환자들(2개월)에 비해 길었으나(P=0.019) 치료방법에 따른 차이는 없었다(P=0.388). 결론: 위암의 근치적 절제술 후 발생하는 골 전이는 Borrmann 3,4형에서 미분화형에서 그리고 3,4기의 진행된 암에서 많이 발생하였다. 이들의 예후는 매우 불량하나, 재발에 대한 치료를 적극적으로 시행하는 것이 생존율의 향상을 도모하는 길이라 사료된다.
