A total of 93 patients with rectal cancer treated with radiotherapy at department of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Yonsei Cancer Center between January 1974 and December 1983 are retrospectively analysed. The patients are divided into three groups as follows: I. Postoperative radiotherapy, II. Postoperative recurrent, III. Unresectable or Inoperable group. In postoperative radiotherapy group, overall 5 year survival rate is $34.8\%$ and prognostic factors are presence of obstruction and degree of differentiation. In postoperative recurrent group, overall 2 year survival rate is $7.4\%$ with median survival of 13 months and prognostic factors are RT responsiveness and sex, and the local failure rate is $22.7\%$. In unresectable or inoperable group, overall 2 year survival rate is $19.8\%$ with median survival of 12.6 months and prognostic factors are RT responsiveness and RT dose. The complications for RT are not significant and are acceptable in all patients.

1981년 1월부터 1987년 12월까지 연세대학교 의과대학 치료방사선과에서 침윤성 자궁경부암으로 방사선치료를 받은 총 1850명의 환자들중 조직학적 분류상 선암인 환자 76명 ($4.1\%$)을 대상으로 후향적인 임상분석을 하였다. 대상환자의 연령분포는 27세에서 71세까지로 평균 49세였고, $50\~59$세가 가장 많았다. 환자들의 주소는 대부분 이상자궁출혈($76\%$)이었으며, 병기의 분포는 FIGO 병기 Ib, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb 및 IVa가 각각 16, 8, 33, 14, 5명으로 병기 IIb가 $43.4\%$로 가장 많이 차지했다. 조직학적 아형은 크게 4종류로 나눌 수 있었는데, 순수선암이 48명으로 가장 많았고, 선암과 편평상피암이 섞여있는 아형이 20명이었다. 방사선 치료후 3개월에 분석한 골반내 완전 관해율은 병기 Ib, II, III에 대해 각각 $100\%,\;95.1\%,\;64.3\%$였다. 선암의 조직학적 아형과 분화도, 자궁경부 종양의 크기 및 모양, 병기, 임파절 전이 여부, 치료방법(방사선 단독 및 수술과 방사선 병합요법)등에 따라 생존율을 분석한 결과 병기와 종양의 크기만이 생존율에 영향을 미치는 유의한 예후인자로 밝혀졌다. 전체 환자군의 5년 생존율은 $68\%$였고 병기별로는 Ib기(N=16)가 $90\%$, II기(N=41)가 $66\%$, III기(N=14)가 $54\%$였으며 IVa기(N=5) 환자군에는 5년 생존자가 없었다. 직장 합병증은 $6.6\%$(5/76)로 이중 한명에서 수술요법을시행하였고 방광의 합병증은 2례로 $2.6\%$를 보였다. 이상의 결과로서, 자궁경부선암은 편평상피암에 비해 그 치료성적이 나쁘지 않으므로 치료요법을 결정함에 있어 수술 및 방사선치료등 자궁경부 편평상피암과 같은 치료원칙에 따른다면 좋은 치료결과를 보일 수 있으리라 생각한다. Survival data, prognostic factors, and patterns of failure were retrospectively analyzed for a total of 76 patients with adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix treated between January 1981 and December 1987, which represents $4.1\%$ of all primary cervical carcinomas treated, at Department of Radiation Oncology, Yensei Cancer Center, Yonsei University College of Medicine. The mean age of the patients was 49 years (range, $27\~79$ years) and the peak incidence was in the group 50 to 59 years of age. More half of the patients were postmenopausal (46/76= $60.5\%$). Most patients ($76\%$) had abnormal vaginal bleeding either alone or in combination with other symptoms. The proportion of stage IIb was $43.4\%$. There were 4 major histologic subtypes: pure adenocarcinoma (48/76=$63.2\%$), adenosquamous carcinoma (20/76=$26.3\%$), papillary (5/76=$6.6\%$) and clear cell carcinoma (3/76=$3.9\%$). Of the many clinicopathologic variables evaluated for prognosis, the most significant prognostic factors were stage of disease and the size of tumor. The overall 5-year survival rate was $68\%$, and the 5-year survival rates for stage Ib, II and III were $90\%,\;66\%\;and\;54\%$, respectively. Control of pelvic tumors was achieved in $93.8\%,\;90.2\%\;and\;50.0\%$ of cases of stage Ib, II and III disease, respectively. In present study, treatment modalities (radiation therapy alone/combined operative and radiation therapy) did not affect the local control of tumor and the survival.

절제 불가능한 원발성 간암은 여러 가지 다양한 치료법의 시도에도 불구하고 그 예후는 극히 불량하다. 이에 본 저자들은 온열요법에 대한 축적된 경험을 바탕으로 1988년 4월부터 7월까지 본과에 내원한 30명의 절제 불가능한 원발성간암 환자들에 대하여 온열 및 방사선 병용요법을 시행하였다. 방사선치료는 일일 조사량 180 cGy 씩 3.5주에 3060 cGy를 조사하였고 온열요법은 8MHz 유전형온열치료기(Thermotron RF-8, Cancermia)를 사용하여 주 2회씩 총 6회 시행하되 순서는 방사선 치료를 먼저 한 후 30분 이내에 온열요법이 30~60분간 시행되었다. 그 결과 부분반응이 12예에서 관찰되었고(40%), 증상의 호전이 28예중 22예에서 관찰되었다(78.6%). 종양의 반응을 예측할 수 있는 인자로서는 형태학적 유형이 가장 유의하게 나타났다(single massive: 10/14, 71.4%; diffuse infiltrative: 2/10, 20%; multinodular: 0/6, 0%; p<0.005). 치료로 인한 심각한 부작용은 관찰되지 않았다. 1년 생존율은 34%였고 정중앙 생존기간은 6.5개월이었다. 부분반응을 보인 환자군의 생존율 및 정중앙 생존 기간은 각각 50%, 11개월로서 반응을 보이지 않은 환자군의 22%, 5개월과 비교해 볼 때 정중앙 생존기간의 차이가 통계족으로 유의하였다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 온열 및 방사선 병용요법은 절제 불가능한 원발성 간암의 증상호전 및 국소적 치료에 효과가 있는 것으로 생각되며 생존율 및 부작용등에 관해서는 앞으로 연구가 더 진행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. Thirty patients with nonresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HOC) due to either locally advanced lesion of association with liver cirrhosis, treated with combined radiotherapy and hyperthermia between April 1988 and July 1988, at Dept. of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei university College of medicine, were analysed. External radiotherapy of a total dose of 3060 cGy/3.5 wks was given, Hyperthermia was given twice a week with a total of 6 treatment sessions using 8 MHz radiofrequency capacitive type heating device, i.e., Thermotron RF-8 and Cancermia. ln all cases hyperthermia was given within 30 minutes after radiotherapy for 30~60 min. Temperature was measured by inserting thermocouple into the tumor mass under the ultrasonographic guidance only for those who had not bleeding tendency. As a result, partial response (PR) was achieved in 12 patients (40%), and symptomatic improvement was observed in 22 patients (78.6%) among 28 patients who had suffered from abdominal pain. The most significant factor affecting the tumor response rate was the type or tumor (single massive: 10/14, 71.4%; diffuse infiltrative: 2/10, 20%: multinodular: 0/6, 0%; p<0.005). There were not any significant side effects relating to combined treatment. The overall 1 year survival rate was 34%, with 50% in the PR group and 22% in the no response group (NR), respectively. Median survival was 6.5 months and longer for those of PR than of NA (11 mos. vs 5, p<0.05). In conclusion, combined radiotherapy and hyperthermia appeared to be effective in local control and symptomatic palliation of HCC. Further study including a larger number of the patients to confirm its effect in survival and detrimental side effect should be urged.

1977년 7월부터 1987년 6월까지 10년간 연세대학교 의과대학 치료방사선과에서 방사선 치료를 받았던 135명의 비인강암 환자 중 치료시작 당시 조직학적으로 늑진되지 않았던 환자, 원격전이를 동반하고 있었던 환자 및 방사선 치료를 완료하지 못한 환자 30명을 제외한 105명 환자를 대상으로 원격전이의 빈도, 양상 및 예후를 분석하였다. 원격전이 진단은 임상증상과 방사선 소견으로 하였으며, 대상환자 105명중 원격전이를 보인 환자는26명으로 원격전이율 $24.8\%$였으며, 원격전이의 장기는 이전의 다른보고들에서와 마찬가지로골전이 $(50.0\%)$가 가장 많았고, 다음이 폐 $(19.3\%)$, 간$(11.5\%)$, 뇌 $(7.7\%)$ 순서였다. 원격전이에 영향을 미치는 인자로 연령, 성별, AJC의 T병기, N병기, Ho의 T병기, N병기, 조직 세포유형 및 치료방법등을 분석해 보았으나 Ho의 N병기에서만 NO, N1, N2, N3로 감에따라 원격전이율이 증가하는 양상을 보였다(p<0.05) .원격 전이 발생시기는 환자의 $80.8\%$에서 방사선 치료시작부터 2년이내에 일어나는 것을보여 비교적 조기에 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 원격전이가 발생한 26명의 환자에 있어서, 원격전이후 생존율을 살펴보면 중앙 생존치가 9개월이었고 1년생존율 $60\%$, 2년 생존율 $20\%$를 보여 비인강암 환자에서 일단 원격전이가 발생하면 그 예후가 불량함을 알 수 있었다. One hundred and thirty five patients with carcinoma of the nasopharyx were treated by radiation therapy in the Department of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei Cancer Center, Yonsei University between August 1977 and July 1987. Of the 30 patients omitted: 8 had distant metastases at initial diagnosis or during radiotherapy; 18 Patients refused or did not receive a full course of radiation therapy, and four had not been confirmed histologically. The remaining 105 patients were analysed to determine the incidence and pattern of distant metastases. Diagnosis of distant metastases was made based on clinical signs and radiography, even though histologic confirmation was not made. Twenty-six patients developed distant metastases after definite irradiation of nasopharyx and neck, an incidence rate of $24.8\%$ . The common sites of distant metastases were, in descending order, bone, lung, liver, and brain. There was a strong correlation between Ho's N stage and distant metastases rate. But sex, age, histologic subtype (squamous cell and undifferentiated cell), AJC T and N stage, treatment modalities (radiotherapy alone and radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy) were not significant. Of those patients who developed distant metastases, $80.8\%$ were discovered within 2 years of their radical radiotherapy. The prognosis for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients developing distant metastases was poor: median survival was nine months and $80\%$ of those patients died within two years of the initial diagnosis of distant metastasis.

1980년 1월부터 1988년 9월사이에 연세대학병원, 연세암센터 치료방사선과 및 이비인후과에서 치료받았던 68예의 T3, T4병기의 성문암 환자를 대상으로 후향적분석을 하였다. 이 중 34명은 방사선 치료 단독으로 치료하였고 34명은 성문절제술후 방사선치료를 하였으며 이들 환자의 최소 추적기간은 2년이었고 54명 $(79\%)$에서 5년 추적조사가 가능하였다. 치료후 국소관해율은 방사선치료 단독군에서는 $51\%$, 수술 및 수술후 방사선치료군에서는 $79\%$이었고 임파절 음성군에서는$72\%,\;76\%$였으며 임파절 양성군에서는$31\%,\;81\%$이었다. 이들의 치료실패요인은 대부분 국소 국한적 이었고 30명 $(44\%)$에서 관찰되었다. 치료에 따른 5년 생존율은 방사선치료 단독군에서는 $37\%$, 수술 및 수술후 방사선치료군에서는 $76\%$로서 T3, T5병기의 성문암환자에 있어서 수술시 행후 방사선치료를 병용하는 복합요법 이 더 좋은 치료결과를 얻을 수 있음을 알았다. 그러나 임파절 음성군에서는 방사선치료 단독군과 수술 및 수술 후 방사선치료군을 비교해 본 결과 5년 생존율이 $55\%$와 $73\%$로 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 따라서 본 저자들은 T3, T4병기의 성문암치료시 수술 및 방사선치료 병용요법이 더 좋은 치료결과 를 얻을 수 있지만 임파절 음성군에서는 기능적인 보존측면에서 방사선치료가 일차적 차료방법으로서 효과적이리라 사료된다. Between January 1980 and September 1988,08 patients with advanced T3 & T4 glottic carcinoma were treated with RT and surgery/RT in the Department of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei Cancer Center and ENT, Yonsei University College of Medicine. The mean age was 60 years old (range 33 to 79 years old). The 34 patients were treated with irradiation alone, and the remaining 34 patients with surgery and irradiation. Initial nodal presentation was $37\% (25/68);\;31\%$ (l1/34) in RT alone group and $41\%$ (14/34) in combined treatment group. The minimum follow-up was 2 years. The local control rate after treatment was $47\%$ in RT alone group and $65\%$ in combined treatment group; $57\%$ for node negative and $27\%$ for node positive patients treated with RT alone; $65\%$ for node negative and $54\%$ for node positive patients treated with combined treatment. The treatment failure was observed in 30 patients; 14 patients for primary local failure, 6 patients for regional nodal failure,5 patients for local and regional failure, 26 patients for primary failure and/or distant metastasis, and 2 patient for regional failure and/or distant metastasis. The overall 5-year suwival rate was $57\%;\;37\%$ in RT alone group and $70\%$ in combined treatment group; $55\%$ for node negative and $20\%$ for node positive patients treated with RT alone; $73\%$ for node negative and $77\%$ for node positive patients treated with combined treatment. In conclusion, the combined treatment groups in the treatment of advanced 73 and 74 glottic cancer showed the better results in local control rates and S-year actuarial survival rates than RT alone group. We suggest that total laryngectomy and postoperative RT in the most patients of advanced glottic cancer were performed. However, in cases of node negative patints, RT alone is prefer as a treatment modality over combined surgery and RT since the treatment results were comparable and furthermore functional preservation could be achieved.

8MHz 라디오파를 이용한 자입식 온열치료를 위한 기초실험의 일환으로 조직등가물을 이용하여 다양한 needle electrode의 배열을 통한 적정 온도분포를 규명하고자 하였고, 직접 개의 뇌실질에 자입 온열요법을 시도하여 이에 따른 조직 병리학적 소견을 관찰하고자 하였다. 조직등가물 실침에서 저자들은 needle electrode 1 cm 간격의 정방형 배치에서 횡단면상 $90\%$ relative SAR 분포가 약 1.25 cm 반경의 균일한 원형으로 관찰됨을 알 수 있었고 종단면상 needle electrode의 길이에 따라 균일한 온도분포가 이루어짐을 관찰할 수 있었다. 정상 개의 뇌실질에 자입하여 직접 정방형의 중심을 $43^{\circ}C$로 유지하며 50분간 온열요법을 시행한 후 관찰한 조직 병리학적 소견은 liquefactive necrosis, pyknosis of neuronal element 및 Polymorphonuclear leukocytes들이 회백질에서 급성기에 관찰 되었고 liquefactive necrosis 주위에 lipid-laden macrophage들이 관찰됨이 공통적인 특징 이었으며 후기 변화로 괴사조직 주위로 신경교세포의 증식이 관찰되었다. An interstitial radiofrequency needle electrode system was constructed for interstitial heating of brain tissue. Radiofrequency electrodes with Thermotron RF 8 were tested in an agar phantom and in a normal canine brain to determine how variations in physical factors affected temperature distributions. Temperature distributions were checked after heating with 1 mm diameter needle electrode implants on the corners of 1 and 2 cm squares in a phantom and plot isotherms for various electrodes arrangement. We observed that the 1 cm square array would heat a volume with a 1.25 cm radius circular field cross section to therapeutic temperatures ($90\%$ relative SAR using Tm) and the 2 cm square array with a 1.75 cm radius rectangular field with central inhomogeneity. With 2 cm long electrode implants, we observed that the 1 cm square array would heat a 3 cm long sagittal section to therapeutic temperature ($90\%$ relative SAR using Tm). We found that radiofrequency electrodes could be selected to match the length of the heating area without affecting its performance. The histopathological changes associated with RF heating of normal canine brains have been correlated with thermal distributions. RF needle electrode heating was applied for 50min to generate tissue temperatures of $43^{\circ}C$. We obtained a quarter of the heated tissue material immediately after heating and sacrificed at intervals from $7\sim30$days. The acute stage (immediately after heating) was demonstrated by liquefactive necrosis, pyknosis of neuronal element in the gray matter and by some polymer-phonuclear leukocytes infiltration. The appearance of lipid-laden macrophages surrounding the area of liquefaction necrosis was demonstrated in all three sacrificed dogs. Mild gliosis occurring around the necrosis was demonstrated in the last sacrificed (Days 30) canine brain.

원격조종 아프터로딩에 의한 고선량율 관내삽입조사는 체내 발생된 종양에 방사선원을 근접시켜 치료하는 방사선요법으로서 신속한 선량계산과 선량의 정확성 및 다양한 모양의 최적선량분포가 요구된다. 저자들은 크기가 작고 선량율이 높은 고선량율의 방사성동위원소에 대한 정확한 조사선량과 최적선량분포를 얻기 위하여 수학적인 콤퓨터 계산프로그램과 실측으르서 비교하였다. 고선량율 선원에 의한 방사선 조사선량과 조직내 흡수선량분포의 각각 Sievert적분식과 Meisberger의 다항식을 이용하여 작성하였다. 종양크기와 모양에 가장 알맞는 선량분포의 최적화를 실현하기 위하여 저자들은 치료기준점의 선량을 일정한 값으로 고정시키고 선원의 조사시간을 조정하는 선형반복 계산방정식을 이용하였다. 모형선원이 장착된 아프터로딩관을 삽입하고 조준엑스선으로 촬영하여 종양부위를 결정한 후 콤퓨터의 도움으로 아프터로딩관의 축과 평행선 등량곡선 또는 과일모양의 선량분포 및 기관지 모양의 등선량 분포가 성취되도록 선량최적화를 시행하였고 선량계에 의한 실측치와 오차가 3%이하로 잘 일치하였다. The use of high dose rate remote afterloading system for the treatment of intraluminal lesions necessitates the need for a more accurate of dose distributions around the high intensity brachytherapy sources, doses are often prescribed to a distance of few centimeters from the linear source, and in this range the dose distribution is very difficult to assess. Accurated and optimized dose calculation with stable numerical algorithms by PC level computer was required to treatment intraluminal lesions by high dose rate brachytherapy system. The exposure rate from sources was calculated with Sievert integral and dose rate in tissue was calculated with Meisberger equation. An algorithm for generating a treatment plan with optimized dose distribution was developed for high dose rate intrauminal radiotherapy. The treatment volume becomes the locus of the constrained target surface points that is the specified radial distance from the source dwelling positions. The treatment target volume may be alternately outlined on an x-ray film of the implant dummy sources. The routine used a linear programming formulism to compute which dwell time at each position to irradiate the constrained dose rate at the target surface points while minimizing the total volume integrated dose to the patient. The exposure rate and the dose distribution to be confirmed the result of calculation with algorithm were measured with film dosimetry, TLD and small size ion chambers.

임지훈,김귀언,금기창,서창옥,이상욱,박희철,조재호,이상훈,장세경,노준규,Lim Jihoon,Kim Gwi Eon,Keum Ki Chang,Suh Chang Ok,Lee Sang-wook,Park Hee Chul,Cho Jae Ho,Lee Sang Hoon,Chang Sei Kyung,Loh Juhn Kyu 대한방사선종양학회 2000 Radiation Oncology Journal Vol.18 No.1

목적 : 비인강암에서 방사선치료는 근치적 목적으로 사용되고 있으나 방사선치료 후 이하선 기능 저하에 따른 구강 건조증이 생기는 것이 문제이다. 방사선치료에 의한 구강 건조증의 발생을 감소시키기 위해 방사선조사시 이하선을 보호하는 새로운 치료 기법을 개발하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 림프절 전이가 없고 종양의 침범 범위가 서로 상이한 비인강암 4례를 대상으로 2가지의 새로운 치료계획을 수립하고 기존의 2차원 통상치료계획과 비교하였다. 치료계획-A는 기존의 2차원 통상치료 방법이며, 치료계획-B는 져 Gy 이후에 축소조사를 3차원 입체 조형치료로 하는 것이며, 치료계획-C는 방사선 치료 처음부터 3차원 입체 조형치료를 이용하여 양측 이하선을 방사선 조사영역에서 제외시키면서 30.6 Gy에서 척수 차폐를 시행하고 져 Gy 이후에 축소조사시 비동일 평면 3차원 입체조형치료를 시행하는 방법이다. 위 3가지 치료계획은 모두 70.2 Gy의 선랸을 계획용 표적체적내 회전중심점에 처방하여 각 치료계획마다 계획용 표적체적과 이하선의 등선량 분포, 선량체적 히스토그람(dose volume histogram, DVH), 선량통계(dose statistics), 정상조직손상확률(normal tissue complication probability, NTCP)을 비교하였다. 결과 : 전 예의 환자에서 치료 표적 부위의 등선량 분포, 선량통계와 선량체적 히스토그람상 치료계획-C에서 치료선량이 표적체적 내에 보다 균일하게 조사되었다. 선량통계분석에서 이하선에 조사되는 평균 방사선량은 치료계획-C에서 가장 적었으며(치료계획-A 58 Gy, 치료계획-B 50 Gy, 치료계획-C 48.5 Gy), 46 Gy가 조사되는 체적도 가장 적었다(치료계획-A 100$\%$, 치료계획-B 98$\%$, 치료계획-C 69$\%$). 선량체적 히스토그람도 치료계획-C에서 가장 우수하였고, 선량체적 히스토그람을 이용하여 계산된 정상조직 부작용 확률도 치료계획-C에서 가장 낮았다. 결론 : 방사선치료 초기부터 3차원 입체조형치료를 적용하여 이하선을 치료 조사영역에서 제외하고, 축소 조사시에 다양한 조사방향을 가능하게 하기 위해 45 Gy 이전에 척수 차폐(spinal cord block)를 적용하는 이 같은 새로운 방사선치료 기법이 림프절 전이가 없는 비인강암의 환자에서 구강 건조증 발생을 감소시키는 방사선치료기법으로 추천될 수 있다고 사료된다. Purpose : Although using the high energy Photon beam with conventional Parallel-opposed beams radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, radiation-induced xerostomia is a troublesome problem for patients. We conducted this study to explore a new parotid gland sparing technique in 3-D conformal radiotherapy (3-D CRT) in an effort to prevent the radiation-induced xerostomia. Materials and Methods : We peformed three different planning for four clinically node-negative nasopharyngeal cancer patients with different location of tumor(intracranial extension, nasal cavity extension, oropharyngeal extension, parapharyngeal extension), and intercompared the plans. Total prescription dose was 70.2 Gy to the isocenter. For plan-A, 2-D parallel opposing fields, a conventional radiotherapy technique, were employed. For plan-B, 2-D parallel opposing fields were used up until 54 Gy and afterwards 3-D non-coplanar beams were used. For plan-C, the new technique, 54 Gy was delivered by 3-D conformal 3-port beams (AP and both lateral ports with wedge compensator; shielding both superficial lobes of parotid glands at the AP beam using BEV) from the beginning of the treatment and early spinal cord block (at 36 Gy) was peformed. And bilateral posterior necks were treated with electron after 36 Gy. After 54 Gy, non-coplanar beams were used for cone-down plan. We intercompared dose statistics (Dmax, Dmin, Dmean, D95, DO5, V95, VOS, Volume receiving 46 Gy) and dose volume histograms (DVH) of tumor and normal tissues and NTCP values of parotid glands for the above three plans. Results : For all patients, the new technique (plan-C) was comparable or superior to the other plans in target volume isodose distribution and dose statistics and it has more homogenous target volume coverage. The new technique was most superior to the other plans in parotid glands sparing (volume receiving 46 Gy: 100, 98, 69$\%$ for each plan-A, B and C). And it showed the lowest NTCP value of parotid glands in all patients (range of NTCP; 96$\~$100$\%$, 79$\~$99$\%$, 51$\~$72$\%$ for each plan-A, B and C). Conclusion : We conclude that the new technique employing 3-D conformal radiotherapy at the beginning of radiotherapy and cone down using non-coplanar beams with early spinal cord block is highly recommended to spare parotid glands for node-negative nasopharygeal cancer patients.

Forth one patients with para-aortic node metastases from carcinoma of the uterine cervix treated with radiotherapy at December 1987 were retrospectively analyzed. Eleven patients were diagnosed at the time of diagnosis of carcinoma of the cervix (early diagnosis) and 30 patients were diagnosed during follow up period after definitive radiotherapy of primary site (late diagnosis). The most important factors affecting the survival in this study were time of diagnosis and dose of irradiation. Overall 5 year actuarial survival rate of 41 patients was 25.7%. Five year survival rate for early diagnosis was 60.3%, but late diagnosis was 16.9%. And survival rate for high dose (0ver 4000 cGy) radiation group and low dose radiation group were 42.2% and 8.9% respectively. The most leading cause of death was para-aortic node failure, so early diagnosis and maximum palliation with full dose radiotherapy (over 4000 cGy) is necessary to improve the survival and the quality of life.

1977년 7월부터 1987년 6월까지 10년간 연세대학교 의과대학 치료방사선과에서 방사선 치료를 받았던 135명의 비인강암 환자 중 치료시작 당시 조직학적으로 확진되지 않았던 환자, 원격전이를 동반하고 있었던 환자 및 방사선 치료를 완료하지 못한 환자 30명을 제외한 105명 환자를 대상으로 원격전이의 빈도, 양상 및 예후를 분석하였다. 원격전이 진단은 임상증상과 방사선 소견으로 하였으며, 대상환자 105명중 원격전이를 보인 환자는 26명으로 원격전이율 24.8%였으며, 원격전이의 장기는 이전의 다른 보고들에서와 마찬가지로 골전이(50.0%)가 가장 많았고, 다음이 폐(19.3%), 간(11.5%), 뇌(7.7%) 순서였다. 원격전이에 영향을 미치는 인자로 연령, 성별, AJC의 T병기, N병기, Ho의 T병기, N병기, 조직세포유형 및 치료방법등을 분석해 보았으나 Ho의 N병기에서만 N0, N1, N2, N3로 감에따라 원격전이율이 증가하는 양상을 보였다 (p One hundred and thirty five patients with carcinoma of the nasopharyx were treated by radiation therapy in the Department of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei Cancer Center, Yonsei University between August 1977 and July 1987. Of the 30 patients ommitted : 8 had distant metastases at initial diagnosis or during radiotherapy; 18 patients refused or did not receive a full course of radiation therapy, and four had not been confirmed histologically. The remaining 105 patients were analysed to determine the incidence and pattern of distant metastases. Diagnosis of distant metastases was made based on clinical signs and radiography. even though histologic confirmation was not made. Twenty-six patients developed distant metastases after definite irradiation of nasopharyx and neck, an incidence rate of 24.8%. The common sites of distant metastases were, in descending order, bone, lung, liver, and brain. There was a strong correlation between Ho's N stage and distant metastases rate. But sex, age, histologic subtype(squamous cell and undifferentiated cell), AJC T and N stage, treatment modalities (radiotherapy alone and radiothergrapy combined with chemotherapy) were not significant. Of those patients who develop distant metastases, 80.8% were discovered within 2 years of their radical radiotherapy. The prognosis for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients developing distant metastases was poor : median survival was nine months and 80% of those patients died whthin two years of the initial diagnosis of distant metastasis.
