Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 1, patients with breast cancer who were treated with surgery and adjuvant RT for a cure between January 1 and July 5 at Samsung Medical Center. Seventy-one patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery. The pathological stage was I in 43 patients, II in 327, and III in 243. We divided the patients into three subtypes according to immunohistochemistry: triple negative (TN, 245 patients), human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) enriched (HE, 166 patients) and positive estrogen receptor or progesterone receptor without HER2 overexpression (EP, 589 patients). The median follow up time was 72 months after surgery. Results: Locoregional failure-free survival rate and distant metastasis-free survival rate at 5 years were 92.8% and 86.1%, respectively. The disease free survival rate and overall survival rate at 5 years were 84.6% and 94.7%, respectively. Thirty-nine patients had brain metastasis, and the brain metastasis-free survival rate at 5 years was 97.2%. A univariate analysis showed that younger age, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, modified radical mastectomy, advanced pathological stage and the TN and HE subtypes were significant risk factors for brain metastasis. A multivariate analysis revealed that age, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, pathological stage and the TN and HE subtypes were statistically significant factors for brain metastasis. Conclusion: The cumulative incidence of brain metastasis was 3.9% after curative treatment. If patients have a clinically suspicious symptoms suggesting brain metastasis, clinicians should be aware that an early brain imaging work up and management are necessary. Because patients with the TN or HE subtypes accompanied by younger age and advanced pathological stage have increased brain metastasis (>1%), annual regular imaging follow-up may be recommended for these high risk patients.

ER 혹은 PR 양성인환자중 619 명은타목시펜혹은아로마타제억제제로호르몬치료를받았고, HER2 과발현으로 trastuzumab 치료를받은사람은 16명이었다. 수술후보조적방사선치료는 4-6MV 광자선을이용하여동측흉벽이나남은유방부위에접사면조사 (tangential technique) 로치료하였다. 방사선조사량은하루에 Gy씩총 Gy를조사하였고유방보존수술을시행한환자는수술부위에하루에 2-3 Gy씩 9-1 Gy 를전자선으로추가조사하였다. 그리고 271 명은쇄골상부림프절영역에 Gy를조사받았다. 재발여부는국소재발과원격전이로나누어분석하였고국소재발의경우는동측흉벽, 남은유방조직, 동측액와림프절, 동측 Table 2.

Gonzalez-Angulo 등 () 은선행항암화학요법을시행한원격전이가없었던국소진행성혹은염증성유방암환자 768명중 8% 에서중추신경계전이가발생하였고이중 % 가뇌전이였다고보고하였다. 따라서원격전이가없는유방암환자에서근치적치 료를시행후뇌전이가발생할위험성은 6.5% 이내로추정되고, 한국유방암학회에서발간한유방암백서 (24) 에서국내조기유방암의비율이 6년도에 48.8% 이고그비율이점차증가하는경향을보이는것을고려하면우리나라에서근치적치료후뇌전이가발생할위험성은더낮을것으로추정되고본연구결과와일치하는것으로생각된다. 본연구에서뇌전이는 9-97개월사이에발생하였고중앙값이 46개월로이전의보고된 27-32개월보다늦게진단되었는데이는대상환자군의차이때문으로생각된다.(,23) 본연구에서는 1기가 43.2%, 2기가 32.7% 로조기유방암이 5% 이상을차지한다. Gonzalez-Angulo 등 () 은종양의크기가클수록, 액와림프절전이가양성일때그리고병리학적병기가높을수록통계적으로유의하게뇌전이위험성이증가하고, 따라서질병경과가더진행된종양일수록뇌전이까지간격이짧아진다고하였다. 발생시기에있어서는세연구간에차이가있지만시간이경과하더라도뇌전이는계속발생한다는점과 5년이상경과한후에도다른

6 S62 Sun Hyun Bae, et al. 부위의재발없이뇌전이가발견되거나, 원격전이와동반해서함께혹은추가적으로발생하는경우가지속적으로관찰된다는점은일치한다. 본연구는이미알려져있는임상적, 병리학적요인들외에도호르몬수용체에따라 ER 음성, PR 음성, HER2 과발현그리고면역조직화학적아형중 HER2 과발현군혹은삼중음성군모두가뇌전이에대한단변량분석과다변량분석에서통계적으로유의한인자임을보고하였다. 이는 Smid 등 (16) 이유전자발현정도에따라유방암환자를여러분자생물학적아형으로나누었을때 HER2 과발현혹은기저형 (basal subtype) 의경우뇌전이율이증가한다는보고와재발성혹은전이성유방암환자를연구한최근의연구들에서 HER2 과발현군의경우나 ER 음성혹은 PR 음성일경우뇌전이가증가한다는보고와일치한다.(8,17-19) 그러나여러연구들에서보고한것처럼 HER2 과발현군에서 trastuzumab로치료할때뇌전이율이증가하는현상은본연구에서 HER2 과발현환자중에서 2년도후반기부터 1% 만이 trastuzumab 치료를받았다는점을고려할때아직해석하기에어려움이있다. Graesslin 등 (19) 은재발성혹은전이성유방암환자의뇌전이에영향을미치는인자들을분석하였고연령, 종양의분화도, ER 상태, HER2 과발현유무, 원격전이의수, 그리고진단부터재발까지시간간격이독립적으로중요한인자임을확인하였고, 각각의인자를점수화하여계산도표를만들고환자특성에따라뇌전이위험성을예측하려고시도하였다. Slimane 등 (17) 은전이성유방암환자의특성을분석하였을때처음원격전이가발생한장기가폐이거나호르몬수용체음성인경우가그렇지않은환자에비해뇌전이의위험성이크기때문에해당환자의경우뇌전이여부를확인하기위한선별검사가필요하고, 예방적전뇌조사 (prophylactic cranial irradiation) 혹은혈액뇌관문을통과하는약제사용에대한연구가필요하다고제안하였다. 근치적치료를시행한유방암환자를대상으로한본연구에서는하위군분석에서 세이하, 병리학적병기가 3기인경우뇌전이가 13.7%, 세이하, 병리학적병기가 3기그리고선행항암화학요법을시행한경우뇌전이가 35.7% 로전체환자군에비해뇌전이위험성이높았다. 이들환자군에서면역조직화학적아형에따라분석할때삼중음성군이나 HER2 과발현일경우그위험성이더증가하는것이관찰되었으나통계적으로유의하지는않았는데이는환자수가적어서유의성판단을위해서는더많은환자수가필요하다고생각된다. 이러한고위험군에서, 수술후 14 개월이후에지속적으로뇌전이가발생하는것을고려할때수술후 1년마다뇌전이여부를확인하기위한선별검사를고려할수있을것으로생각된다. 결론적으로근치적치료를받은유방암환자에서뇌전이발생 률은 3.9% 였다. 뇌전이는시간이경과하더라도계속발생하기때문에경과관찰중에환자가임상적으로뇌전이가의심되는증상 ( 두통, 구역, 구토, 행동장애, 성격변화, 신경학적증상등 ) 을호소하는경우뇌전이의가능성을고려하여빠르고적절한검사와처치가필요할것으로생각된다. 특히 세이하, 병리학적병기가 3기인경우뇌전이발생률이 1% 를넘고, 이를면역조직화학적아형에따라분류할때삼중음성군이나 HER2 과발현에서그위험성이증가하는경향성을보였다. 본연구결과를고려하면이러한위험군의특성을지닌환자들에서는근치적치료후 1년마다뇌전이유무를확인하기위한선별검사를고려할수있을것으로생각되지만, 본연구가후향적으로분석되었고연구대상이된환자의표본수가충분하지않아결과적으로뇌전이발생수가 39 예에불과하여향후대규모환자를대상으로한추가적인연구가필요할것으로생각된다. 참고문헌 1.
