Among the various treatment methods for breast cancer, chemotherapy plays an important role. The use chemotherapy to treat breast cancer began at the mid 20th century and first combination chemotherapy was conducted in mid 970s. This chemotherapy reduced breast cancer mortality up to 25~30%, anthracycline and taxane based chemotherapeutic regimens are widely used. Chemotherapy could be classified to neoadjuavnt, adjuvant and palliative setting according to its aim and role. In this review, various drug therapeutic options and their backgrounds are considered based on neoadjuvant, adjuvant and metastatic systemic therapies.

Lee A and Moon BI 행성유방암을수술이가능하게할경우, 수술종양의크기를감소시켜유방보존술의가능성을증가시킬경우, 환자의사정으로당장수술이불가능할경우등에서신보강화학요법을시행할수있다. 이러한점이외에도항암제에대한종양의감수성정도를평가할수있으며, 항암제에대한종양의반응정도를평가하여환자의예후를판단하는것이가능하며, 또한미세전이를조기에치료할수있다는장점이있다. 하지만보조화학요법과비교하여서예후의차이는없는것으로알려져있다 [5-7]. 그러나, 수술전항암요법을시행함으로인하여서환자의정확한병기를판단하기가어려우며, 종양의완전관해가일어날경우수술시원발종양의위치판단이어려운경우가발생하기도한다. 또한항암치료전조직검사를통하여서유방암세포의생물학적특성을검사하지않았을경우, 항암요법을통하여이러한생물학적특성이변할수있으므로정확한종양세포의특성을판별하기가힘든경우가발생하기도한다. 신보강화학요법은 anthracycline 을기본으로하는치료가주가되고있으며, 최근에는여기에 taxane 을추가하는요법이많이시행되고있다. 실제적으로미국 National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project Protocols (NSABP) B-27 에따르면신보강화학요법을시행한환자들을항암요법에따라비교해보았을때 AC (doxorubicin + cyclophophamide) 요법을받은군보다 AC 항암치료후 taxane (docetaxel) 을추가하여서치료한군에서병리학적완전관해율이높은것으로보고되었다 [8]. Taxane 시기에대해서는 German Preoperative Adriamycin Docetaxel (GEPARDO) 그룹에서연구를시행하였다. 이연구는 93 명의유방암환자들을대상으로 AC 시행후순차적으로 taxane (docetaxel) 항암치료를시행한군과 AT 항암치료를결과를비교분석하였으며, 각각의완전관해율이 4.3% 와 7.0% 로 AC 후 taxane (docetaxel) 순차요법을시행한환자군에서완전관해율이의미있게높은것으로보고되었다 (P<0.00) [9]. 따라서 taxane 추가요법의경우순차적항암요법이병행요법보다결과가우수한것을알수있다. Anthracycline 및 taxane 을기본으로한항암요법의회수에관해서는몇몇연구가있으며이에대해서는 3차보다는 6차항암요법을시행하는것이병리학적관해율이높은것으로보고하였다 (Fig. ) [0,]. Steger 등 [0] 은 292 명의환자들을대상으로 epirubicin+taxane (docetaxel) 을 3회투여하였을경우와 6회투여하였을경우의병리학적완전관해율을비교하였으며, 이결과완전관해율이 7.7% 와 8.6% 로 6회의신보강화학요법을시행하였을경우완전관해율이더높은것으로나타났다 (P=0.0045). Reitsamer 등 [] 도임상병기 2기와 3기의환자들을대상으로하여 3주기와 6주기의 epidoxorubicin+taxane (docetaxel) 의반응률을평가하였으며 6주기의항암요법에서더욱높은관해율을보고하였다. 최근유방암의분자생물학적연구가많이진행됨에따라서 HER-2 양성유방암에서 anthracycine 과 taxane 요법에 trastuzumab 을추가하여항암요법을시행한임상연구결과가보고되었으며, 이결과완전관해율이 3.7% 로서기존의보고치인 5.7% 보다훨씬좋은결과를보여주었다 [2]. 이러한결과를바탕으로 HER-2 양성유방암에서기존의 anthracycine 및 taxane 요법에 trastuzumab 을추가하는것이추천되고있다 [3]. 이외에도현재유방암의신보강화학요법으로 gemcitabine 의효과에대하여연구가시행되고있으나, 병리학적관해율에는크게영향을미치지않는것으로보고되었다 [4]. 또한 lapatinib 이나 bevacizumab 같은표적치료제를함께사용한연구가발표되고있으나, 이에대한연구결과는좀더지켜봐야할것으로생각한다 [5,6]. 2. 보조항암요법보조항암치료여부를결정하는데있어서가장대표적인권고안은미국의 NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network) 권고안 [7], 유럽의 St. Gallen 권고안 [8] 과한국유방암학회권고 Fig..

Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer 안 [3] 등을들수있다. NCCN 권고안과한국유방암학회권고안의경우에는 2 mm 이상크기의암세포가겨드랑이림프절에전이가있는경우에는반드시항암요법을시행하는것을권고하고있으며, 겨드랑이림프절의전이가없거나전이가있더라도 2 mm 미만의미세전이일경우에는종양의크기와특성에따라서항암여부를결정하도록권고하고있다. 종양의크기에관해서는 cm 보다큰경우에는항암요법을권고하고있으며, cm 이하의경우에는종양의특성및겨드랑이림프절의미세전이여부에따라서생략이가능할수도있다고권고하고있다. 하지만 St. Gallen 권고안의경우항암치료를생략할수있는종양의크기를 2 cm 기준으로권고하고있다. 최근우리나라도고령화사회로진입하면서고령의유방암환 자가증가하고있는실정이며, 이들에게서의보조항암요법의시행여부를결정하여야하는경우가많다. 유방암에서의항암요법은대개 70 세이상의고령의환자들에게서시행하지않고있으나, 경우에따라서는항암제의종류에따른독성, 환자의신체상태에따라서시행할수도있다. 하지만이러한경우에는항암제의독성및환자의신체적상황과항암치료로얻을수있는환자의이득을고려하여신중한판단을하여야할것이다. 유방암의보조항암요법에서주로쓰이는항암제는 CMF 요법, anthracycline 기반요법, taxane 기반요법이있다 (Table ). ) CMF 요법 970 년대중반 Bonadonna 등 [4] 은겨드랑이림프절전이가있 Table.

Lee A and Moon BI 는 386 명의원발성유방암환자들을대상으로하여서, 이중 207 명의환자들에게수술후 CMF 보조항암치료요법을실시하였다. 27 개월의추적관찰결과 CMF 의유효성을입증하였으며, 이들환자를 20 년추적관찰한결과대조군과비교하여 35% 의재발위험율감소와 24% 의사망률감소효과를보여주었다 [9]. CMF 요법과 anthracycline 기반요법의효능성에대한연구로서는 NSABP B-5 및 B-23 가있다. NSABP B-5 연구의경우 개이상의겨드랑이림프절전이가있는 2,94 명의유방암환자들을대상으로 4주기 AC 요법과 6주기의 CMF 항암요법을시행하였으며, 이결과 3년무병생존율및전체생존율의차이는없는것으로나타났다 [20]. NSABP B-23 의경우 2,008 명의겨드랑이림프절전이가없는환자들에게서 CMF 6주기요법과 AC 4주기요법을비교하였으며, 이결과역시두군간의유효한차이는보이지않았다 [2]. CMF 는 6주기요법을시행하고있으며투여방법에는경구및정맥주사방법이있으며, 경구투여방법이더욱더효과적이다 [2]. 최근겨드랑이림프절전이가있는환자군에서 AC, taxane 순차요법의효용성이밝혀짐에따라 [22], CMF 요법은겨드랑이림프절전이가없는조기유방암환자들을대상으로하여서시행하고있다. Topoisomerase IIα 는유전자복제에있어서핵심적인역할을하는효소이며, 이는많은항암치료제의표적이되고있다. 이효소의유전자는 7번염색체에위치하고있으며, 이는 HER-2/ neu 종양유전자와매우가까이위치하고있다. 이러한연관성때문에 HER-2 양성유방암의경우많게는약 40% 정도에서까지 topoisomerase IIα 유전자가같이과발현된다. 의경우 topoisomerase IIα 을억제하여서항암제로서의기능을하게되며, 따라서 HER-2/neu 가과발현되는유방암의경우 topoisomerase IIα 유전자과발현이같이동반될경우다른항암제보다높은 doxorubicin 의효과를기대할수있다 []. 하지만모든환자에게서이러한유전자검사를시행할수없기때문에 HER-2 양성유방암의경우 CMF 보다는 anthracycline 을포함한항암요법을시행하는것을권고하고있다 [3]. Anthracycline 계열의항암제의주요부작용으로서는심장독성을들수가있다. 이는항암제의누적용량에비례하게되며, doxorubicin 의경우누적용량이 450/m 2, epirubicin 의경우 0/ m 2 를초과하는경우심부전의위험성은증가하게된다. 심장독성을예방하기위해 dexrazoxane 을 anthracycline 과병용투여할수있다 [2]. 2) Anthracycline 기반항암요법 Anthracycline 계열의약제로는 doxorubicin, epiru bicin 등이있으며, 이를기반으로한항암요법은 AC (doxorubicin+cyclophophamide), EC (epirubicin+cyclophophamide), FAC (5-fluorouracil [FU]+ doxorubicin+cyclophophamide), FEC (5-FU+epirubicin+cyclo phophamide), CAF (cyclophophamide+doxorubicin+5-fu) 등이있다. Martin 등 [23] 은 985 명의근치적유방암수술을받은환자들을대상으로 CMF 와 FAC 의효과에대해비교연구를시행하였으며, 이결과겨드랑이림프절전이가있는군에서만 FAC 가 CMF 요법에비해 5년무병생존율의경우 2%, 7.5년무병생존율의경우 5% 의생존향상률을보여주었다. 또한전체생존율에있어서도 FAC 요법이유의하게높은생존율을보여주었다 (P=0.0378). 을기반으로한요법과 CMF 요법을비교한연구들을살펴보면, 겨드랑이림프절양성인환자들을대상으로 EC 8 주기와 CMF 6주기를비교하였을때무병생존율이나전체생존율의차이는보여주지못하였다 [24]. 하지만 FEC 6주기요법과 CMF 6주기의요법을비교분석하였을때에는겨드랑이림프절전이여부에상관없이 FEC 가좀더좋은결과를보여주었다 [25-27]. 이상의결과들을종합하여볼때림프절전이여부와상관없이 4주기 AC 요법이 6주기 CMF 요법과비슷한효과를나타내는것을알수있었으며, 6주기의 FAC 나 FEC 요법이 6주기의 CMF 요법보다는좀더우수한효과를보이는점을알수있다. 3) Taxane 기반항암요법 Taxane 계통의약물로는 paclitaxel 과 docetaxel 이있으며. 이들은세포분열시 microtubule 에작용하여서항암효과를나타낸다. 이러한 taxane 약물을포함하는항암요법은 AC 4주기후 taxane 4주기요법 ( 총 8주기 ), 6주기 TAC (docetaxel + doxorubicin + cyclophophamide), 4주기 TC (docetaxel + cyclophophamide) 요법등이있다. 보조항암요법으로서의 taxane 의효과는 Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 9344 연구를통하여서보고되었다. 이연구에서는 3,2 명의림프절전이가있는환자를대상으로 4주기 AC 후순차적으로 4주기추가 paclitaxel 항암요법을시행한군과시행하지않은군을비교분석을시행하였다. 이결과추가 paclitaxel 항암요법시행군에서무병생존율과전체생존율이의미있게향상되었다 [22]. TAC 요법의경우 Breast Cancer International Group (BCIRG) 00 연구에서 FAC 요법과비교분석을시행하였다. 이연구에서는,49 명의겨드랑이림프절양성인환자를대상으로 6주기의 TAC 요법과 6주기의 FAC 요법을비교분석하였으며, 이결과 TAC 요법을받은그룹에서 % 의재발위험률감소 (P=0.00) 와 30% 의사망률감소 (P=0.008) 를보여주었다 [29]. US Oncology Trial 9735 경우,06 명의환자들을대상으로하여서 4주기의 TC 와 4주기의 AC 요법을 5년및 7년추적관찰을시행후비교분석하였다. 이연구의 5년추적관찰의결과무병생 78 THE EWHA MEDICAL JOURNAL
Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer 존율의경우 TC 군에서좋은결과를보였으나, 전체생존율의경우두군간의유의한차이는보이지않았다 [30]. 하지만 7년추적관찰결과무병생존율의경우 TC 군이 8%, AC 군이 % 로 TC 군에서유의하게높았으며 (P=0.032), 전체생존율도 TC 87%, AC 가 82% 로 TC군에서유의하게높았다 (P=0.032) [3]. 따라서이러한결과를살펴볼때심장독성의위험성이높은환자에게서 AC 요법대신 TC 요법을사용할수도있을것으로생각된다. 이러한연구결과들을종합하여현재겨드랑이림프절전이가있는유방암환자의보조치료에서 taxane 을포함한보조요법을시행하고있다. Paclitaxel 의주요부작용으로서는말초신경병증이있으며이는약 % 의환자에서나타나는것으로보고되고있다. 이는약제의용량과관련이있으며, 주로사지말단의감각이상의형태로나타나게된다. 하지만경우에따라서는운동장애나자율신경병증이나타나는경우도있다. 약 5~5% 의환자들에게서는관절통과근육통이동반될수있다. Docetaxel 의경우에도 paclitaxel 과유사한부작용들이나타날수있으며, 특이적인부작용으로는체액저류의빈도가 paclitaxel 보다높다는점이다. 이는주로 docetaxel 의누적사용량과관련이있으며, 총누적용량이 400 mg/m 2 이상일때발생률은급격히증가하게된다. 이로인해말초부종, 늑막삼출, 체중증가와같은현상이생길수있다 [32]. 3. 전이성유방암의항암요법전이성유방암의치료의목적은환자의삶의질을향상시키고, 질병의완치보다는완화를목적으로하고있다. 전이성유방암의치료에는항호르몬치료, 표적치료, 항암요법등과같은여러방법이있다. NCCN 권고안에서는호르몬수용체, HER-2 의발현여부와는상관없이뼈나연부조직전이를제외한내부장기로의 전이가있으며이로인한증상이있을경우항암요법을우선으로선택하는것을제시하고있으며, 또한특별한분자생물학적표적이없는삼중음성유방암의경우에도항암요법을우선치료방법으로권유하고있다. 아울러호르몬수용체가발현하더라도항호르몬치료에반응하지않는경우도항암요법의대상이된다. 항암치료약제의선택에있어서고려하여야할점은먼저종양에대한적절한관해율이나종양의안정화를이룰수있는지여부이다. 종양의적절한관해율은적어도 20~30% 이상이되어야하며, 종양이안정화되어더이상성장을안하는경우에는부분관해를보인환자와비슷한생존기간을보인다. 전이성유방암의약제선택에있어서항암제감수성검사가도움이될수있을것이다. 다음으로고려하여야할것이부작용을최소화할수있으며, 아울러가능하면간편하게시행할수있는항암제를선택하는것이고려의대상이될것이다 []. 전이성유방암항암요법에서는단독요법보다는병합요법이병의진행기간을늦출수있다고보고되고있으나, 단독요법과병합요법두군간의전체생존율의차이는크게차이가없는것으로나타났다 [33-36]. 선호되는단독항암제들로서는 doxorubicin, paclitaxel, capecitabine, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, eribulin 등이있으며, 주로사용하는병합요법들로서는 CAF/FAC, FEC, AC, EC, CMF, docetaxel/capecitabine, GT (gemcitabine/paclitaxel) 등을들수있다 (Tables 2, 3). HER2 양성전이성유방암일경우에는기존의항암제에 trastuzumab 을포함한요법을사용할수있으며, 이러한약물들에는 paclitaxel, docetaxel, vinorelbine, gapecitabine 등이있다. 병용요법에서항암제선택시고려사항은각약물간의교차내성이없어야하며, 병용투여시치료효과가상승한다는증거가있어야하며, 항암제의독성이증가하지않아야한다 [7].
