연구배경: 원발성 폐 선암은 다른 비소세포암에 비해 흡연과의 연관성이 상대적으로 적고 최근 증가 추세에 있으며 여성에서 많이 발생하는 특징을 가진 암종으로 폐 선암의 남녀 차이를 알아보고자 하였다.대상 및 방법: 1999년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 고신대학교 병원에 내원하여 폐 선암으로 처음으로 진단된 환자 438명을 대상으로 혈액학적, 흡연력, 돌연변이, 병리조직, 생존 기간 및 치료방법에 따른 반응 등을 조사하여 폐 선암으로 진단받은 환자의 남녀간 차이를 비교분석하였다. 결 과: 총 438명의 환자 중 남성이 259명(59.1%), 여성이 179명(40.1%)으로 남성이 많았고, 50세 이전에서의 남녀 유병률은 여성이 25.8%로 남성의 17.7%에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p=0.02). 흡연율은 남성이 86%, 여성이 18%로 남성에서 월등히 높았고(p=0.000), 전체 중간 생존기간은 남성이 639일, 여성이 823일로 여성에서 높았다(p=0.01). 전혈구검사상 혈색소가 12 g/dL 미만인 경우는 여성이 64.6%로 남성의 32.4% 비해 유의하게 높았고(p=0.001), 종양 표지자 중 CEA가 5 ng/ml 이상인 경우는 여성이 68.1%로 남성의 32.1%에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p=0.000). 병기에 따른 남녀 구성비의 차이는 보이지 않았고, EGFR 및 K-ras 돌연변이도 남녀 간 차이는 보이지 않았으며, 조직학적 소견상 기관지 폐포암의 성분을 포함하고 있었던 경우는 여성에서 20명(11.2%), 남성에서 13명(5.0%)으로 여성에서 유의하게 높았다(p=0.035). 수술을 받은 76명의 환자를 다시 항암치료를 받은 군(57명)과 항암치료를 받지 않은 군(19명)으로 나누어 생존기간을 비교한 결과 남녀 모두 항암치료를 병행한 군에서 생존기간이 유의하게 연장되었음을 확인할 수 있었고(p<0.001), 수술만 받은 환자군에서는 남녀간 생존기간의 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 수술과 항암 치료를 병행한 군에서는 통계적 유의성은 가지지 못했으나 남성에 비해 여성에서 생존기간이 더 연장되는 경향을 보였다(p=0.054).

Abstract

Background: The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the lung has been increasing worldwide, and it has been generally been accepted to be relatively unrelated to smoking with a female preponderance. The aim of this study was to examine the gender-related pathological and survival differences in patients with an adenocarcinoma of the lung. Material and Method: A retrospective review of the clinical information of patients diagnosed with an adenocarcinoma of the lung at Kosin Medical Center from January 1999 to September 2005 was performed. The patient's demographics (age, gender), smoking history, stage, serum tumor marker, pathology classification, EGFR mutation, K-ras mutation, treatment methods, and survival time were analyzed. Result: Of the 438 patients, 179 (40.9%) were female. The median age at the diagnosis was 58 years for females and 59 years for males. However, 25.8% of women and only 17.7% of men were under 50 years of age (p=0.02). The distribution of the disease stage was similar in both men and women. The bronchioloalveolar carcinoma component was diagnosed more often in women (11.2%) than in men (5.0%). The overall survival rate was higher in women than in men (p=0.01), and women had a superior therapeutic response to a combined treatment of surgery and chemotherapy. Conclusion: This study showed significant genders differences in terms of the smoking history, bronchioloalveolar carcinoma component, overall survival, and survival after combined treatment of surgery and chemotherapy. Therefore, gender differences should be considered when diagnosing and treating adenocarcinomas of the lung. (Tuberc Respir Dis 2007; 62: 203-210)
