저자들은 악성흉수 환자에서 가장 많은 치료법으로 선택되고 있는 talc 늑막유착술 이후에 급성 저산소증으로 사망한 환자 2예를 경험하였다. Talc 늑막유착술은 안전하고 효과적인 치료이지만, talc를 5 g 이상 사용하거나, 전신상태가 불량하거나, 반복적인 늑막유착술을 시행한 경우나, 양측에 흉수가 있거나, 늑막유착술 전 2주 이내에 항암요법이나 방사선치료를 한 경우나 폐실질에 전이성병변이 있을 때 예후가 불량하므로 talc 늑막유착술 환자를 선정할 때 주의하여야 하겠다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is analyzing the current research methodology of pharmacopucture for the treatment of animal cancer models. Methods : Four electronic databases were searched for animal studies published from January 2000 to September 2014 onward using these search terms "cancer, anticancer, pharmacopuncture, beevenom". Selected articles were described about animal cancer models. The methods used to induce cancer and the outcome measures used to assess the effects of pharmacopuncture on animal cancer models were analyzed. Results : 37 articles were included. For producing animal cancer models BALB/C mice(n=22) and C57BL/6 mice(n=17) were selected. And intravenous injection of B16-F10 melanoma cells into tail vein(n=14) or intraperitoneal injection of sarcoma-180 cells(n=14) were frequently used to induce cancer. Various pharmacopunctures were injected into acupoints $CV_{12}(n=19)$, $ST_{36}(n=8)$, $BL_{18}(n=8)$ or peritoneal cavity(n=6), tumor site(n=2), tail vein(n=2). Outcome measures were categorized into anti-cancer, anti-metastasis, general condition, cytotoxicity, immune response, toxicity. Median Survival Time(MST) and increase of life span(ILS)(n=26) was frequently used for evaluating anti-cancer effects. And pulmonary colonization assay(n=13) was frequently used for evaluating anti-metastasis effects Conclusions : Based on these data, further research would be needed to ascertain the effectiveness of pharmacopuncture for treating cancer and broaden the range of clinical applications.

혈관주위세포종은 혈관주위세포에 발생하는 드문 종양으로 폐나 뼈로의 전이가 가능하다. 저자들은 좌측 서혜부에서 원발하여 완치판정 5년 후에 원발 부위의 재발 없이 폐로 전이된 혈관주위세포종 1례를 경험하였기에 임상적 증상, 방사선 소견, 병리학적 소견들을 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
