Abstract
목 적: 조기 유방암에서 유방보존치료(유방보존수술+방사선치료) 혹은 유방전절제술로 치료했던 환자의 초기 치료성적과 실패양상을 비교하고자 후향적으로 분석하였다.
대상 및 방법: 1989년 3월부터 1996년 8월까지 강남성모병원에서 AJCC병기 I, II로 치료를 받았던 유방암 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 88명은 유방전절제술을 시행하였고 85명은 유방보존술 후 방사선치료를 시행하였다. 방사선치료는 50 Gy 전 유방조사 후 원발부위에 10～15 Gy 추가 조사하였다. 유방보존치료 환자의 34.1%, 유방전절제 환자의 45.5%에서 항암화학요법이 병용되었다. 양 치료군의 5년생존율과 5년무병생존율, 실패양상을 비교하였으며 치료실패와 연관된 위험인자를 Log-rank test를 이용하여 분석하였다. 중앙 추적기간은 63개월이었다.
결 과: 양 치료군 간에 5년생존율, 5년무병생존율의 유의한 차이(p＞0.05)는 없었으며 국소재발 및 원격전이의 치료실패양상에도 차이가 없었다. 추적기간 중, 유방전절제군에서 11명(12.5%) 유방보존치료군에서 10명(11.8%) 재발하였다. 초기 실패양상은 국소재발이 각각 6명, 5명이었고 원격전이가 각각 5명, 4명으로 차이가 없었다. 국소재발 단독의 경우 양 치료군에서 구제치료 후 대부분의 환자가 무병생존 (5/6 유방전절제술, 3/5 유방보존치료)하였다. 그러나 원격전이 환자의 경우 양 치료군 모두에서 방사선-항암화학요법의 구제치료에도 불구하고 대부분의 환자가 진행 혹은 사망하였으며 유방보존치료군의 1명의 환자만이 원격전이 후 구제치료에 성공하여 무병생존하였다. 양 치료군 간에 반대편유방암 발생률 및 다른 장기의 2차 원발암 발생률의 차이는 없었고 유방암으로 인한 사망률도 차이가 없었다. Log-rank 단변량분석에서 치료 실패와 관련된 유의한 위험인자는 양 군 모두에서 N 병기, 액와 림프절 전이 숫자였으며 유방보존치료군에서는 수술절연침범유무가, 유방전절제군에서는 high nuclear grade가 치료실패와 관련된 위험인자였다(p＜0.05).
결 론: 초기 분석결과 AJCC 병기 I, II 조기유방암에서 유방보존치료와 유방전절제술은 생존율뿐 아니라 치료 실패양상에도 차이가 없었으며 향후 이와 같은 결과를 확인하기 위한 장기간의 추적연구가 필요하다.
Purpose: This retrospective study was conducted to compare early preliminary results of breast conservation therapy (BCT) with mastectomy in early breast cancer.
Materials and Methods: We evaluated 171 women with AJCC stage I and II breast cancer who had been treated at Kangnam St. Mary’s Hospital from March 1989 to August 1996. Eighty-eight patients underwent mastectomy and 85 patients did conservative surgery with breast irradiation. In the BCT group, all patients received whole breast irradiation to a total dose of 45～50 Gy/5～6 wks, followed by a boost to the original tumor site at least 60 Gy. Chemotherapy was administered to 29 (34.1%) patients in BCT and 40 (45.5%) in mastectomy, with various sequencing of surgery and/or radiation. We compared survival rate, patterns of failure in each treatment group and the prognostic factors that had a significant effect on treatment failure. The median follow-up time was 63 months (19～111 months). Log rank test was used to estimate the prognostic factors for treatment failure.
Results: Overall survival, disease free survival, locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis rates were not significantly different between the two treatment groups. During the follow-up period, 11 patients (12.5%) in the mastectomy group and 10 patients (11.8%) in the BCT group were failed. Six local recurrences occurred after mastectomy and 5 after BCT. Five patients failed at distant site in mastectomy and 4 in BCT. Of the local recurrence cases, five of 6 mastectomy patients and 3 of 5 BCT patients were alive with no evidence of disease after salvage surgery and/or chemoirradiation. Our results indicated that the major influence on survival was distant metastasis. Unfortunately, control of distant metastasisis was not frequently achieved. Even with salvage systemic therapy or radiotherapy, most of distant metastasis patients died or had uncontrolled disease in both treatment groups: only one of 4 BCT patients and none of mastectomy patients were alive without disease. There was no apparent difference in the incidence rate of contralateral breast cancer and non-breast 2nd primary tumor between the two treatment groups. Univariate Log-rank test identified the N stage and the involved axillary LN number as distinct prognostic factors that were highly predictive of treatment failure in both treatment groups. Additionally, marginal status in BCT and histologic nuclear grade in the mastectomy group were risk factors for treatment failure (p＜0.05).
Conclusion: Although further careful follow-up is necessary to confirm the trends evident in this series, it would appear that patterns of failure and survival rate following conservative surgery and radiotherapy in early breast cancer are similar to those following mastectomy. The great majority of patients with local recurrence had an exellent salvage rate in both treatment groups. Therefore, these preliminary short term results support BCT as an equally effective management for early breast cancer as an alternative to mastectomy.
