유미흉은 주로 악성종양에 의한 흉관의 폐쇄, 유미뇨는 림프관과 요관과의 누공형성이 주된 원인이다. 저자들은 유미흉의 원인으로 섬유육종에 의한 흉관 폐쇄, 유미뇨의 원인으로 요로계와 림프관의 누공형성을 의심하였으나 검사상 증거를 찾을 수 없어 특발성 유미흉 및 특발성 유미뇨로 진단한 1예를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
Background : Paclitaxel is highly beneficial anticancer drug for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and has shown remarkable radiosensitizing effect in vitro. We evaluated whether concurrent chemoradiation therapy with weekly paclitaxel (60 mg/m2) could be tolerated and effective in the treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods : Twenty-two stage III (IIIA:6, IIIB:16) NSCLC patients were treated with weekly administration of paclitaxel (60 mg/m2) on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36 in addition to concurrent radiation therapy of 54 Gy. After the initial phase of concurrent chemoradiation, patients received additional two cycles of consolidation chemotherapy with paclitaxel (175mg/m2)/cisplatin (75 mg/m2) or paclitaxel (175 mg/m2)/carboplatin (6AUC) every 3 weeks. Results : Overall response rate was 81.8% (18/22) with 9.1% (2/22) of complete response and 72.7% (16/22) of partial response rate. Two patients (9.1%) died of chemoradiation-induced pneumonitis after completion of therapy. In total, grade 3 toxicities included pneumonitis (22.7%), esophagitis (22.7%), neuropathy (13.6%), and neutropenia (13.6%). The median survival time was 15 months and 2-year overall survival were 31.8%. Conclusion : Concurrent chemoradiation therapy with weekly paclitaxel in locally advanced NSCLC showed good local response, but survival rate was not completely satisfactory due to potentially fatal chemoradiation-induced pneumonitis.(Tuberc Respir Dis 2004; 57:351-357)
