Radiation therapy or concurrent chemoradiation therapy is mainstay for treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. We evaluated clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and assessed prognostic factors related to survival. Subjects and MethodZZWe retrospectively reviewed medical records of 87 patients who were treated for nasopharyngeal carcinoma from 1994 to Clinical characteristics, pathologic type, stage, treatment modality, recurrence and survival were investigated. ResultsZZThe mean follow-up period was 66.7 (12-232) months. Recurrence rates were not significantly different between the radiation therapy group and combined chemoradiation groups in the early stage (27.3% vs. 21.6%, p=0.644) and the advanced stage (21.4% vs. 31.3%, p=0.496). Five-year overall survival and disease free survival rate was 74.0% and 58.9%, respectively. Five-year overall survival rate of the combined chemoradiation therapy group was significantly lower than that of the radiation therapy group (64.4% vs. 94.1%, p=0.001). Distant metastasis was significantly correlated with survival in multivariate analysis. ConclusionZZIn this study, the five-year overall survival rate was better in the radiation therapy group than in the combined chemoradiation group. This might be related to the fact that advanced stage disease was more common in the combined chemoradiation group. Further studies with larger study samples and longer follow-up are necessary to verify these results and determine optimal modalities for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

I, II 병기와 III, IV 병기로나누어병기에따른치료법을비교해보았을때, I, II 병기에서는방사선단독치료가 53.7% (22/41) 에서, 병합치료가 46.3%(19/41) 에서시행되었으며, III, 223

Time (months) 대부분의비인강암환자의경우, 초기증상이경미하고, 발 현되는증상이다양하며경부림프절종창이나혈관운동성 비염, 감염성비부비동염등양성의비강질환과흡사한증상 을보이는경우가많아비인두검사를소홀히하는경우초기 에진단이어려울수있다. 진행된환자에서도병변이두개강 내로파급되어뇌신경증상이나두통같은신경학적증상을 보이는경우가많아두개내질환으로오인되는경우역시많 다. 본연구에서도비폐색이나코피, 이충만감등의코나귀의 증상으로병원을찾은경우가 32예 (36.8%) 였다. 이러한이유가초치료가늦어지고치료가어려워지는원인중의하나가되며, 특히비인강암의유병률이낮은대부분의지역에서문제점으로인식되고있다. 14) 비인두는수술로서접근하기어려운반면방사선치료에비교적잘반응하기때문에비인강암의치료에서방사선치료가주된역할을담당하고있다. 최근에는전산화단층촬영및자기공명촬영으로종양의국소침범부위를정확하게예측하는방사선치료의시뮬레이션기법의향상으로인해방사선치료후생존율이점차향상되고있으며, 15) 세기변조방사선치료 (intensity modulated radiation therapy) 의도입으로, 통상적방사선치료에비해높은치료성공률과생존율을얻었다는보고가있다. 16) 하지만진행된비인강암의경우단독방사선치료에의한성공률이높지않아선행항암화학치료후방사선치료나동시항암화학방사선치료등이시도되고있고, 이를통해더좋은치료결과를얻었다는연구들이있다. 8,9) 동시항암화학방사선치료와방사선단독치료의결과를비교한무작위 3상임상시험에서 3년생존율과무병생존율모두동시항암화학방사선치료가월등히높다고보고하였으며, 7) 또다른연구에서도동시항암화학방사선치료를받은환자군의생존율및국소치료율이방사선단독치료군에비해더높았다고보고하였다. 8) 동시항암화학방사선치료와방사선단독치료를비교한메타연구에서도생존율, 재발률, 원격전이에있어동시항암화학방사선치료가방사선단독치료보다좋은결과를보인다고보고하였다. 9) 조기암과진행암을나누어분석한다른연구에서도전체환자군을대상으로하면치료에따른무병생존율의통계학적차이는없으나, 진행암군에서만분석하면동시항암화학방사선치료군의무병생존율이유의하게높았다는보고가있다. 10) III/IV 병기의진행된비인강암만을대상으로동시항암화학방사선치료와방사선단독치료를비교한무작위전향적연구에서도동시항암화학방사선치료가항암제로인한부작용은있지만, 초기치료반응및생존율이통계적으로유의하게높다고보고하였다. 11) 유도항암화학요법의장점과동시항암화학방사선치료의장점을모두얻기위해시행하는유도항암화학요법후동시항암화학방사선치료후의치료성적을보고한연구에의하면, 질병특이생존율, 전체생존율과재발률에서모두좋은결과를얻었다는보고가있다. 17) National Comprehensive Cancer Network 의암치료지침은 T1 병기의림프절전이가없는비인강암의치료로는방사 226
