신세원 영남대학교 의과대학 2000 Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine Vol.17 No.2

본 연구에서 인체공학적으로 개선된 새로운 2-채널 고선량율 근접치료용 적용구(Shin's Applicator)를 개발하였으며, 기존의 단일 선원 근접치료 적용구와 비교하여 질벽에 더 균등한 방사선치료가 가능하고 방광과 직장선량이 적어 근접치료 후 발생할 수 있는 부작용이 감소될 가능성을 확인하였다. 임상적으로 Shin's Applicator는 자궁 경부암이나 자궁 체부암의 수술 후 국소재발이나, 질강에 발생한 다발성 악성종양을 효과적으로 치료하는 데 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 뿐 만 아니라, 방사선 치료 후 흔히 나타나는 질강의 협착을 예방할 수 있는 질 확장기(vaginal dilator)로도 사용 가능하였다. 이상의 결과에서 Shin's Applicator는 부인과 종양환자들의 방사선치료 뿐만 아니라 치료 후 삶의 질 개선에도 크게 기여할 것으로 생각되었다. Purpose : This study was aimed to develop a new vaginal applicator(Shin's Applicator) for 2-channel high-dose rate vaginal brachytherapy, to evaluate uniformity of surface dose, and to present-3-dimensional dose distribution of the applicator. Methods : Shin's Applicator was inexpensively constructed using human soft tissue equivalent Acrylic bar. We evaluated dose uniformity along the applicator surface using film densitometer and performed vaginal intracavitary brachytherapy after insertion of the applicator using HDR brachytherapy planning software and brachytherapy unit(Ralstron-20B). Results : Shin's Applicator allows improved dose distribution than the existing 1-channel cylinder and achieves diminished urinary bladder and rectal dose by 20%. Conclusions : From the above results, it can be concluded that Shin's Applicator may be an improved form of a vaginal applicator. Furthermore, it can be suggested that this applicator has an advantage, for it prevents vaginal stenosis after radiation therapy and can be used as a disposable vaginal dilator. Further follow up examination with radiological study may be helpful to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of this applicator.

회전조사시 회전각도에 따른 계산치와 측정치를 비교, 검토하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 90°회전시에는 계산치와 측정치와는 4.5%의 차이를 나타내었고, 120°회전시에는 4.4%, 180°회전시에는 3.9%, 240°회전시에는 2.9%, 360°회전시에는 2.1%의 차이를 나타내어 회전각도가 클수록 계산치와 측정치와의 차이는 적은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 회전각도에 따라 최고선량지점이 상부로 이동하는 정도는 90°에서 240°까지 회전할 때 tumor depth가 4.5㎝일 경우에는 1.67㎝에서 1.10㎝정도 상부로 이동하였으며, tumor depth가 8㎝일 경우에는 2.45㎝에서 1.40㎝정도 상부로 이동하는 것으로 나타났다. In recent years there has been a growing interest in all forms of rotational therapy and many different types of therapy machines designed for this kind of treatment have become available. To the medical radiation physicist, the dosimetry of rotation therapy has presented a number of interesting problems, and much useful work has been published on the basic data of dose distribution and dosage calculation. The setting dose for ARC therapy were obtained by computer calculation and measurement with cylindrical phantom. Authors compared computer calculation with measured value. And in ARC therapy, the region of maximum dose is shifted from the tumor center. The extent of shift was analyzed by isodose distribution for ARC therapy techniques.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for monitoring the response to radiation therapy in metastatic bone marrow of the spines. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients with metastatic bone marrow of the spines were examined with MRI. Diffusion-weighted and spin-echo MRI were performed in 10 patients before and after radiation therapy with or without systemic chemotherapy, and performed in 11 patients after radiation therapy alone. Follow up spin-echo and diffusion-weighted MRI were obtained at 1 to 6 months after radiation therapy according to patients' condition. The diffusion-weighted imaging sequence was based on reversed fast imaging with steady-state precession(PSIF). Signal intensity changes of the metastatic bone marrows before and after radiation therapy on conventional spin-echo sequence MRI and diffusion-weighted MRI were evaluated. Bone marrow contrast ratios and signal-to-noise ratios before and after radiation therapy of diffusion- weighted MRI were analyzed. Results: All metastatic bone marrow of the spinal bodies were hyperintense to normal bone marow of the spinal bodies on pretreatment diffusion-weighted MRI and positive bone marrow contrast ratios(p<0.001), and hypointense to normal spinal bodies on posttreatment diffusion-weighted MRI and negative bone marrow contrast ratios(p<0.001). The signal to noise ratios after treatment decreased comparing with those of pretreatment. Decreased signal intensity of the metastatic bone marrows on diffusion-weighted MRI began to be observed at average more than one month after the initation of the radiation therapy. Conclusion: These results suggest that diffusion-weighted MRI would be an excellent method for monitoring the response to therapy of metastatic bone marrow of the spinal bodies, however, must be investigated in a larger series of patients with longer follow up period.

목적 : 전이성 뇌종양은 성인 악성 종양환자의 흔한 합병증이다. 저자 등은 전이성 뇌종양의 임상적인 특징, 치료 효과, 생존에 영향을 미치는 예후 인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1991년 1월부터 1997년 12월까지 본원에서 전이성 뇌종양으로 진단 받은 97예의 환자를 대상으로 하여 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과 : 뇌전이의 원발종양으로는 폐암 (61예, 63%)이 가장 흔하였으며 그 외 원발 불명 전이성 뇌암 (15예, 16%), 위장관암 (13예, 13%), 유방암 (6예, 6%), 신장암 (2예, 2%) 순이었다. 단일성 뇌전이는 44예 (45%)였으며 다발성 뇌전이는 53예 (55%)였다. 치료 유무 및 종류를 고려하지 않을 경우 중앙생존기간은 3개월이었으며 1년 생존율은 8%였다. 생존율에 영향을 미치는 유의한 예후인자로는 진단당시 활동능과 신경손상의 정도 (p< 0.01)였다. 어떠한 치료도 시행하지 않는 군에 비해 스테로이드를 포함한 치료를 시행한 군에서 유의한 생존기간의 증가를 관찰할 수 있었다 (1.1개월 대 3.7개월). 스테로이드 단독 치료에 비해 전뇌 방사선 조사를 추가한 군에서 유의하게 생존기간이 연장되었다 (2.2개월 대 4.8개월). 추가적인 항암화학요법은 유의한 생존기간의 향상을 가져오지는 못하였다. 수술적 절제술을 시행한 군의 중앙생존기간은 8.8개월로 스테로이드와 전뇌 방사선치료만 시행한 군에 비해 유의한 생존기간의 증가를 보였다. 결론 : 전이성 뇌종양 환자에서 전뇌 방사선치료와 스테로이드는 유용한 완화치료 방법이며 진단 당시 활동능과 신경손상의 정도가 중요한 예후 인자로 분석되었다. 후향적인 연구로 인해 결과 해석에 한계가 있으나 수술적 절제 및 항암화학요법이 일부 선택된 환자 치료시 중요한 수단이 될 것으로 사료된다. Background : Brain metastasis is a common complication in cancer patients. We evaluated the clinical characteristics, treatment outcome and prognostic factors for patients with metastatic brain tumor. Methods : The records of 97 patients with metastatic brain tumor during the period from January 1991 to November 1997 were reviewed retrospectively. Results : The most common primary tumor is lung cancer (61 cases, 63%) followed by metastatic cancer unknown primary site (15 cases, 16%), gastrointestinal cancer (13 cases, 13%), breast cancer (6 cases, 6%) and renal cancer (2 cases, 2%). There were 44 patients with a single brain metastasis and 53 patients with multiple brain metastases. The median survival was 3.0 months and one-year survival rate was 8% irrespective of treatment. Favorable prognostic factors which affect survival were ambulatory status (p<0.01) and functional neurologic class 1, 2 (p<0.01). Median survival was 3.7 months for patients with steroid therapy and 1.1 months with no therapy (p<0.01). Median survival was 4.8 months for patients with steroid therapy plus whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and 2.2 months with steroid therapy alone (p<0.01). Additional chemotherapy did not appear to affect the survival. The patients treated with surgery had median survival time of 8.8 months compared with 2.5 months for patients treated with steroid therapy plus WBRT (p<0.05). Conclusion : In present study, we confirmed that whole brain irradiation and corticosteroid administration are effective palliative treatment for patients with metastatic brain tumor. Initial performance status and neurological function were identified as important prognostic factors. Although confounded by the limitations of retrospective study, more aggressive treatments including surgery and chemotherapy could be regarded to have a significant role to achieve better treatment outcome in some selected cases.(Korean J Med 62:444-452, 2002)

Background:This study was performed to test feasibility of CBCT(cone-beam computerized tomography) guided radiosurgery. Materials and Methods:We used CBCT which was mounted on a retractable arm at 90° to the treatment source. CBCT images were overlapped on the digitally reconstructed images from simulation CT scan. Then, 3 dimensional volumetric CT image matching was performed. If there were any positioning errors, automated patient re-positioning was done. Results:A radiosurgery treatment plan was carried out with a set of specially designed multiple non-coplanar arcs. The goal of plan was to deliver single session 18 Gy at periphery of the target. We treated a patient with a solitary brain metastasis from left upper lung cancer. Serial imaging study for treatment response revealed a satisfactory result with no remarkable treatment related side effects. Conclusion:CBCT image guided radiosurgery system is very simple and could be a convenient image guiding modality for stereotactic radiosurgery or fractionated radiotherapy with an acceptable geometric accuracy and radiation exposure.

재발성 두개강내 악성종양의 치료는 관습적으로 재수술이나 고식적 항암요법이 주된 치료법으로 이용되어 왔으나 치료효과는 만족스럽지 못하였다. 일부분의 치료기관에서는 뇌정위적으로 근접치료를 시도하였으나 선량분포의 불균일성과 시술상의 어려움으로 널리 사용되지 못하였다. 최근 방사선 영상진단기술의 발달과 치료기술의 발달에 힘입어 뇌정위적 방사선 절제술이 도입되어 그 이용범위가 넓어지면서 기능적 뇌절제술을 비롯하여 뇌동정맥기형의 치료나 뇌종양의 치료에도 많이 이용되고 있으며 고무적인 보고가 많다. 영남대학교 의과대학 치료방사선과학교실에서는 신경외과학교실과 합동으로 뇌정위적 방사선 뇌절제술에 필수적인 위치선정을 특수기구를 자체제작하여 전산화 단층촬영장치와 치료용 선형가속기에 적용가능성 여부를 검토한 후 인형 인체 모형과 필름을 이용하여 기계적 정확성과 방사선 선량 분포의 안정성을 확인한 후 과거에 근치적 뇌부분 절제술과 수술후 방사선치료를 시행후 재발된 두명의 악성 성상 세포종 환자에서 자체제작한 기구를 이용하여 뇌정위적 방사선절제술을 시행하여 고식적치료에 합당한 증상개선의 만족스런 결과를 얻었으므로 위치선정용 기구의 특성과 치료성적을 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다. Authors performed a stereotactic radiosurgery with multiple noncoplanar convergent photon beams of linear accelerator (NELAC-1018 18 MeV, NEC) using a specially designed Yeungnam localization device for two patients with recurrent gliobiastoma multiforme One patient had 2 cm sized and the other 4 cm sized mass on the CT images. After single session of treatment with 15 and 20 Gy, headache was improved in a few days after radiosurgery with no remarkable untoward reactions. Our experience with these two patients were endcouraging and we found that our localization device, which is easily adjustable and inexpensive, could be a valuable tool for stereotactic radiosurgery particularly in the treatment of recurrent brain tumor.

신세원,김성규,김명세 영남대학교 의과대학 1989 Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine Vol.6 No.2

1986년 4월부터 1988년 12월까지 영남대학병원 치료 방사선과에 폐암으로 확진후 등록된 환자중 기관지경 검사상 기도 폐쇄의 소견이 있으며 흉부 X-선 사진상 현저한 폐음영이 있었던 환자 21명에 대한 방사선 치료 성적은 다음과 같다. 1. 71.4%의 환자 (15/21)에서 임상 증상의 호전을 보였다. 2. 소세포성 암환자는 30GY/10 fractions의 선량에서도 100%의 증상 호전및 흉부 X-선상 소견의 호전을 보였다. 3. 비소세포성 암환자에서 50GY이상 조사군이 45GY이하 조사군 보다 우수한 성적을 보였다. 4. 병변의 위치와 무기폐의 호전정도는 무관하였다. Total 21 patients with airway obstruction from lung cancer treated with radiotherapy at Department of Therapeuctic Radiology, Yeungnam University College of Medicine, between April 1986 and December 1988 are retrospectively analysed by means of roentgenologic findings. Obtained results are as follows. 1.15 out of 21 patients(71%) showed complete or partial response. 2.Patients with small cell lung cancer showed 100% response in spite of low dose(30GY/10 fractions) 3.Patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with 50GY or over showed better response than below 45GY or below. 4.There is no relationship between the response and site of airway obstruction. These data suggested that high dose irradiation is more effective in the management of airway obstruction from lung cancer and meticulous radiotherapy planning with appropriate protection of normal lung and critical organs should be investigated in order to maximize radiation effect and minimize side effect, complication or sequelae.
