Abstract

The frequency of primary lung cancer is increasing compared to other cancer. Complete surgical resection is the most effective method of treatment, but it is limited to only 25 to 30 percent of patients after initial clinical presentation. The survival rate is different by the subtypes of carcinoma, stages, and general condition of patients. The author investigated the survival rate of 87 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung after surgery. Age ranged from 31 to 73 years, with Lean 57.1) $\pm$ 7.15 and 80.5% (70 cases) was initially diagnosed at sixth and seventh decades. Male to female ratio was 8.9'1. Initial complaints were cough with sputum in 78.1%, weight loss in 31.0%, chest pain and discomfort in 29.9%, and hemoptysis in 24.1%. The location of the tumor was right side in 44.8% and left slde in 55.2% ; LUL in 39.1%, RLL in 20.7%, LLL in'16. 1%, RUL in 14.9% and RML in 9.2%. Stage I was 19.5%, stage II 25.3%, stage olla 54.1% and stage lIIb 1.1%. Operative procedures were as follow : pneumonectomy in 52.9%, lobectomy in 47.1%, sleeve upper lobectomy in 4 cases. Single mediastinal Iymph node involvement was observed in 17 cases, and multi-level mediastinal Iymph node involvement in 23 cases. Lower paratracheal Iymph node and subcarinal Lymph node were more frequently involved in right side lung cancer, with 8 and 10 cases, respectively and subaortic Iymph node was most frequently involved in left side lung cancer with 9 cases. Operative complications were hoarseness, wound infection and chylothorax in 7, 5 and 4 cases, respectively. The operative mortality was 2.2% and the cause of death was pulmonary edema. Postoperative follow-up period ranged from 1 month to 99 months with a mean of 29.95 $\pm$ 17.21 months. Overall one-year survival rate was 75.1 % and five-year survival rate was 29.8%. One-year and five-year survival rates were 93.7% and 52.4% for stage 1, 92.2% and 30.5% for st ge ll, and 61.2% and 17.4% for stage llla, respectively. These findings correlate survival rate with tumor size, mediastinal Iymph node metastasis and surgical resectability, and long-term survival can be expected with small sized tumor, absent mediastinal Iymph node metastasis and complete surgical resection.

노인 인구와 증가와 공해의 심화 및 진단기술의 발달로 원발성 폐암은 증가하는 추세이다. 폐암의 치료방법은 외과적 완전절제가 가장 효과적 인 방법 이나, 진단시 완전절제가 가능한 경우는 25%~30%에 불과하고 완전 절제술을 받은 환자도 폐암의 아형, 병소의 진행정도,림프절의 전이 정도 및 환자의 전신상태에 따라 장단기 생존율에 차이가 있다. 이에 저자는 편평상피세포 폐암의 임상적 소견이 수술후 장단기 생존율에 영향을 주는 인자를 규명하고자 최근 10년동안 폐암으로 완전 절제술을 받았던 148례 중 조직검사상 편평상피세포 폐암으로 진단된 87례에 대하여 술후 임상성적을 조사하였다. 연령은 31세 에서 73세까지로 평균 57.13 $\pm$ 7.15세이었고 50대와 60대가 전체의 80.5%를 차지하였으며 남자가 78례 여자가 9례로 남녀비는 8.9 1이었다. 입원시 주증상으로는 기침이 78.2%로 가장 많았고 체중감소(31.0%), 흉통(29.9%), 각혈 및 혈담(24.1%) 등이 있었다. 좌우 발생빈도는 우측이 44.8%, 좌측이 55.2%였으며 폐엽별 발생빈도는 좌상엽에 39.1%, 우하엽에 20.7%, 좌하엽에 16.1%,우상엽 14. 9%로 좌상엽에서 가장 높았다. 술후 병리조직검사 소 傷\ulcorner의한 병기는 제1병기는 19.5%, 제2병기는 25.3%, 제3a병기는 54.1%, 제)b병기는 1.1%이었다. 수술수기로는 전폐절제술이 52.9%로 가장 많았으며 47.1%에서는 폐엽절제술을, 4례에서는 상엽절제술 및 기관지성형술을 시행하였다. 종격동 림프절전 이는 단일 림프절전이가 17례이 었고, 2곳 이상의 종격동 림프절전이는 23례 였으며, 우측 종양에서는 하부 기관주위부 림프절 및 기관분기부 림프절전이가 8례와 10례로 가장 많았고, 좌측 종양에서는 대동맥 하림프절전이가 9례로 가장 많았다. 술후 2례가 폐부종에 의한 호흡부전으로 사망하여 수술사망률은 2.2%이 었으며, 수술합병증으로는 애성이 7례, 창상감염이 5례, 유미흉이 4례 있었다. 수술후 추적관찰 기간은 1개훨에서 99개훨까지 평균 29.95$\pm$ 17.21개월이었고 전체 환자의 술후 1년 생존율은 75.1%, 5년 생존율은 29.8%이었다 병기에 따른 1년 및 5년 생존률은 제1병기에서 93.7%와 52.4%이 었고, 제2병 기 에서는 92.2%와 30.5%이 었으며, 제3a병기에서는 61.2%와 17.4% 이었다. 이상의 소견으로 미루어 폐암 환자에서는 병소가 적고 종격동 림프절에 전이를 일으키기 전에 조기 에 발견하여 외과적 완전 卉┝珦\ulcorner시행하는 것이 장기 생존을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.
