A Phase II Study of Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy with Capecitabine Plus Simvastatin in Patients with Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: Hyunji Jo, Seung Tae Kim, Jeeyun Lee, Se Hoon Park, Joon Oh Park, Young Suk Park, Ho Yeong Lim, Jeong Il Yu, Hee Chul Park, Doo Ho Choi, Yoonah Park, Yong Beom Cho, Jung Wook Huh, Seong Hyeon Yun, Hee Cheol Kim, Woo Yong Lee, Won Ki Kang; Cancer Res Treat. 2023;55(1):189-195. Published online June 8, 2022; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2021.1527

Purpose
The purpose of this phase II trial was to evaluate whether the addition of simvastatin, a synthetic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with capecitabine confers a clinical benefit to patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
Materials and Methods
Patients with LARC (defined by clinical stage T3/4 and/or lymph node positivity) received preoperative radiation (45-50.4 Gy in 25-28 daily fractions) with concomitant capecitabine (825 mg/m2 twice per day) and simvastatin (80 mg, daily). Curative surgery was planned 4-8 weeks after completion of the CRT regimen. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR). The secondary endpoints included sphincter-sparing surgery, R0 resection, disease-free survival, overall survival, the pattern of failure, and toxicity.
Results
Between October 2014 and July 2017, 61 patients were enrolled; 53 patients completed CRT regimen and underwent total mesorectal excision. The pCR rate was 18.9% (n=10) by per-protocol analysis. Sphincter-sparing surgery was performed in 51 patients (96.2%). R0 resection was achieved in 51 patients (96.2%). One patient experienced grade 3 liver enzyme elevation. No patient experienced additional toxicity caused by simvastatin.
Conclusion
The combination of 80 mg simvastatin with CRT and capecitabine did not improve pCR in patients with LARC, although it did not increase toxicity.

Carcinoembryonic Antigen Improves the Performance of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Prediction of Pathologic Response after Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation for Patients with Rectal Cancer: Gyu Sang Yoo, Hee Chul Park, Jeong Il Yu, Doo Ho Choi, Won Kyung Cho, Young Suk Park, Joon Oh Park, Ho Yeong Lim, Won Ki Kang, Woo Yong Lee, Hee Cheol Kim, Seong Hyeon Yun, Yong Beom Cho, Yoon Ah Park, Kyoung Doo Song, Seok-Hyung Kim, Sang Yun Ha; Cancer Res Treat. 2020;52(2):446-454. Published online September 25, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2019.261

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels in improving the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the prediction of pathologic response after the neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NCRT) for patients with rectal cancer.
Materials and Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 524 rectal cancer patients who underwent NCRT and total mesorectal excision between January 2009 and December 2014. The performances of MRI with or without CEA parameters (initial CEA and CEA dynamics) for prediction of pathologic tumor response grade (pTRG) were compared by receiver-operating characteristic analysis with DeLong’s method. Cox regression was used to identify the independent factors associated to pTRG and disease-free survival (DFS) after NCRT.
Results
The median follow-up was 64.0 months (range, 3.0 to 113.0 months). On multivariate analysis, poor tumor regression grade on MRI (mrTRG; p < 0.001), initial CEA (p < 0.001) and the mesorectal fascia involvement on MRI before NCRT (mrMFI; p=0.054) showed association with poor pTRG. The mrTRG plus CEA parameters showed significantly improved performances in the prediction of pTRG than mrTRG alone. All of mrTRG, mrMFI, and initial CEA were also identified as independent factors associated with DFS. The initial CEA further discriminated DFS in the subgroups with good mrTRG or that without mrMFI.
Conclusion
The CEA parameters significantly improved the performance of MRI in the prediction of pTRG after NCRT for patients with rectal cancer. The DFS was further discriminated by initial CEA level in the groups with favorable MRI parameters.

A Single Arm, Phase II Study of Simvastatin Plus XELOX and Bevacizumab as First-Line Chemotherapy in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients: Youjin Kim, Tae Won Kim, Sae Won Han, Joong Bae Ahn, Seung Tae Kim, Jeeyun Lee, Joon Oh Park, Young Suk Park, Ho Yeong Lim, Won Ki Kang; Cancer Res Treat. 2019;51(3):1128-1134. Published online November 21, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2018.379

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose
Simvastatin has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in preclinical studies via tumor cell senescence, apoptosis, and anti-angiogenesis. This phase II trial evaluated the efficacy and toxicity profile of conventional XELOX and bevacizumab chemotherapy plus simvastatin in metastatic colorectal cancer patients (MCRC).
Materials and Methods
Patients with MCRC received first-line XELOX in 3-week treatment cycles of intravenous oxaliplatin 130 mg/m² plus bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg (day 1), followed by oral capecitabine 1,000 mg/m² twice daily (day 1-14). Simvastatin 80 mg tablets were taken orally once daily every day during the period of chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were response rate, duration of response, overall survival (OS), time to progression, and toxicity.
Results
From January 2014 to April 2015, 60 patients were enrolled and 55 patients were evaluable for tumor response. The median follow-up duration was 30.1 months (range, 28.5 to 31.7 months). The median PFS was 10.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 9.6 to 11.1). The median OS of all patients was 19.0 months (95% CI, 11.9 to 26.0). The disease-control rate and overall response rate were 88.3% (95% CI, 74 to 96) and 58.3% (95% CI, 44 to 77), respectively, by intent-to-treat protocol analysis. There was one complete response and 34 partial responses. One patient experienced grade 3 creatine kinase elevation and liver enzyme elevation.
Conclusion
Based on the current study, the addition of 80 mg simvastatin to XELOX and bevacizumab showed comparable clinical efficacy in patients with MCRC as first-line chemotherapy and did not increase toxicity.

Comparison of the 7th and the 8th AJCC Staging System for Non-metastatic D2-Resected Lymph Node–Positive Gastric Cancer Treated with Different Adjuvant Protocols: Jeong Il Yu, Do Hoon Lim, Jeeyun Lee, Won Ki Kang, Se Hoon Park, Joon Oh Park, Young Suk Park, Ho Yeong Lim, Seung Tae Kim, Su Jin Lee, Sung Kim, Tae Sung Sohn, Jun Ho Lee, Ji Yeong An, Min Gew Choi, Jae Moon Bae, Heejin Yoo, Kyunga Kim; Cancer Res Treat. 2019;51(3):876-885. Published online October 1, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2018.401

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to compare prognostic differentiation performances of the 7th and the 8th edition of American Joint Commission on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for gastric cancer (GC) patients.
Materials and Methods
A total of 1,633 GC patients who underwent curative D2 resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy alone (CA) or concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) from 2004 to 2013 were included. Concordance index (c-index) was applied to compare the discriminatory ability.
Results
In the 8th edition, migration of stage was detected in 248 patients (15.2%). Among them, 121 patients were up-staged while 127 patients were down-staged. Overall, there was no statistically significant difference in the discriminatory ability between the 7th and 8th editions. The new edition of staging system, however, showed a trend of better prognostic performance not only in recurrence-free survival (c-index=0.734; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.706 to 0.762 in the 7th edition vs. c-index=0.740; 95% CI, 0.712 to 0.768 in the 8th edition; p=0.14), but also in overall survival (c-index=0.717; 95% CI, 0.688 to 0.745 in the 7th edition vs. c-index=0.722; 95% CI, 0.694 to 0.751 in the 8th edition; p=0.19), especially in stage III. This finding was repeated in the subgroup analysis regardless of adjuvant CA or CCRT.
Conclusion
Generally, the 8th edition of AJCC staging system had failed to show a superior discriminatory ability for curatively D2 resected GC patients than the 7th edition, although there was a trend of better prognostic performance of the new edition, regardless of adjuvant treatment method.

A Retrospective Analysis for Patients with HER2-Positive Gastric Cancer Who Were Treated with Trastuzumab-Based Chemotherapy: In the Perspectives of Ethnicity and Histology: Jun Ho Yi, Jung Hun Kang, In Gyu Hwang, Hee Kyung Ahn, Hyun Jin Baek, Soon Il Lee, Do Hyoung Lim, Young-Woong Won, Jun Ho Ji, Hyo Song Kim, Sun Young Rha, Sung Yong Oh, Kyung Eun Lee, Taekyu Lim, Chi Hoon Maeng, Moon Jin Kim, Seung Tae Kim, Jeeyun Lee, Joon Oh Park, Young Suk Park, Ho Yeong Lim, Won Ki Kang, Se Hoon Park; Cancer Res Treat. 2016;48(2):553-560. Published online August 10, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2015.155

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose
While the Trastuzumab for Gastric Cancer (ToGA) trial demonstrated the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab-based chemotherapy in HER2-positive metastatic gastric cancer, the overall survival (OS) benefit was not found in Asian and diffuse-type cancer patients. The aim of the study is to investigate predictive markers for trastuzumab-based chemotherapy.
Materials and Methods
Data of patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer treated with trastuzumab-based chemotherapy were analyzed retrospectively.
Results
A total of 168 Asian patients were included. The median age was 60 years (range, 27 to 85 years) and the male:female ratio was 118 (70.2%):50 (29.8%). Fourteen (8.3%), 63 (37.5%), 75 (44.6%), and 11 (6.5%) patients had well, moderately, poorly-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma, respectively. With 14 complete responses and 73 partial responses, the response rate was 50.6%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.7 to 11.7), and the median OS was 18.5 months (95% CI, 16.4 to 50.6). Next, we investigated the effect of poorly-differentiated histology (PDH, poorly-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma+signet ring cell carcinoma) on clinical outcomes. The median PFS (8.9 months vs. 11.5 months, p=0.16) was slightly inferior in PDH patients, and the median OS was significantly shorter in PDH patients (14.6 months vs. 19.0 months, p=0.025).
Conclusion
While subset analysis of the ToGA trial demonstrated that trastuzumab-based chemotherapy may not be beneficial for Asians and patients with PDH, our data may suggest that even in Asian patients and patients with PDH, trastuzumab-based chemotherapy could be associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer.

The Role of Plasma Chromogranin A as Assessment of Treatment Response in Non-functioning Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Moonjin Kim, Sujin Lee, Jeeyun Lee, Se Hoon Park, Joon Oh Park, Young Suk Park, Won Ki Kang, Seung Tae Kim; Cancer Res Treat. 2016;48(1):153-161. Published online March 7, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2014.183

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose
Chromogranin A (CgA) has been considered to be valuable not only in the diagnosis but also in monitoring the disease response to treatment. However, only a few studies have been published on this issue. We purposed to evaluate whether biochemical response using plasma CgA level is reliable in concordance with the clinical response of grade 1-3 nonfunctiong gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). Materials and Methods Between March 2011 and September 2013, a total of 27 cases in 18 patients were analysed, clinically and radiologically while serial CgA tests were also conducted during treatment. Tumor responses were defined by both Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria ver. 1.1 and biochemical criteria based on the CgA level.
Results
Among the 27 cases analysed, no difference in the basal CgA level was observed with regard to gender, primary tumor site, tumor grade (World Health Organization classification), liver metastasis, number of metastatic site, and line of chemotherapy. The overall response rate (RR) by RECIST criteria ver. 1.1 was six out of the 27 cases (22.2%) and eight out of the 27 cases (29.6%) for biochemical RR. The overall concordance rates of the response based on RECIST and biochemical criteria were 74%. In grades 1 and 2 GEP-NETs (n=17), the concordance rate of the disease control was 94.1%. There was a significant difference for progression- free survival (PFS) between responders and non-responder in accordance to biochemical criteria (35.73 months vs. 5.93 months, p=0.05). Conclusion This study revealed that changes of the plasma CgA levels were associated with tumour response. Additionally, biochemical response based on serial CgA may be a predictive marker for PFS in GEP-NETs.

Changes in the Mean Corpuscular Volume after Capecitabine Treatment Are Associated with Clinical Response and Survival in Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancer: Hyun Ae Jung, Hyun-Jun Kim, Chi Hoon Maeng, Se Hoon Park, Jeeyun Lee, Joon Oh Park, Young Suk Park, Ho Yeong Lim, Won Ki Kang; Cancer Res Treat. 2015;47(1):72-77. Published online August 21, 2014; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2013.172

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose
Capecitabine is known to increase mean corpuscular volume (MCV). To define the incidence of capecitabine-induced macrocytosis and its association with chemotherapy outcomes, we investigated data of 89 patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) who were enrolled in a randomized chemotherapy trial involving capecitabine. Materials and Methods Chemotherapy-naïve AGC patients were treated with capecitabine (1,000 mg/m2/day on days 1-14) plus cisplatin (75 mg/m2 on day 1), with or without epirubicin (50 mg/m2 on day 1). Complete blood counts including MCV were measured at baseline and on day 1 of each 3-week chemotherapy course. Macrocytosis was defined as a MCV increase > 10 fL from baseline. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used for analysis of the impact of clinical and MCV values on chemotherapy outcomes. Results At baseline, the mean MCV was 88.2 fL (normal range, 80 to 100 fL). During chemotherapy, MCV increased in a dose-dependent manner with a mean increase of 11.3 fL. MCV elevation after capecitabine treatment in 74 patients (90%) and 44 patients (42%) developed macrocytosis. Results of multivariate analysis showed that development of macrocytosis was independent of baseline hemoglobin level, liver metastasis, performance status, or liver function. The number of chemotherapy cycles showed strong association with development of macrocytosis and hematologic adverse events. In addition, a significant association was observed between macrocytosis and clinical response or survival. Conclusion Macrocytosis developed with more frequent and prolonged use of capecitabine. It is possible that association with treatment outcomes warrants further investigation.

PURPOSE
Fluoropyrimidine-based combination chemotherapy, in combination with either oxaliplatin or irinotecan, has demonstrated efficacy and tolerability in treatment of advanced colorectal cancer (ACC).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between January 2006 and December 2007, a total of 478 ACC patients were treated with combination chemotherapy in first-line settings. Combination therapies included: 5-fluorouracil, folinic acid plus oxaliplatin (FOLFOX, n=172), 5-fluorouracil, folinic acid plus irinotecan (FOLFIRI, n=95), capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (XELOX, n=155), and capecitabine plus irinotecan (XELIRI, n=56). FOLFOX and FOLFIRI were repeated every 2 weeks, whereas XELOX and XELIRI were repeated every 3 weeks until occurrence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or until a patient chose to discontinue treatment.
RESULTS
The median age was 58 years (range, 19 to 84 years) and the median chemotherapy durations for FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, XELOX, and XELIRI were 4.9, 4.5, 5.7, and 5.4 months, respectively. Combination chemotherapy regimens were generally well tolerated. The estimated median progression-free-survival (PFS) for all patients was 6.8 months (95% confidence interval, 6.3 to 7.3 months). No statistically significant difference in PFS was found among regimens used as first-line chemotherapy. Sixty percent (n=290) of patients received second or further lines of therapy after failure.
CONCLUSION
Fluoropyrimidine-based combination chemotherapy regimens appear to be equally active and tolerable as first-line therapy for ACC.

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose

Oxaliplatin-induced chronic peripheral neurotoxicity (OXCPN) manifests as a loss of sensation and dysesthesia in the distal extremities, which may impair daily activities and increase in incidence with the amount of oxaliplatin delivered. The variation in the reported incidence and severity of OXCPN may be a consequence of differences in the baseline characteristics of patients.

Materials and Methods

This was a prospective study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00977717) in which OXCPN was recorded for all consecutive colon cancer patients treated at Samsung Medical Center (Seoul, Korea) with oxaliplatin-based combination chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was the incidence of severe OXCPN (grade 2 lasting for >7 days, or grade 3). The association of severe OXCPN and pretreatment parameters was evaluated using a multivariate regression model.

Results

Between Jan 2008 and Feb 2010, 100 patients treated with adjuvant folinic acid/fluorouracil plus oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) and 266 patients treated with capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (XELOX) or FOLFOX for advanced disease were registered into our study. The median cumulative dose of oxaliplatin was 796 mg/m² (range, 85 to 1,583 mg/m²). Severe OXCPN was observed in 126 (34%) patients. Overall, 43 patients discontinued chemotherapy due to toxicity: 23 without severe OXCPN and 20 with severe OXCPN. In univariate analysis, severe OXCPN was frequently observed in patients with age ≥55 years (p<0.01), stage II or III (p<0.01), adjuvant setting (p=0.01), FOLFOX (p<0.01), performance status of 0 (p=0.02), and those with no prior chemotherapy (p<0.01). In a multivariate regression model, the number of chemotherapy cycles and the cumulative oxaliplatin dose were not associated with the development of severe OXCPN.

Conclusion

We failed to find a significant association between patient characteristics at baseline and the development of severe OXCPN after oxaliplatin-based combination chemotherapy. Pharmacogenomic profiling using genome-wide association study in these patients is underway.

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose

The aim of this study was to determine whether the ERCC1 expression is effective to predict the clinical outcomes of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) and who were treated with cisplatin-based first-line chemotherapy.

Materials and Methods

A total of 89 measurable AGC patients received cisplatin and capecitabine, with or without epirubicin, as a part of a randomized phase II study. Patients were included for the current molecular analysis if they had received two or more cycles of chemotherapy, their objective tumor responses were measured and if their paraffin-embedded tumor samples were available. The ERCC1 expression was examined by performing immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, and the patients were divided into two groups (positive or negative) according to the presence of IHC staining of the tumor cell nuclei.

Results

Of the 32 eligible patients, 21 patients (66%) had tumor with a positive expression of ERCC1 and the remaining 11 patients had tumor with a negative ERCC1-expression. The ERCC1-negative patients achieved a higher response rate than that of the ERCC1-positive patients (44% vs. 28%, respectively), although the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.42). The median survival time for the all patients was 14.6 months (95% CI: 13.6 to 15.6 months). The one-year survival rate was similar for the ERCC1-negative patients (61%) and the ERCC1-positive patients (70%).

Conclusion

In the current study, the tumor ERCC1 expression by IHC staining could not predict the clinical response or survival of AGC patients who were treated with cisplatin-based first-line chemotherapy. The ERCC1 protein expression does not appear to be a useful tool for the selection of tailored chemotherapy for these patients.

Characterization of RhoA-mediated Chemoresistance in Gastric Cancer Cells: Won Ki Kang, Inkyoung Lee, Chaehwa Park; Cancer Res Treat. 2005;37(4):251-256. Published online August 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2005.37.4.251

Purpose

RhoA is a critical transducer of extracellular signals, which leads to organization of actin cytoskeleton, motility, adhesion and gene regulation. The present study aimed to explore whether RhoA influences the susceptibility of gastric cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs.

Materials and Methods

SNU638 cells were transfected with a mock vector (pcDNA3.1), RhoA (pcDNA/RhoA), or constitutively active RhoA (pcDNA/caRhoA). MTT assay and Western blot analysis were performed to study the growth response to several chemotherapeutic drugs in the gastric cancer cell line, SNU638, with different RhoA levels.

Results

RhoA significantly enhanced the resistance to lovastatin, 5-FU, taxol and vincristine, but did not affect the sensitivity to cisplatin or etoposide in SNU638. In the Western blot analysis, RhoA decreased the PARP cleavage, which was accompanied by a concurrent reductionin cell death. The gene expression profile after a cDNA microarray analysis demonstrated that RhoA was associated with the differential expression of 19 genes, including those involved in anti-oxidant defense, glucose metabolism, anti-apoptosis and protein turnover.

Conclusion

Gastric cancer cells with a high expression of RhoA could be resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs, such as taxol or vincristine, implying that treatment strategies aimed at inactivation of RhoA might be promising for improving the efficacy of these chemotherapeutic drugs.

Treatment Outcome of Limited Stage Hodgkin's Disease: Jung Hun Kang, Yong Chan Ahn, Won Seog Kim, Won Ki Kang; Cancer Res Treat. 2005;37(1):31-36. Published online February 28, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2005.37.1.31

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub: Purpose
The 10-year overall survival rate following conventional treatments for patients with limited-stage Hodgkin's disease (HD) exceeds 90%. However, the clinical features and treatment outcome of HD in Korea have not been extensively characterized due to its low incidence. In this study, we attempted to analyze the treatment outcome of different modalities in limited stage HD patients.
Materials and Methods
Twenty one Hodgkin's disease patients, referred to the Samsung Medical Center between January 1997 and December 2003, were enrolled in this study. Limited stage Hodgkin's disease was subdivided into low and high risk groups. All evaluable patients received treatment.
Results
There were 13 and 8 patients in the low and high risk groups, respectively. Eighteen patients (86%) obtained complete response (CR) and 3 patients (14%) achieved an undetermined complete response (CRu). Fourteen (67%), 4 (19%) and 3 (14%) cases received combination chemotherapy, radiotherapy alone and chemotherapy alone, respectively. Four cases relapsed and 2 obtained a second CR. The 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates were 90 and 72%, respectively, for all patients. The median follow-up duration was 31 months. There was no difference in disease free survival (DFS) between the low and high risk groups. Although 12 cases had neutropenia greater than grade III, none experienced neutropenic fever.
Conclusion
The treatment outcome of limited-stage HD was excellent, regardless to the initial treatment modality.

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

The association between a multiple myeloma and a secondary solid tumor is not well established. Some reports showed an increased risk of secondary solid neoplasms in multiple myeloma patients, but others have not. Three cases of the synchronous occurrence of multiple myelomas and solid tumors, namely, a small cell carcinoma of the lung, an adenocarcinoma of the colon and a squamous carcinoma of the pyriform sinus were experienced at our hospital. Therefore, herein is reported the clinical courses and treatment results. The stage of multiple myeloma was Durie-Salmon stage I in all of three cases; therefore, the solid tumors were treated as a primary target because the prognosis of early stage multiple myeloma is generally better than that of advanced solid tumor, while a smoldering or stage I myeloma do not need primary therapy until progression of the multiple myeloma. Two patients died of their solid tumors, but one patient is alive.

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Herein, a case of solitary, unilateral renal metastasis in a patient with curatively resected thoracic esophageal carcinoma, who achieved a pathological complete remission after neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy, is reported. The kidney is the 4^th or 5^th most common visceral metastasis site of a primary esophageal carcinoma. More than 50% of renal metastases typically show bilateral involvement. Solitary, unilateral renal metastasis is extremely rare. Renal metastases from a primary esophageal carcinoma are usually latent and its diagnosis is very unusual in a live patient. The solitary renal metastasis in this case was not accompanied by metastases to other sites. The value of a nephrectomy in solitary renal metastasis of esophageal cancer is not known due to the rarity of such cases. A nephrectomy could be justified in limited situations, such as with uncertainty of histological diagnosis, severe life-threatening hematuria, which cannot be controlled by embolization, or solitary renal metastasis with a long disease-free interval.

Abstract PDF

Metastasis of breast cancer to the stomach is relatively uncommon and typically occurs in patients with disseminated diseases. This may cause difficulty in differentiating it from primary gastric carcinoma. The correct diagnosis of the primary source is important, since the treatment and prognosis of metastatic breast cancer is quite different from those of metastatic gastric cancer. Immunohistochemical staining with GCDFP-15 (gross cystic disease fluid protein-15) can be used to differentiate primary gastric carcinoma and gastric metastasis from breast cancer. We report two cases of gastric metastasis of breast cancer by describing their clinical course, illustrating the histologic findings, and showing the results of immunohistochemical staining with GCDFP-15.

Combined Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy for Primary CNS Lymphoma: Jeong Eun Lee, Dae Yong Kim, Yong Chan Ahn, Do Hoon Lim, Seung Jae Huh, Seong Soo Shin, Won Seok Kim, Won Ki Kang, Do Hyun Nam, Jung Il Lee, Jong Hyun Kim; Cancer Res Treat. 2001;33(5):398-403. Published online October 31, 2001; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2001.33.5.398

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
This study was performed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT) in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From January 1995 to August 1999, 21 patients with a diagnosis of PCNSL were treated with combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Their median age was 47 years with range of 19 to 78 years. Twelve patients were male and nine patients were female. All patients were immunocompetent and they had no evidence of systemic lymphoma. All patients underwent placement of an Ommaya reservoir and recieved a combination regimen using pre-RT systemic and intra-Ommaya methotrexate (MTX), 40 Gy whole-brain RT with a 14.4 Gy boost, and 2 courses of post-RT high-dose cytarabine. The median follow-up period of all patients and survived patients were 22 months and 36 months, respectively.
RESULTS
The median overall survival duration was 21 months and the overall two- and four-year survival rates were 51% and 43%, respectively. Complete response (CR), partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease were achieved in 12, 3, 1, and 5 patients, respectively. All nine patients without CR expired within 1-31 months (median 6 months). Two patients among the patients with CR developed recurrence after 13 and 14 months, respectively. The location of recurrent disease was within the port of radiation boost. Survival was influenced by age, performance status, and CR. There was one episode of MTX neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity,respectively.
CONCLUSION
Combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy was an effective treatment for PCNSL, and was associated with a minimum toxicity. However, we must pay attention to the recurrence and late toxicity, particularly within two years following treatment.

A Phase II Trial of UFT-E and Oral Leucovorin in Advanced Colorectal Cancer: Won Sup Lee, Keun Seok Lee, Ki Hyun Kim, Baek Yeol Ryoo, Won Seog Kim, Won Ki Kang, Yoon Koo Kang, Dae Seog Heo, Yung Jue Bang, Noe Kyeong Kim; Cancer Res Treat. 2001;33(3):225-228. Published online June 30, 2001; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2001.33.3.225

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To determine the efficacy and toxicity of UFT-E plus oral calcium leucovorin in the treatment of patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Forty-three patients with advanced, bidimensionally measurable colorectal adenocarcinoma were enrolled in the trial. No patients had received prior palliative chemotherapy. The patients that had received previous adjuvant chemotherapy were enrolled when more than 6 months had elapsed after the completion of adjuvant therapy. Patients were treated with 300 mg/m2/day of UFT-E (tegafur-based) plus 90 mg/day of leucovorin administered orally in three divided daily doses, every 8 hours for 28 days followed by a 7-day rest period. Response was evaluated after two or three courses of therapy.
RESULTS
Thirty-six of forty-three patients were evaluable for response; seven dropped out due to infection, toxicity and patients' refusal. Ten patients had partial responses and one patient complete response (response rate, 31%; 95% confidence interval, 16~46%). The median response duration for the UFT-E plus leucovorin regimen was 28 weeks. Grade III toxicity was seen in one case, with diarrhea.
CONCLUSION
This oral regimen proved effective and well tolerated. This schema also avoided inconveniences, such as hospitalization and the use of infusion pumps, which are associated with 5-FU infusion regimens. The regimen used showed minimal toxicity, especially in the upper digestive tract, with good patient compliance.

The Effectiveness and Safety of DA-3030 ( rhG-CSF ) for Chemotherapy - induced Neutropenia: A Randomized Controlled Trial: Dae Ho Lee, Cheolwon Suh, Keunchil Park, Tae Won Kim, Jung Gyun Kim, Won Seog Kim, Won Ki Kang, Dae Seog Heo, Yung Jue Bang, Noe Kyeong Kim; J Korean Cancer Assoc. 1999;31(5):995-1002.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
We investigated the effectiveness and safety of DA-3030 for prophylatic use in patients receiving chemotherapy for malignant disease.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Seventy cancer patients were randomized to receive chemotherapy alone (36 patients) or with DA-3030 administered (34 patients) after stratified block randomization according to chemotherapeutic regimen. DA-3030 was subcutaneously administered at the dose of 100 pg/m/day for 10 days from 24 hours after the completion of chemotherapy.
RESULTS
Of the 70 enrolled patients, 62 patients were evaluable. The neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <1,000/mm) occurred in 9 of 32 (28.1%) of the DA-3030 group and 21 of 30 (90.0%) of the control group, giving relative risk for control group of 0.154 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.05 to 0.45; p-0.0001). Severe neutropenia (ANC 500/mm') occurred in 4 of 32 (12.5%) of the DA-3030 group and in 20 of 30 (66.7%) of the control group (relative risk for control group of 0.316 [95% CI, 0,18 to 0.55]; p=0.0001). The mean duration of neutropenic period (+/-standard error) was 1.13+/-0.34 days in the DA-3030 group and 6.73+/-0.69 days in the control group respectively, and was significantly shorter in the DA-3030 group (p<0.0001). And, there was higher nadir ANC in the OA-3030 group than that in the control group (p=0.0001); the mean nadir ANC was 2,547+/- 343/mm and 442+/-120/mm, respectively. The DA-3030 group had significantly higher incidence of myalgia in comparison to the control group (43.8% compared with 3.3%; p=0.001). However, it was tolerable and was easily managed by conservative therapy CONCLUSION: The use of DA-3030 was effective in preventing chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.

Protracted Venous Infusion of 5-Fluorouracil as a Chemotherapy in Colorectal Cancer: Hyun Sik Jeong, Won Seog Kim, Sook In Jung, Jong Tae Lee, Ki Hyun Kim, Sung Soo Yoon, Won Ki Kang, Hong Ghi Lee, Ken Chil Park, Poong Lyul Rhee, Hae Jun Kim, Ho Kyun Chun, Chan Hyung Park; J Korean Cancer Assoc. 1999;31(1):120-125.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
The administration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by protracted intravenous infusion is an alternative to the bolus administration of 5-FU in patients with advanced colorectal cancers. This study was performed to evaluate the response rate and toxicities of protracted infusion of 5-FU in patients with advanced or recurrent colorectal cancers who had been treated with 5-FU by bolus or shortterm continuous administration.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between March 1995 and June 1997, twenty-eight patients with advanced colorectal cancer previously exposed to 5-FU based chemotherapy were enrolled in this triaL Patients received 5-FU (250 mg/m(2)/day days 1-28) or 5-FU plus leucovorin (5-FU; 200 mg/m/day days 1-28, leucovorin; 20 mg/m IV days 1, 8, 15, 21) by ambulatory infusion pump. Treatment course was repeated every 42 days until disease progression.
RESULT
Twenty-eight patients entered. All 28 patients were assessable for response and toxicity. Five (19%) patients achieved a partial response, with the median response duration of 15 weeks (range; 7-22 weeks), and median survival time of entire patients was 54 weeks (range 7-151+ weeks). Gastrointestinal toxicity, specifically stomatitis was a major toxicity (grade 2, 12%; grade 3, 4%), but hand-foot syndrome was less frequent (5%) compared with other trials with protracted infusion of 5-FU reported in the literature. Hematologic toxicity was generally of low grade.
CONCLUSION
Prolonged intravenous infusion of 5-FU can produce a response rate of 19% with low toxicity among patients refractory to bolus or short-term infusion of S-FU.

Prolonged Oral Etoposide in Combination with Intravenous Cisplatin for Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Ki Hyun Kim, Sung Yong Oh, Hun Sik Jeong, Jong Tae Lee, Won Seng Kim, Ho Joong Kim, Sung Soo Yoon, Won Ki Kang, Hong Ghi Lee, Chong Heon Lee, Chan Hyung Park, Keun Chil Park; J Korean Cancer Assoc. 1999;31(1):105-111.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
Etoposide is a schedule-dependent agent and has a synergistic activity with cisplatin. We evaluated the response rate and the toxicity of prolonged oral etoposide in combination with intravenous cisplatin for the previously untreated patients with unresectable stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between April 1996 and February 1998, 71 patients were enrolled. The median age was 61 years (range, 36~75) and male: female ratio was 54: 17. Fourteen patients had stage IIIB disease and 57 had stage IV. Sixty-two patients had ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, and 9 had 2. Forty-eight patients had adenocarcinoma, 19 had squamous cell carcinoma and 4 had poorly differentiated NSCLC. Treatment consists of daily oral etoposide 50 mg/m in 2 divided doses for 21 days and intravenous cisplatin 60 mg/m on day 1. The treatment was repeated every 28 days.
RESULTS
Sixty-four of 71 patients were evaluable. Complete response and partial response were observed in 1 and 21 patients, respectively. The overall response rate was 34.4% (95% confidence interval 23.9~46.6%) and the median response duration was 30 weeks (range 13-53 weeks). The median survival of 71 patients was 56 weeks (range 3. 96+ weeks). There was a significantly longer survival in responders (p=0.035). Toxicities were evaluated by WHO criteria. Hematologic toxicities of grade 3, 4 were as follows: anemia 12.3%, leukopenia 8.7%, neutropenia 19.2%, thrombocytopenia 1.8%. Non-hematologic toxicities of grade 3, 4 were as follows: nausea and vomiting 5.9%, stomatitis 14.7%, diarrhea 1.5%. Early treatment-related death occurred in 2 patients (2.8%) due to sepsis.
CONCLUSION
Combination chemotherapy with prolonged oral etoposide and intravenous cisplatin is easy to administer and has moderate activity with acceptable toxicities for NSCLC.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To evaluate the response rate and toxicity of combination chemotherapy including 5-fluorouracil (F), leucovorin (L), ifosfamide (I) and cisplatin (P) for the previously untreated patients with unresectable stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer.
MATERIALS AND METHOD
The doses of FLIP were 5-fluorouracil 800 mg/m2 CI days 1-5, leucovorin 20 mg/m2 IV days 1-5, ifosfamide 1000 mg/m2 CI days 1-3, cisplatin 100 mg/m2 IV day 1 respectively. Cycles were repeated every 3 weeks until disease progression. Seventy-three previously untreated patients were enrolled. Age ranged from 30 to 73 (median 56 years); 43 were male, 30 female. Fifty-three patients had performance status (ECOG) 0-1 and 19 performance status 2. Twenty-two patients had stage IIIB and 51 stage IV. Follow-up ranged from 7+ to 160weeks (median 57 weeks).
RESULTS
The overall response rate was 46.7% for 62 evaluable patients. (CR 1 patient, PR 28 patients) Median response duration was 24 weeks (range 1+ to 36+ weeks). Toxicity > Grade II (WHO) included: granulocytopenia 19.8%, anemia 13.5%, nausea and vomiting 31.5% stomatitis 46.5%, neuropathy 24.6%.
CONCLUSION
FLIP chemotherapy was comparable to other combination chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer with moderate toxicities.
