  • Aim: To report the results of radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy in the patients with oral cancer. Methods: Over the 2003-2009 periods, a total number of 69 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity that refused surgery or had unresectable tumor were enrolled in this study. A total dose of 60 to 70 Gy (2 Gy per day) was given to the primary tumor and clinically positive nodes. In the patients with locoregionally advanced disease (57 patients with $T_3$, $T_4$ lesions and/ or $N^+$) induction chemotherapy following by concomitant chemoradiation was used. Induction chemotherapy consisted of 3 cycles of Cisplatin and 5-Flourouracil with or without Docetaxel. Weekly cisplatin was used in concomitant protocol. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate overall survival. Log-rank test and Cox regression model were used for comparison purposes. Results: Median follow-up was 32 months. The mean age of the patients was 59.2 years. The overall response rate after induction chemotherapy was 68.4%. Actuarial overall survival rates after 2 and 3 years were 38% and 26%, respectively. Clinical stage emerged as the only independent predictor of survival. Conclusion: Outcome of the patients with oral cancer is poor. Presenting with an advanced stage lesion contributed to this result. The role of chemotherapy in advanced cases remains to be defined.

  • 유비퀴틴 시스템은 ubiquitin ligases와 deubiquitinases (DUBs)에 의해 타겟 기질의 ubiquitination 유무에 따라 안정화, 활성화, 국소화 및 상호작용을 변화시키고 암 발병의 관여하는 다양한 생물학적 과정을 조절한다. DUBs는 촉매 domain에 따라 6그룹으로 나뉘어지는데, 그 중에서 OTU 그룹 내 대부분의 DUB는 세포의 연속적 신호반응(cell signaling cascade)을 조절할 수 있다. 특이하게도 OTU 그룹에 속하는 otubain 1 (OTUB1)은 정규적(canonical) 활성과 비정규적(non-canonical) 활성을 모두 가지고 있다. 본 보고에서는 OTUB1의 canonical, non-canonical 활성 조절에 있어서 다양한 신호전달경로 및 OTUB1의 역할에 대해 기술하였다. OTUB1은 이 두 종류의 활성 경로를 통하여, OTUB1은 암 관련 신호 전달 체계에 중요한 FOXM1, ERα, KRAS 및 EMT를 조절하고 암세포 증식 및 전이 능력 향상 및 항암제에 대한 내성을 나타낸다. 또한 임상적으로 전이성 및 종양 분화도가 높은 암 조직에서 OTUB1의 발현이 높으며, 이에 따라 환자의 생존율이 감소하는 등 나쁜 예후를 나타낸다. 따라서, 임상적으로 적용할 수 있는 OTUB1 억제제의 개발이 이루어진다면 OTUB1은 종양 치료에 있어 중요한 진단마커이자 치료적인 타겟이 될 수 있다.

  • 배 경 : MUG1은 고분자량의 당화 당단백으로 정상적으로 선상피의 선단부에서 발현되나, 종양세포에서는 비정상적인 발현 양상을 보인다. CD44는 세포-세포간 부착, 세포-기질간 부착에 관여하는 당단백이다. 일부 종양에서 MUC1 과 CD44는 종양의 침습과 전이에 관계한다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 비소세포폐암에서의 MUC1과 CD44의 standard form (CD44s)의 발현과 조직형, TNM-병기와의 상관성을 조사하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 수술적 방법으로 얻은 비소세포폐암 80예의 파라핀포매 조직절편을 대상으로 하여 MUC1과 CD44s에 대한 면역조직화학염색을 시행하였다. 결 과 : MUC1 은 편평상피암종의 12/43예 (27.9%), 선암종의 12/37예 (32.4%)에서 양성으로 조직형에 따른 차이는 보이지 않았다(p=0.660). CD44s는 편평상 피암종의 36/43예(83.7%), 선암종의 14/37예 (37.8%)에서 양성으로 선암종에 비해 편평상피암종에서 발현이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001). 편평상피암종에서 TNM-병기에 따른 MUC1의 양성율은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 선암종에서 MUC1 양성은 N0에서 4/22예(18.2%), N1-2에서 8/15예 (53.3%)로 림프절 침범과 관련되었다(p=0.036). 편평상피암종에서 CD44s의 발현은 T-병기에 따른 의미있는 차이는 없었으나, N0기에서 16/21예 (72.7%), N1-2기에서 9/22예 (38.1%)로 CD44s의 발현의 감소는 림프절 침범과 관련되었다(p=0.031). 편평상피암종의 TNM-병기 I기에서 15/18예(83.3%), II-III기에서 10/25예 (40.0%)에서 CD44s 양성으로 CD44s 발현의 감소는 TNM-병기의 진행과 관련되었다(p=0.006). 결 론 : 비소세포폐암에서 MUC1과 CD44s는 종양의 조직형에 따라 다른 발현 양상을 보이고, 각각은 종양의 침습과 전이에 관여하는 것으로 보인다.

  • Objective: To observe the short-term efficacy, long-term survival time and adverse responses with nedaplatin (NDP) or cisplatin (DDP) concomitant with other chemotherapy in treating non-small cell lung cancer. Materials and Methods: A retrospective, randomized, control study was conducted, in which 619 NSCLC patients in phases III and IV who were initially treated and re-treated were randomly divided into an NDP group (n=294) and a DDP group (n=325), the latter being regarded as controls. Chemotherapeutic protocols (CP/DP/GP/NP/TP) containing NDP or DDP were given to both groups. Patients in both groups were further divided to evaluate the clinical efficacies according to initial and re-treatment stage, pathological pattern, type of combined chemotherapeutic protocols, tumor stage and surgery. Results: The overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) in the NDP group were 48.6% and 95.2%, significantly higher than in the DDP group at 35.1% and 89.2%, respectively (P<0.01). In NSCLC patients with initial treatment, squamous carcinoma and phase III, there were significant differences in ORR and DCR between the groups (P<0.05), while ORR was significant in patients with adenocarcinoma, GP/TP and in phase IIIa (P<0.05). There was also a significant difference in DCR in patients in phase IIIb (P<0.05). According to the statistical analysis of survival time of all patients and of those in clinical phase III, the NDP group survived significantly longer than the DDP group (P<0.01). The rates of decreased hemoglobin and increased creatinine, nausea and vomiting in the NDP group were evidently lower than in DDP group (P<0.05). Conclusion: NDP concomitant with other chemotherapy is effective for treating NSCLC, with higher clinical efficacy than DDP concomitant with chemotherapy, with advantages in prolonging survival time and reducing toxic and adverse responses.

  • Fine needle aspiration cytology of the salivary lesions was performed on 221 patients at Soonchunhyang University Hospital for 10 years. Of 221 aspirates, 6 aspirates(2.7%) were inadequate, 116 cases(52.5%) were non-neoplastic lesions, 76(34.4%) cases were benign neoplasms and 23 cases(10.4%) were malignant neoplasms. The cytologic diagnoses could be correlated with histologic findings in 58 cases. FNAC correctly discriminated between neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions in fifty-seven lesions and failed in a case, and overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 98.3%, 98.0%, and 100.0%. FNAC correctly discriminated malignant neoplasms from benign neoplastic/nonneoplastic lesions in fifty-three cases and fatted in five cases, and overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 91.3%, 72.7%, and 95.7%. Among three false negative cases, two mucoepidermoid carcinomas were misdiagnosed as mucocele and benign neoplasm, and an acinic cell carcinoma were misdiagnosed as Warthin's tumor. Two false positive cases were a Warthin's tumor misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma and a pleomorphic adenoma misinterpretated as suggestive of malignancy. In conclusion diagnostic accuracy of FNAC of salivary lesions is high, and the possibilities of low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma and acinic cell carcinoma should be considered on hypocellular smears with mucoid or fluidy background.

  • 연구배경 : 제21번 염색체가 3개(trisomy)인 다운 증후군(Down syndrome) 에서는 폐암을 포함한 고형종양의 빈도가 일반인에 비해 유의하게 낮다. 이와 같이 디운증후군에서 폐암 위험도가 낮은 것은 여분의 21번 염색체가 존재함에 따른 유전자-용량 효과(gene-dosage effect) 때문일 가능성이 있으며 이는 폐암의 발생과정에 관여하는 종양억제유전자가 21번 염색체에 있음을 의미한다. 저자들은 21번 염색체의 종양억제 유전자 발굴을 위한 선행연구로 21번 염색체 장암의 LOH 빈도와 LOH 유 무에 따른 임상상을 비교하였다. 방 법 : 근치적 절제술을 받은 비소세포폐암 39예를 대상으로 하였다. 동결된 폐암조직과 환자의 림프구에서 DNA를 추출한 후 21q의 5개의 현미부수체 표지자를 이용하여 PCR을 시행하고 6% polyacrylamide-8M urea gel에서 전기영동 한 후 silver 염색을 하였다. LOH는 암조직의 대립유전자 signal이 림프구의 50%이하로 감소된 경우로 판정하였으며 종양의 fractional allelic loss(FAL)는 informative 표지자 수에 대한 LOH가 발견된 표지자 수의 비로 계산하였다. 결 과 : 대상환자 39예 가운데 21예(53.8%)에서 한 개 이상의 표시자에서 LOH가 관찰되었다. LOH는 편평상피세포암의 경우 23예 가운데 15예(65.2%)에서, 선암의 경우는 16예 가운데 6예(37.5%)에서 관찰되어 편평상피세포암에서 LOH의 빈도가 높은 경향이 있었다. 편평상피세포암에서 LOH 빈도는 I 기 53.8%와 II-III기 80.0%로 진행된 병기에서 높은 경향이 있었으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 종양에서 대립 유전자 소실의 축적 정도를 반영하는 지표인 FAL치는 편평상피세포암의 경우 0.431(${\pm}0.375$)로 선암의 0.192(${\pm}0.276$)에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 편평상피세포암에서 FAL치는 I 기 0.391(${\pm}0.427$)인데 비해 II-III기는 0.484(${\pm}0.310$)로 통계적 유의성은 없었으나 진행된 병기에서 높은 경향을 보였다. 결 론 : 비소세포폐암에서 21q의 LOH가 흔히 관찰되었으며 이러한 결과는 비소세포폐암의 발암과정에 관여하는 종양억제유전자가 21q에 존재할 가능성을 강력히 시사한다. 21q에 존재하는 LOH의 역할을 규명하기 위해서는 향후 보다 많은 예를 대상으로 한 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the tumor doubling time of invasive lung adenocarcinoma according to the International Association of the Study for Lung Cancer (IASLC)/American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) histologic classification. Materials and Methods: Among the 2905 patients with surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma, we retrospectively included 172 patients (mean age, 65.6 ± 9.0 years) who had paired thin-section non-contrast chest computed tomography (CT) scans at least 84 days apart with the same CT parameters, along with 10 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (mean age, 70.9 ± 7.4 years) for comparison. Three-dimensional semiautomatic segmentation of nodules was performed to calculate the volume doubling time (VDT), mass doubling time (MDT), and specific growth rate (SGR) of volume and mass. Multivariate linear regression, one-way analysis of variance, and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed. Results: The median VDT and MDT of lung cancers were as follows: acinar, 603.2 and 639.5 days; lepidic, 1140.6 and 970.1 days; solid/micropapillary, 232.7 and 221.8 days; papillary, 599.0 and 624.3 days; invasive mucinous, 440.7 and 438.2 days; and squamous cell carcinoma, 149.1 and 146.1 days, respectively. The adjusted SGR of volume and mass of the solid-/micropapillary-predominant subtypes were significantly shorter than those of the acinar-, lepidic-, and papillary-predominant subtypes. The histologic subtype was independently associated with tumor doubling time. A VDT of 465.2 days and an MDT of 437.5 days yielded areas under the curve of 0.791 and 0.795, respectively, for distinguishing solid-/micropapillary-predominant subtypes from other subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: The tumor doubling time of invasive lung adenocarcinoma differed according to the IASCL/ATS/ERS histologic classification.

  • Spontaneous regression of lung cancer is a very rare and poorly understood phenomenon. A 64-year-old man presented to Dong-A University Hospital with a shrunken nodule in the right lower lobe. Although the nodule showed a high likelihood of malignancy on needle aspiration biopsy, the patient refused surgery. The nodule spontaneously regressed completely in the next 17 months. However, the subcarinal lymph node was found to be enlarged 16 months after complete regression was observed. We pathologically confirmed metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma and performed neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery, and adjuvant chemoradiation. Regardless of tumor size reduction, it is preferable to perform surgery aggressively in cases of operable lung cancer.
