Purpose
We evaluated health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in long-term survivors of indolent and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Materials and Methods
TheHRQOLwas assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) at diagnosis in NHL patients between 2008 and 2011, and follow-up evaluation was conducted from June 2014 to February 2015 using EORTC QLQ-C30 and the quality of life in cancer survivors (QOL-CS) questionnaire. We used linear mixed models to compare changes in HRQOL between indolent and aggressive NHL over time.
Results
The HRQOL of long-term survivors with aggressive NHL improved to the similar level of indolent NHL during the follow-up survey. However, survivors of NHL were found to fear the probability of relapse and second malignancy, and the degree of fear was not different between survivors with aggressive stage I/II or III/IV NHL (p > 0.05). Furthermore, a half of survivors reported impaired sense of psychosocial well-being regardless of aggressiveness and stage during follow-up survey. More than 65% of survivors thought they did not receive sufficient support from others, and patients who had financial difficulties at diagnosis were more frequently associated with suffering from insufficient support. Impaired physical and cognitive functioning at diagnosis was significantly associated with lack of life purpose in long-term survivors.
Conclusion
The HRQOL of aggressive NHL survivors improved to a similar level to that of indolent NHL. However, the majority of survivors still had fear of relapse, and psychosocial well-being remained unmet needs.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) other than HPV 16/18 on the natural course of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL).
Materials and Methods
The study population was derived from the Korean HPV cohort (2010-2014). Women aged 20 to 60 who satisfied the criteria of having both HPV infection and abnormal cervical cytology of either ASC-US or LSIL were recruited from five institutions nationwide. Enrolled patients underwent cervical cytology and HPV DNA testing every 6 months.
Results
A total of 1,158 patients were enrolled. The 10 most common HPV types were HPV 16 (12.3%), 58 (10.0%), 56 (8.8%), 53 (8.4%), 52 (7.7%), 39 (6.2%), 18 (6.0%), 51 (5.7%), 68 (5.1%), and 66 (4.6%). Among these patients, 636 women were positive for high-risk HPVs other than HPV 16 or 18, and 429 women were followed for more than 6 months. Cytology evaluations showed progression in 15.3% of women, no change in 22.6%, and regression in 62.1% of women at 12 months. In cases of HPV 58 single infection, a more highly significant progression rate, compared to other high-risk types, was observed at 6 months (relative risk [RR], 3.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.04 to 5.30; p < 0.001) and 12 months (RR, 5.03; 95% CI, 2.56 to 9.91; p < 0.001).
Conclusion
HPV genotypes numbered in the 50s were frequent in Korean women with ASC-US and LSIL. HPV 58 was the second most common type, with a high progression rate of cervical cytology.

Association between Health Behaviors and a Family History of Cancer among Korean Women
Youngsun Ham, Hea Young Oh, Sang-Soo Seo, Mi Kyung Kim
Cancer Res Treat. 2016;48(2):806-814.   Published online September 22, 2015
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2015.083
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Purpose
The aim of this study was to examine the health-related behaviors related to a family history of cancer (FHCA) among Korean women underwent cancer screening.
Materials and Methods
A total of 8,956 women who underwent cancer screenings during 2001-2011 at the National Cancer Center, Korea, were analyzed. The association between health-related behaviors and a FHCA were assessed using multivariate logistic regression.
Results
Compared to women with no FHCA, women with FHCA were more likely to smoke (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06 to 1.65), to be exposed to passive smoking (aOR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.65), and less likely to engage in regular exercise (aOR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.41). Combined effects of selected health behaviors for FHCA were significant, although no statistically significant interactions were observed between selected health behaviors. Compared to women with no FHCA, women with FHCA were more likely to simultaneously smoke and be exposed to passive smoking (aOR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.17 to 2.31) and to simultaneously smoke and be physically inactive (aOR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.00 to 2.64).
Conclusion
The study found that women with a FHCA exhibited unhealthy behaviors compared to women without FHCA. Higher emphasis on lifestyle modifications using a new standardized tool is strongly recommended for those with a FHCA, as well as individuals who are at high risk, together with their family members.

Correlation of AR, EGFR, and HER2 Expression Levels in Prostate Cancer: Immunohistochemical Analysis and Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization
Kwang Hyun Baek, Min Eui Hong, Yoon Yang Jung, Chung Hun Lee, Tae Jin Lee, Eon Sub Park, Mi Kyung Kim, Jae Hyung Yoo, Soo Whan Lee

PURPOSE
The androgen receptor (AR) plays a central role in prostate cancer. Evidence from several groups indicates that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) may enhance AR activity in prostate cancer cell lines. This study was designed to investigate the protein expression of AR, EGFR, and HER2 and to determine whether the EGFR and HER2 genes are amplified in prostate cancer tissues.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The protein expression levels of AR, EGFR, and HER2 in a tissue microarray block of 66 prostate cancer samples were investigated by immunohistochemical analysis and chromogenic in situ hybridization was used to determine whether the EGFR and HER2 genes were amplified in these tissues.
RESULTS
The AR and EGFR proteins were expressed in 59.1% and 40.9% of prostate cancers, respectively, but their expression levels were not significantly associated with clinicopathologic factors. Of the cases in which tissues were negative for EGFR protein expression, 69.2% were positive for AR protein expression; however, AR protein expression was significantly reduced (44.4%) in tissues in which EGFR protein was expressed. HER2 expression was detected in only 1 case (1.5%). No amplification of the EGFR or HER2 genes was found in prostate cancer specimens.
CONCLUSION
This study was limited by small number of subjects, but it can still be inferred that the expression levels of the AR and EGFR proteins are inversely correlated in prostate cancer patients. The potential utility of EGFR and HER2 as prognostic factors or therapeutic targets warrants further study.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Purpose

In this phase II study, the efficacy and safety of weekly paclitaxel concomitant with cisplatin and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) was evaluated in patients with locally-advanced unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Materials and Methods

Patients with stage III NSCLC (without pleural effusion or cervical lymphadenopathy) received TRT (63 Gy in 35 fractions over 7 weeks) with concurrent weekly cisplatin 20 mg/m2 and paclitaxel 40 mg/m2/week infused over 3 hours. In patients without evidence of disease progression, the administration of a further 2 cycles of consolidation chemotherapy, consisting of paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m2, were planned after completion of the TRT.

Results

Between Feb 2000 and Dec 2002, 20 patients were entered into the study; 13 completed all 7 weeks of treatment (median 7.6 weeks; range 3.3 to 9.4). Seven out of 16 (43.8%) objective responses were observed, with 15 (75%) patients experiencing at least one episode of grade 3/4 toxicity. The main toxicities were moderate to severe neutropenia and gastrointestinal toxicity.

Conclusion

The unsatisfactory response rate and the high incidence of grade 3/4 hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities, including 7 early discontinuations of treatment and exceeding the study stopping rules, prompted the early closure of the study. In view of the activity observed, the protocol was amended to protracted continuous infusion paclitaxel, cisplatin and concurrent TRT.

Hee Young Cho, Mi Kyung Kim, Young Do Yoo, Myung Ju Ahn, Joung Soon Jang
Cancer Res Treat. 2003;35(6):489-496.   Published online December 31, 2003
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2003.35.6.489
AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
Small cell lung cancer is one of the major causes of death from cancer worldwide. To explore the expressions of global protein in small cell lung cancer cells, a proteomic approach, to identify the proteins, was used and the establishment of a protein reference map attempted.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), with subsequent analysis by mass spectrometry (MS), was applied to the study of protein identification from a small cell lung cancer cell line, NCI- H211. The cells were lysed, and the extracts subjected to isoelectric focusing, with immobilized pH gradients, followed by second dimension SDS-PAGE. The polypeptides were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting, with MALDI-TOF MS, after in-gel protein digestion. RESULTS: From silver staining of the gel, around two thousands protein spots were separated by the 2-DE. Of these protein spots visualized in the gel, one hundred and ten were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting. Different proteins, such as enzymes, cytoskeletal proteins and proteins common to eukaryotic cells, were identified.
CONCLUSION
The protein expressions of the small cell lung cancer cells were analyzed to establish a protein reference map. The reference map presented here may serve as a working tool for the further study of small cell lung cancer.

Effect of p53 and p16 Protein Expression in Relation to Body Mass Index for Breast Cancer Risk
Mi Kyung Kim, Jung Yeon Kim, Gyung yub Gong, Sei Hyun Ahn
J Korean Cancer Assoc. 2001;33(2):149-157.
AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
This study was conducted to investigate whether breast cancer with p53 protein overexpression (p53+) and loss of p16 protein expression (p16-) shows different body size indicator (height, weight, body mass index) associations as compared with breast tumors without p53 protein overexpression and the loss of p16 expression (p53-, p16+).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A hospital based case-control study was conducted among 92 women patients and 122 control subjects. The p53 protein overexpression and loss of p16 protein expression in the tissue sections of patients with breast cancer were determined using immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS
A total of 26 tumors (28%) demonstrated p53 overexpression and 35 tumors (46%) showed abnormal p16 expression. The heaviest women had a higher risk with p53- and p16+ breast tumors. The odds ratios (OR) adjusted for age, menopausal status, smoking, and drinking revealed a significant gradient of increasing risk of breast cancer with increasing BMI in p53- and p16+ breast cancer. The adjusted ORs for the highest quintile of BMI was 8.51 with p53+ tumors and 14.2 with p53- tumors, and 55.6 with p16+ tumors and 3.72 with p16- tumors. p53 protein overexpression and the loss of p16 expression did not significantly correlate with nodal status, tumor size, estrogen or progesterone receptor status.
CONCLUSION
The study concluded that a strong association between p53-/p16+ tumors and BMI suggests the occurrence of p53-/p16+ tumors is related with obesity as compared to p53-/p16+ tumors.

Relation between Body Size and Body Mass Index and Breast Cancer by Menopausal Status in Korea
Se Hyun Ahn, Mi Kyung Kim, Suk Il Kim
J Korean Cancer Assoc. 1999;31(1):72-81.
AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
Because the breast cancer is one of the major causes of mortality among women, it is important to identify modifiable risk factors for this disease. Some reported that overweight/obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer, but the results are not consistent. Human breast cancer has different characteristics according to the status of menopause (premenopause and postmenopause). For the premenopaused women, the majority of the relevant prospective studies support an inverse relationship between body mass index and the development of breast cancer. In contrast, for the postmenopaused women, a positive relationship between body mass index and development of breast cancer has been reported in only half of prospective studies on this topic. This study was undertaken to determine the role of body size and body mass index by status of menopause in development of breast cancer in Korea using retrospective case-control study.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The breast cancer cases (n=683) and controls (n=501) were recruited from January 1993 to April 1998 at the Asan Medical Center. The authors collected information on demographic, reproductive and anthropometric characteristics by interviews. Quetelets index was calculated using height and weight. Multiple logistic regression was done to estimate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) by menopausal status, controlling age, age at first full-tenn pregnancy, age at menarche, number of parity, family history of breast cancer.
RESULTS
Overall, there was a moderate, but significant association between obesity and breast cancer. Among premenopausal women, in comparison with women whose weights were less than 50 kg, the ORs for the upper quintile group of weight was 1.71 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01~2.89). The heaviest premenopausal women had a higher risk (OR=1.16, 95% CI, 1.05~1.29, P=0.005). The adjusted OR for the highest quintile of BMI relative to the lowest was 2.02 (95% CI, 1.18~3.45). Higher body mass index was significantly associated with increased risk of premenopausal breast cancer (OR=1.08, 95% CI, 1.02~1.15, P=0.006). Among postmenopausal women, higher body mass index and weight were associated with increased risk of breast cancer. In comparison with women whose weights were less than 50 kg, the OR for the upper quintile group of weight was 2.08 (95% CI, 1.064.08). The adjusted OR for the highest quintile of BMI relative to the lowest was 2.02 (95% CI, 1.02~4.01).
CONCLUSION
Our findings suggest that overweight/obesity may play an important role in the incidence of premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer in Korea.

Expression of p53 and MHC Class I According to HPV Infection in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinomas
Chan Seung Hwang, Hoon Kim, Mi Kyung Kim
J Korean Cancer Assoc. 1998;30(1):1-11.
AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
We evaluated the HPV type 16, 18 infection and p53 expression and MHC class Iantigen expression, and analyzed he relationship between HPV infection and p53 expression and MHC class I expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Thirty-nine cases of laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas and ten cases of laryngeal nodules were analyzed for detection of HPV DNA by in situ hybridization and the detection of p53 and MHC class I antigen by immunohistochemical technique.
RESULTS
HPV DNA was detected in 10(26%), and p53 expression was detected in 19(49%) out of 39 cases in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas. HPV positive cases showed 50% of p53 expression whereas HPV negative cases showed 48% expression. MHC class I down-regulation (heterogenous and negative expression) in HPV positive lesions was higher than HPV negative lesions, but there was no statistically significance. The expression of MHC class I was related to cellular differentiation regardless of T-stage and nodal involvement.
CONCLUSION
There was no reiationship between HPV infection and p53 expression and MHC class I expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas. Also these results suggest that MHC class I expression can make it possible to presume indirectly the malignant potentiality of the tumor.

Kye Yong Song, Dae Young Kim, Hyung Chun Kim, Mi Kyung Kim, Young Ho Rha, Sang Chul Park
J Korean Cancer Assoc. 1990;22(3):395-410.
AbstractAbstract PDF
Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies were carried out on the preneoplastic nodule, to observe the morphological and immunohistochemical changes of the transformed preneo- plastic hepatacytes by immunohistochemical method using antibodies to the various marker enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase of placental form (GST-P), glutathione S-transferase of basic form (GST-L), Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) The results obtained were as follaws; l) The transformed preneoplastic hepatocytes could be detected easily by use af GST-P antibody especially in the clear cell nodule from the 2nd month and is significantly increased from the 12th month compar'ed with the 2nd month, while basophilic nodule was observed from the 10th month. 2) Immunohistochemical staining revealed strong positive reaction to GST-P and weakly positive to G6PDB, GST-L and focally poitive to GGT in clear cells, while weak or negative reaction to GST-P, G6PDH, GST-L and GGT in eosinophilic cells. and Basophilic cells showed negative reaction to GST-P, GST-P, GST-L, G6PDH and positive to GGT. 3) Electron microscopically, clear cells revealed abundant glycogen particles and well developed endoplasmic reticulum, while eosinophilic cell reveaied abundant mitochondria and vacuoles with a few glycogen, basophilic cells revealed abundant rER and ribosomes. Immunohistochemically, GST-P is abundantly distributed in the cytoplasm especially around the rER, vesicles and alsp in nucleus. 4) Therefore, glutathione S-transferase is a good marker for early detection of genetically transformed and preneoplastic hepatacytes especially clear cell while GGT is positive marker for basophilic cell. GST-P is abundantly present in the cytosol and around the rER and vesicle. The clearness of preneoplastic hepat.ocytes were thought as the result of marked increase of glycogen while basophilic cells were the result of marked incresed rER.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Transforming Growth Factor - β Isoforms ( TGF-β1 , TGF-β2 , TGF-β3 ) Expression in Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Jae Hyung Yoo, Weon Sub Park, Mi Kyung Kim, Tae Jin Lee, Sang Jun Lee
J Korean Cancer Assoc. 1996;28(6):1040-1050.
AbstractAbstract PDF
Immunohistochemical studies using polyclonal antibodies to transforming growth factor beta isoforms(TGF-¥a1, TGF-¥a2 & TGF-¥a3), a multifunctional regulatory proteins which hoave effects on normal and transformed cells, were performed on 66 cases of gastric adenocarcinomas in order to analyze the relationship between expression of these isoforms in gastric cancer cells, adjacent mucosa of the cancer and normal control gastric mucosa. In addition to determine the relationship between expression of TGF-¥a isoforms and various clinicopathological states, including tumor location, histologic types, regional lymph node metastasis and depth of invasion of tumors were carried out. The positive staining reactivity was detected within the cytoplasm and on the cell membrane. The rate of TGF-¥a isoforms expression in gastric adenocarcinomas were 47% in TGF-¥a1, 83% in TGF-¥a2, and 27% in TGF-3, respectively. The adjacent gastric mucosa from adenocarcinomas and normal control mucosa were 40 % in TGF-¥a1, 40% and 55% in TGF-¥a2, 20% and 33% in TGF-¥a3, respectively. Among the TGF-¥a isoforms, TGF-¥a2 was strongly associated with histologic differentiation and regional lymph node metastasis. No significant association was found between expression of TGF-¥a isoforms and tumor location, histologic types and T-stages. From these results, we can postulate that the altered expression of TGF-¥a isoforms, especially TGF-¥a2, play an important role in histogenesis and gastric cancer progression and regional lymph node metastasis.
