Abstract PDF PubReader ePub: Purpose
Clinical outcomes of surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy have not been investigated for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC), despite well-established outcomes in borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC). This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with LAPC who underwent curative resection following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Materials and Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma between January 2017 and December 2020.
Results
Among 1,358 patients, 260 underwent surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Among 356 LAPC patients, 98 (27.5%) and 147 (35.1%) of 418 BRPC patients underwent surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Compared to resectable pancreatic cancer (resectable PC) with upfront surgery, both LAPC and BRPC exhibited higher rates of venous resection (28.6% vs. 49.0% vs. 4.0%), arterial resection (30.6% vs. 6.8% vs. 0.5%) and greater estimated blood loss (260.5 vs. 213.1 vs. 70.4 mL). However, hospital stay, readmission rates, and postoperative pancreatic fistula rates (grade B or C) did not differ significantly between LAPC, BRPC, and resectable PC. Overall and relapse-free survival did not differ significantly between LAPC and BRPC patients. The median overall survival was 37.3 months for LAPC and 37.0 months for BRPC. The median relapse-free survival was 22.7 months for LAPC and 26.0 months for BRPC.
Conclusion
Overall survival time and postoperative complications in LAPC patients who underwent curative resection following neoadjuvant chemotherapy showed similar results to those of BRPC patients. Further research is needed to identify specific sub-populations of LAPC patients who benefit most from conversion surgery and to minimize postoperative complications.

Analysis of Plasma Circulating Tumor DNA in Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer Treated with Neoadjuvant Modified FOLFIRINOX: Clinical Relevance of DNA Damage Repair Gene Alteration Detection: Dong-Hoon Lim, Hyunseok Yoon, Kyu-pyo Kim, Baek-Yeol Ryoo, Sang Soo Lee, Do Hyun Park, Tae Jun Song, Dae Wook Hwang, Jae Hoon Lee, Ki Byung Song, Song Cheol Kim, Seung-Mo Hong, Jaewon Hyung, Changhoon Yoo; Cancer Res Treat. 2023;55(4):1313-1320. Published online May 4, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2023.452

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub

Purpose
There are no reliable biomarkers to guide treatment for patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) in the neoadjuvant setting. We used plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing to search biomarkers for patients with BRPC receiving neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX in our phase 2 clinical trial (NCT02749136).
Materials and Methods
Among the 44 patients enrolled in the trial, patients with plasma ctDNA sequencing at baseline or post-operation were included in this analysis. Plasma cell-free DNA isolation and sequencing were performed using the Guardant 360 assay. Detection of genomic alterations, including DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, were examined for correlations with survival.
Results
Among the 44 patients, 28 patients had ctDNA sequencing data qualified for the analysis and were included in this study. Among the 25 patients with baseline plasma ctDNA data, 10 patients (40%) had alterations of DDR genes detected at baseline, inclu-ding ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2 and MLH1, and showed significantly better progression-free survival than those without such DDR gene alterations detected (median, 26.6 vs. 13.5 months; log-rank p=0.004). Patients with somatic KRAS mutations detected at baseline (n=6) had significantly worse overall survival (median, 8.5 months vs. not applicable; log-rank p=0.003) than those without. Among 13 patients with post-operative plasma ctDNA data, eight patients (61.5%) had detectable somatic alterations.
Conclusion
Detection of DDR gene mutations from plasma ctDNA at baseline was associated with better survival outcomes of pati-ents with borderline resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treated with neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX and may be a prognostic biomarker.

Published online March 30, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2023.271

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub: Purpose
This phase II, open-label, multicenter study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of a rituximab intensification for the 1st cycle with every 21-day of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (R-CHOP-21) among patients with previously untreated advanced-stage or bulky diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Materials and Methods
Ninety-two patients with stage III/IV or bulky DLBCL from 21 institutions were administered 8 cycles of R-CHOP-21 with an additional one dose of rituximab intensification on day 0 of the 1st cycle (RR-CHOP). The primary endpoint was a complete response (CR) rate after 3 cycles of chemotherapy.
Results
Among the 92 DLBCL patients assessed herein, the response rate after 3 cycles of chemotherapy was 88.0% (38.0% CR+50.0% partial response [PR]). After the completion of 8 cycles of chemotherapy, the overall response rate was observed for 68.4% (58.7% CR+9.8% PR). The 3-year progression-free survival rate was 64.0%, and the 3-year overall survival rate was 70.4%. Febrile neutropenia was one of the most frequent grade 3 adverse events (40.0%) and 5 treatment-related deaths occurred. Compared with the clinical outcomes of patients who received R-CHOP chemotherapy as a historical control, the interim CR rate was higher in male patients with RR-CHOP (20.5% vs. 48.8%, p=0.016).
Conclusion
Rituximab intensification on days 0 to the 1st cycle of the standard 8 cycles R-CHOP-21 for advanced DLBCL yielded favorable response rates after the 3 cycles of chemotherapy and acceptable toxicities, especially for male patients. ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01054781.

Survival Benefit of Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Who Underwent Surgery Following Neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX: So Heun Lee, Dae Wook Hwang, Changhoon Yoo, Kyu-pyo Kim, Sora Kang, Jae Ho Jeong, Dongwook Oh, Tae Jun Song, Sang Soo Lee, Do Hyun Park, Dong Wan Seo, Jin-hong Park, Ki Byung Song, Jae Hoon Lee, Woohyung Lee, Yejong Park, Bong Jun Kwak, Heung-Moon Chang, Baek-Yeol Ryoo, Song Cheol Kim; Cancer Res Treat. 2023;55(3):956-968. Published online February 27, 2023; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2022.409

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub

Purpose
The benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy following curative-intent surgery in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients who had received neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX is unclear. This study aimed to assess the survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy in this patient population.
Materials and Methods
This retrospective study included 218 patients with localized non-metastatic PDAC who received neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX and underwent curative-intent surgery (R0 or R1) between January 2017 and December 2020. The association of adjuvant chemotherapy with disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was evaluated in overall patients and in the propensity score matched (PSM) cohort. Subgroup analysis was conducted according to the pathology-proven lymph node status.
Results
Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 149 patients (68.3%). In the overall cohort, the adjuvant chemotherapy group had significantly improved DFS and OS compared to the observation group (DFS: median, 13.8 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 11.0 to 19.1] vs. 8.2 months [95% CI, 6.5 to 12.0]; p < 0.001; and OS: median, 38.0 months [95% CI, 32.2 to not assessable] vs. 25.7 months [95% CI, 18.3 to not assessable]; p=0.005). In the PSM cohort of 57 matched pairs of patients, DFS and OS were better in the adjuvant chemotherapy group than in the observation group (p < 0.001 and p=0.038, respectively). In the multivariate analysis, adjuvant chemotherapy was a significant favorable prognostic factor (vs. observation; DFS: hazard ratio [HR], 0.51 [95% CI, 0.36 to 0.71; p < 0.001]; OS: HR, 0.45 [95% CI, 0.29 to 0.71; p < 0.001]).
Conclusion
Among PDAC patients who underwent surgery following neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX, adjuvant chemotherapy may be associated with improved survival. Randomized studies should be conducted to validate this finding.

Busulfan, Melphalan, and Etoposide (BuME) Showed an Equivalent Effect to Busulfan, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide (BuCE) as Conditioning Therapy for Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients with Relapsed or High-Risk Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: A Multicenter Randomized Phase II Study bythe Consortium for Improving Survival of Lymphoma (CISL): Kyoung Ha Kim, Jae Hoon Lee, Mark Lee, Hoon-Gu Kim, Young Rok Do, Yong Park, Sung Yong Oh, Ho-Jin Shin, Won Seog Kim, Seong Kyu Park, Jee Hyun Kong, Moo-Rim Park, Deok-Hwan Yang, Jae-Yong Kwak, Hye Jin Kang, Yeung-Chul Mun, Jong-Ho Won; Cancer Res Treat. 2023;55(1):304-313. Published online March 30, 2022; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2022.004

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose
High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard management for relapsed or high-risk non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). We reported the busulfan, melphalan, and etoposide (BuME) conditioning regimen was effective in patients with relapsed or high-risk NHL. Moreover, the busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide (BuCE) conditioning regimen has been used widely in ASCT for NHL. Therefore, based on these encouraging results, this randomized phase II multicenter trial compared the outcomes of BuME and BuCE as conditioning therapies for ASCT in patients with NHL.
Materials and Methods
Patients were randomly assigned to receive either BuME (n=36) or BuCE (n=39). The BuME regimen was comprised of busulfan (3.2 mg/kg/day, intravenously) administered on days –7, –6, and –5, etoposide (400 mg/m² intravenously) on days –5 and –4, and melphalan (50 mg/m2/day intravenously) on days –3 and –2. The BuCE regimen was comprised of busulfan (3.2 mg/kg/day intravenously) on days –7, –6, and –5, etoposide (400 mg/m²/day intravenously) on days –5 and –4, and cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg/day intravenously) on days –3 and –2. The primary endpoint was 2-year progression-free survival (PFS).
Results
Seventy-five patients were enrolled. Eleven patients (30.5%) in the BuME group and 13 patients (33.3%) in the BuCE group had disease progression or died. The 2-year PFS rate was 65.4% in the BuME group and 60.6% in the BuCE group (p=0.746). There were no non-relapse mortalities within 100 days after transplantation.
Conclusion
There were no significant differences in PFS between the two groups. Therefore, busulfan-based conditioning regimens, BuME and BuCE, may be important treatment substitutes for the BCNU-containing regimens.

Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Resected Ampulla of Vater Carcinoma: Retrospective Analysis of 646 Patients: Jwa Hoon Kim, Jae Ho Jeong, Baek-Yeol Ryoo, Kyu-pyo Kim, Heung-Moon Chang, Dongwook Oh, Tae Jun Song, Sang Soo Lee, Dong Wan Seo, Sung Koo Lee, Myung-Hwan Kim, Yejong Park, Jae Woo Kwon, Dae Wook Hwang, Jae Hoon Lee, Woohyung Lee, Song Cheol Kim, Changhoon Yoo, Ki Byung Song; Cancer Res Treat. 2021;53(2):424-435. Published online November 9, 2020; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2020.953

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub

Purpose
This study evaluated the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in patients with resected ampulla of Vater (AoV) carcinoma.
Materials and Methods
Data from 646 patients who underwent surgical resection at Asan Medical Center between 2000 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results
The median age of the patients was 62 years, and 54.2% were male. Patients were classified into AC group (n=165, 25.5%) and no AC group (n=481, 74.5%). With a median follow-up duration of 88 months, in patients with stage I, II, III, median recurrence-free survival (RFS) was not reached, 44 months, and 15 months, respectively, and the median overall survival (OS) were not reached, 88 months and 35 months, respectively. Despite no statistical significance, RFS and OS were better in stage II patients with AC than in those without AC (median RFS, 151 months vs. 38 months; p=0.156 and median OS, 153 months vs. 74 months; p=0.299). In multivariate analysis for RFS and OS, TNM stage, R1 resection status, presence of lymphovascular invasion, and perineural invasion remained significant factors, whereas AC (hazard ratio [HR], 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54 to 1.00; p=0.052) was marginally related with RFS. After propensity score matching in only stage II/III patients, RFS and OS with AC were numerically longer than those without AC (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.60 to 1.06; p=0.116 and HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.56 to 1.06; p=0.111).
Conclusion
AC with fluoropyrimidine did not improve survival of patients with resected AoV carcinoma. However, multivariate analysis with prognostic factors showed a marginally significant survival benefit with AC.

Spatial Distribution and Prognostic Implications of Tumor-Infiltrating FoxP3^- CD4⁺ T Cells in Biliary Tract Cancer: Hyung-Don Kim, Jwa Hoon Kim, Yeon-Mi Ryu, Danbee Kim, Sunmin Lee, Jaehoon Shin, Seung-Mo Hong, Ki-Hun Kim, Dong‐Hwan Jung, Gi‐Won Song, Dae Wook Hwang, Jae Hoon Lee, Ki Byung Song, Baek-Yeol Ryoo, Jae Ho Jeong, Kyu-pyo Kim, Sang-Yeob Kim, Changhoon Yoo; Cancer Res Treat. 2021;53(1):162-171. Published online August 31, 2020; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2020.704

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub

Purpose
The clinical implications of tumor-infiltrating T cell subsets and their spatial distribution in biliary tract cancer (BTC) patients treated with gemcitabine plus cisplatin were investigated.
Materials and Methods
A total of 52 BTC patients treated with palliative gemcitabine plus cisplatin were included. Multiplexed immunohistochemistry was performed on tumor tissues, and immune infiltrates were separately analyzed for the stroma, tumor margin, and tumor core.
Results
The density of CD8⁺ T cells, FoxP3^- CD4⁺ helper T cells, and FoxP3⁺ CD4⁺ regulatory T cells was significantly higher in the tumor margin than in the stroma and tumor core. The density of LAG3- or TIM3-expressing CD8⁺ T cell and FoxP3^- CD4⁺ helper T cell infiltrates was also higher in the tumor margin. In extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, there was a higher density of T cell subsets in the tumor core and regulatory T cells in all regions. A high density of FoxP3^-CD4⁺ helper T cells in the tumor margin showed a trend toward better progression-free survival (PFS) (p=0.092) and significantly better overall survival (OS) (p=0.012). In multivariate analyses, a high density of FoxP3^- CD4⁺ helper T cells in the tumor margin was independently associated with favorable PFS and OS.
Conclusion
The tumor margin is the major site for the active infiltration of T cell subsets with higher levels of LAG3 and TIM3 expression in BTC. The density of tumor margin-infiltrating FoxP3^-CD4⁺ helper T cells may be associated with clinical outcomes in BTC patients treated with gemcitabine plus cisplatin.

A total of 348 patients who underwent major hepatectomy for PHCC between 2008 and 2015 were identified from a single center. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared across stage groups with the log-rank test. The concordance index was used to evaluate the prognostic predictability of the 8th AJCC staging system compared with that of the 7th.
Results
In the 8th edition, the stratification of each group of T classification improved compared to that in the 7th, as the survival rate of T4 decreased (T2, 31.2%; T3, 13.9%; T4, 15.1%; T1- T2, p=0.260; T2-T3, p=0.001; T3-T4, p=0.996). Both editions showed significant survival differences between each N category, except between N1 and N2 (p=0.063) in 7th edition. Differences of point estimates between the 8th and 7th T and N classification and overall stages were +0.028, +0.006, and +0.039, respectively (T, p=0.005; N, p=0.115; overall stage, p=0.005). In multivariable analysis, posthepatectomy liver failure, T category, N category, distant metastasis, histologic differentiation, intraoperative transfusion, and resection margin status were associated with OS.
Conclusion
The prognostic predictability of 8th AJCC staging for PHCC improved slightly, with statistical significance, compared to the 7th edition, but its overall performance is still unsatisfactory.

Purpose
The 8th edition of gallbladder cancer staging in the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system changed the T and N categories.
Materials and Methods
In order to validate the new staging system, a total of 348 surgically resected gallbladder cancers were grouped based on the 8th edition of the T and N categories and compared with patients’ survival.
Results
Significant differences were noted between T1b-T2a (p=0.003) and T2b-T3 (p < 0.001) tumors, but not between Tis-T1a, T1a-T1b, and T2a-T2b tumors. However, significant survival differences were observed both by the overall and pair-wise (T1-T2, T2-T3) comparisons (all, p < 0.001) without dividing T1/T2 subcategories. When cases with ≥ 6 examined lymph nodes were evaluated, significant survival differences were observed among the entire comparison (p < 0.001) and pair-wise comparisons of N0-N1 (p=0.001) and N1-N2 (p=0.039) lesions. When cases without nodal dissection (NX) were additionally compared, significant survival differences were observed between patients with N0-NX (p=0.001) and NX-N1 (p < 0.001) lesions.
Conclusion
The T category in the 8th edition of the AJCC staging system did not completely stratify the prognosis of patients with gallbladder cancer. Modification by eliminating T subcategories can better stratify the prognosis. In contrast, the N category clearly determines patients’ survival with ≥ 6 examined lymph nodes. The survival time in patients of gallbladder cancers without nodal dissection is between N0 and N1 cases. Therefore, close postoperative followed up is recommended for those patients.

Validation of the Eighth American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging System for Distal Bile Duct Carcinoma: Sun-Young Jun, You-Na Sung, Jae Hoon Lee, Kwang-Min Park, Young-Joo Lee, Seung-Mo Hong; Cancer Res Treat. 2019;51(1):98-111. Published online March 2, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2017.595

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose
T category of the eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for distal bile duct carcinoma (DBDC) was changed to include tumor invasion depth measurement, while the N category adopted a 3-tier classification system based on the number of metastatic nodes.
Materials and Methods
To validate cancer staging, a total of 200 surgically resected DBDCs were staged and compared according to the seventh and eighth editions.
Results
T categories included T1 (n=37, 18.5%), T2 (n=114, 57.0%), and T3 (n=49, 24.5%). N categories included N0 (n=133, 66.5%), N1 (n=50, 25.0%), and N2 (n=17, 8.5%). Stage groupings included I (n=33, 16.5%), II (n=150, 75.0%), and III (n=17, 8.5%). The overall 5-year survival rates (5-YSRs) of T1, T2, and T3 were 59.3%, 42.4%, and 12.2%, respectively. T category could discriminate patient survival by both pairwise (T1 and T2, p=0.011; T2 and T3, p < 0.001) and overall (p < 0.001) comparisons. The overall 5-YSRs of N0, N1, and N2 were 47.3%, 17.0%, and 14.7%, respectively. N category could partly discriminate patient survival by both pairwise (N0 and N1, p < 0.001; N1 and N2, p=0.579) and overall (p < 0.001) comparisons. The overall 5-YSRs of stages I, II, and III were 59.0%, 35.4%, and 14.7%, respectively. Stages could distinguish patient survival by both pairwise (I and II, p=0.002; II and III, p=0.015) and overall (p < 0.001) comparisons. On multivariate analyses, T and N categories (p=0.014 and p=0.029) and pancreatic invasion (p=0.006) remained significant prognostic factors.
Conclusion
The T andNcategories of the eighth edition AJCC staging system for DBDC accurately predict patient prognosis.

Prognostic Factors for Risk Stratification of Patients with Recurrent or Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Who Were Treated with Gemcitabine-Based Chemotherapy: Inkeun Park, Seung Joon Choi, Young Saing Kim, Hee Kyung Ahn, Junshik Hong, Sun Jin Sym, Jinny Park, Eun Kyung Cho, Jae Hoon Lee, Yong Ju Shin, Dong Bok Shin; Cancer Res Treat. 2016;48(4):1264-1273. Published online March 23, 2016; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2015.250

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose
The aim of this study was to verify prognostic factors including sarcopenia in patients with recurrent or metastatic pancreatic cancer receiving gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. Materials and Methods Medical records and computed tomography scan of consecutive patients treated with palliative gemcitabine-based chemotherapy from 2008 to 2014 were reviewed. The lumbar skeletal muscle index at third lumbar spine level was computed, and together with clinicolaboratory factors, univariate and multivariable analyses for overall survival (OS) were performed.
Results
A total of 88 patients were found. Median age was 65 years, and male patients were predominant (67.0%). Most patients had initially metastatic disease (72.7%), and gemcitabine monotherapy was administered in 29 patients (33.0%) while gemcitabine plus erlotinib was administered in 59 patients (67.0%). Seventy-six patients (86.3%) had sarcopenia. With a median follow-up period of 44.3 months (range, 0.6 to 44.3 months), median OS was 5.35 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.11 to 6.59). In univariate and multivariable analysis, high carcinoembryonic antigen level (hazard ratio [HR], 4.18; 95% CI, 1.95 to 8.97; p < 0.001), initially metastatic disease (HR, 3.37; 95% CI, 1.55 to 7.32; p=0.002), sarcopenia (HR, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.20 to 7.36; p=0.019), neutrophilia (HR, 2.94; 95% CI, 1.27 to 6.79; p=0.012), and high lactate dehydrogenase level (HR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.07 to 3.58; p=0.029) were identified as independent prognostic factors for OS. Conclusion Five independent prognostic factors in patients with recurrent or metastatic pancreatic cancer who received gemcitabine-based chemotherapy were identified. These findings may be helpful in prediction of prognosis in clinical practice and can be used as a stratification factor for clinical trials.

Randomized Phase II Study of Pemetrexed Versus Gefitinib in Previously Treated Patients with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Young Saing Kim, Eun Kyung Cho, Hyun Sun Woo, Junshik Hong, Hee Kyung Ahn, Inkeun Park, Sun Jin Sym, Sun Young Kyung, Shin Myung Kang, Jeong-Woong Park, Sung Hwan Jeong, Jinny Park, Jae Hoon Lee, Dong Bok Shin; Cancer Res Treat. 2016;48(1):80-87. Published online March 2, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2014.307

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pemetrexed versus gefitinib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previously treated with chemotherapy. Materials and Methods Patients with advanced (stage IIIB or IV) or recurrent NSCLC were randomly assigned to receive either 500 mg/m² of pemetrexed intravenously every 3 weeks or gefitinib 250 mg/day orally. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months.
Results
A total of 95 patients were enrolled (47 for pemetrexed and 48 for gefitinib). Most patients were male (72%) and current/ex-smokers (69%), and 80% had non-squamous cell carcinoma. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status was determined in 38 patients (40%); one patient per each arm was positive for EGFRmutation. The 6-month PFS rates were 22% and 15% for pemetrexed and gefitinib, respectively (p=0.35). Both arms showed an identical median PFS of 2.0 months and a median overall survival (OS) of 8.5 months. In EGFR wild-type patients, higher response rate (RR) and longer PFS as well as OS were achieved via pemetrexed compared with gefitinib, although there were no significant differences (RR: 39% vs. 9%, p=0.07; median PFS: 6.6 months vs. 3.1 months, p=0.45; median OS: 29.6 months vs. 12.9 months, p=0.62). Toxicities were mild in both treatment arms. Frequently reported toxicities were anemia and fatigue for pemetrexed, and skin rash and anorexia for gefitinib. Conclusion Both pemetrexed and gefitinib had similar efficacy with good tolerability as second-line treatment in unselected patients with advanced NSCLC. However, pemetrexed is considered more effective than gefitinib for EGFR wild-type patients.

Published online October 28, 2014; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2014.055

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose
This study was conducted to evaluate outcomes in adult patients with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) or Burkitt-like lymphoma treated with an rituximab plus hyper-CVAD (R-hyper-CVAD) regimen by focusing on tolerability and actual delivered relative dose intensity (RDI).
Materials and Methods
Patients ≥ 20 years of age and pathologically diagnosed with BL or Burkitt-like lymphoma were treated with at least one cycle of R-hyper-CVAD as the first-line treatment in this study. Eligible patients’ case report forms were requested from their physicians to obtain clinical and laboratory data for this retrospective study.
Results
Forty-three patients (median age, 51 years) from 14 medical centers in Korea were analyzed, none of which were infected with human immunodeficiency virus. The majority of patients had advanced diseases, and 24 patients achieved a complete response (75.0%). After a median follow-up period of 20.0 months, 2-year event-free and overall survival rates were 70.9% and 81.4%, respectively. Eleven patients (25.6%) were unable to complete the R-hyper-CVAD regimen, including six patients due to early death. The RDIs of adriamycin, vincristine, methotrexate, and cytarabine were between 60% and 65%, which means less than 25% of patients received greater than 80% of the planned dose of each drug. Poor performance status was related to the lower RDIs of doxorubicin and methotrexate.
Conclusion
R-hyper-CVAD showed excellent treatment outcomes in patients who were suitable for dose-intense chemotherapy. However, management of patients who are intolerant to a dose-intense regimen remains problematic due to the frequent occurrence of treatmentrelated complications.

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Trichilemmal carcinoma (TC) is an uncommon cutaneous neoplasm that develops from the external root sheath of the hair follicle. It is considered to be a low-grade carcinoma with low metastatic potential. Local recurrence and metastasis are rare after surgical excision. We report here on a case of metastatic TC in the skin over the thigh, and this tumor was treated with cisplatin and cyclophosphamide combination chemotherapy.

This study was designed to determine the efficacy and safety of FOLFOX-4 chemotherapy as a salvage treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC).

Materials and Methods

The AGC patients with an ECOG performance status of 0~1 and progressive disease after prior treatments were registered onto this phase II trial. The patients received oxaliplatin (85 mg/m² on day 1), leucovorin (200 mg/m² on days 1 and 2) and 5-fluorouracil (400 mg/m² as a bolus and 600 mg/m² as a 22-hour infusion on days 1 and 2) every 2 weeks.

Results

For the 42 treated patients, a total of 228 chemotherapy cycles (median: 5, range: 1~12) were administered. Twenty-nine patients (69%) received FOLFOX-4 chemotherapy as a third-(50%) or fourth-line (19%) treatment. On the intent-to-treat analysis, 9 patients (21%) achieved a partial response, which was maintained for 4.6 months. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 3.0 months and 6.2 months, respectively. The frequently encountered toxicities were neutropenia and gastrointestinal side effects, including anorexia. Although there was one possible treatment-related death, the toxicity profiles were generally predictable and manageable.

Conclusion

Salvage chemotherapy with FOLFOX-4 is an effective and tolerable regimen for those heavily pretreated AGC patients who have a good performance status.

Gemcitabine versus Gemcitabine Combined with Cisplatin Treatment Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer: A Retrospective Analysis: Jae-Hyuk Choi, Sung Yong Oh, Hyuk-Chan Kwon, Jung Hwan Kim, Jae Hoon Lee, Suee Lee, Dong Mee Lee, Sung-Hyun Kim, Myung Hwan Rho, Young-Hoon Kim, Mee-Sook Rho, Hyo-Jin Kim; Cancer Res Treat. 2008;40(1):22-26. Published online March 31, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2008.40.1.22

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose

Gemcitabine is the most active agent to treat unresectable pancreatic cancer. The superiority of combining other drugs with cisplatin is still controversial; therefore, we performed a retrospective analysis of gemcitabine versus gemcitabine combined with cisplatin to determine the treatment outcomes for patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Materials and Methods

From 2001 to 2007, we enrolled 60 patients who were treated with gemcitabine or gemcitabine combined with cisplatin for locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Gemcitabine 1, 000 mg/m² (G) was administrated at day 1 and day 8 every 3 weeks. Cisplatin 60 mg/m² was added at day 1 every 3 weeks to the gemcitabine schedule (GP).

Results

Number of G: GP was 34: 26, locally advanced to metastatic ratio was 35% to 65% in group G and 46% to 54% in group GP. Median follow up duration was 29 months. The median number of chemotherapy cycles was 4 (range: 2~11) for the G group, and 4 (range: 1~11) for the GP group. The response rate of the G and GP groups was 17% and 11%, respectively. The progression free survival (PFS) was 4.5 months and 2.8 months, respectively, for the G and GP groups. The overall survival (OS) was 10.7 and 8.7 months respectively, for the G and GP groups, but there is no statistically significant difference of the PFS (p=0.2396) and OS (p=0.4643) between the 2 groups. The hematological toxicity profile was similar (the grade III neutropenia and thrombocytopenia was 4.4% and 3.1%, respectively, in G group, and 7.5% and 2.8%, respectively, in the GP group). But non-hematological toxicities such as skin rash, abnormal liver function and nausea/vomiting were observed in 3 patients of the GP group. On the prognostic factor analysis, no factors predicted a longer PFS and OS for both the G and GP groups.

Conclusions

Gemcitabine single treatment might be more tolerable and it had the same efficacy compared to cisplatin combination treatment in this retrospective study.

A Pilot Study of Cisplatin, Irinotecan, Leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil (PILF) Combination Chemotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer: Se Hoon Park, Soo Yeon Jeon, Kwang Il Ko, Eunmi Nam, Soo-Mee Bang, Eun Kyung Cho, Dong Bok Shin, Jae Hoon Lee, Woon Ki Lee, Min Chung; Cancer Res Treat. 2006;38(3):121-125. Published online June 30, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2006.38.3.121

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Purpose

Irinotecan, in combination with leucovorin/5-fluorouracil (FU) or with cisplatin, is known to be active for treating advanced gastric cancer (AGC). This pilot study evaluated a novel three-drug combination of irinotecan, leucovorin/FU and cisplatin as a first-line treatment of AGC. The primary endpoint was to assess the feasibility in anticipation of conducting a larger phase II study.

Materials and Methods

Chemotherapy-naive AGC patients received irinotecan 150 mg/m² on day 1, and leucovorin 200 mg/m² and a 22-h infusion of FU 1000 mg/m² on days 1 and 2. Cisplatin 30 mg/m² was administered on day 2. Treatment was repeated every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Results

Of the 17 eligible patients, two patients had an ECOG performance status of 2 and their median age was 48 years (range: 31 to 69). A total of 117 chemotherapy cycles were delivered (median: 6, range: 1 to 12). The causes of treatment discontinuation were disease progression in 9 patients (53%), refusal (35%) and toxicity (12%). Although grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (41% of patients) was the major toxicity that required dose adjustments, only one episode of febrile neutropenia occurred. Grade 3 or 4 nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and fatigue were observed in 35%, 35% and 29% of patients, respectively. None of the patients died of toxicity during treatment. Of the 16 patients who were evaluable for response, 7 (44%) experienced a partial response.

Conclusion

This novel multi-drug combination was tolerated well in patients with AGC. Based on the encouraging efficacy and tolerability, a randomized phase II study is ongoing in this disease setting.

A Phase II Study of Weekly Paclitaxel, Cisplatin and Concurrent Radiation Therapy for Locally-Advanced Unresectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Early Closure due to Lack of Efficacy: Se Hoon Park, Mi Kyung Kim, Sun Young Kyung, Young-Hee Lim, Chang Hyeok An, Jeong Woong Park, Seong Hwan Jeong, Jae Woong Lee, Kyu Chan Lee, Eun Kyung Cho, Soo Mee Bang, Dong Bok Shin, Jae Hoon Lee; Cancer Res Treat. 2004;36(5):293-297. Published online October 31, 2004; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2004.36.5.293

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub: 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.

Published online June 30, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2003.35.3.239

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
Paclitaxel and cisplatin, active drugs in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), have been found to be synergistic and less myelotoxic in combination when the paclitaxel is given 24 hr prior to the cisplatin. Their antitumor activity and toxicity in patients with advanced NSCLC has been evaluated herein. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-four chemonaive patients, with advanced NSCLC, were enrolled. Paclitaxel, 175 mg/m2, was administered on day 1, followed 24 hr later by cisplatin, 75 mg/m2, on day 2. RESULTS: The overall response rate, median time to progression and median survival time were 51%, 7.1 months (95% confidence interval (CI), 5.5~8.7 months) and 13.7 months (95% CI, 11.3~16.1 months), respectively. There were significant differences in the overall survival rates in relation to stage and the ECOG performance status(PS). The toxicity was mainly nonhematological. Grade > or =3 neuropathy occurred in 2 (3%) patients, myalgia in 3 (4%), and bone pain in 3 (4%). The hematological toxicity was mild, and no grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was observed.
CONCLUSION
The combination of paclitaxel and cisplatin is an effective and tolerable treatment regimen for advanced NSCLC during first line chemotherapy. The main toxicity was nonhematological, such as peripheral neuropathy, myalgia and bone pain, whereas the hematological toxicity itself was mild.

Suppression of Peritoneal Metastases by Expression of Murine Endostatin cDNA: Seung Ho Choi, Jae Hoon Lee, Sung Hee Hong, Woo Jin Hyung, Sung Hoon Noh, Hyun Cheol Chung, Jae Kyung Roh, Jin Sik Min; Cancer Res Treat. 2002;34(4):302-307. Published online August 31, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2002.34.4.302

Abstract PDF

Peritoneal seeding is one of problems to be solved in gastrointestinal and ovarian cancers. Angiogenesis is the critical step for a dormancy tumor cluster to be an overt metastatic nodule. However, whether an anti-angiogenesis strategy is effective in the control of peritoneal metastases is still obscure. In this study, we evaluated whether endostatin, an endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor, suppresses peritoneal metastases.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We transduced a human gastric cancer cell line, AGS and a murine renal cancer cell line, Renca, with the plasmid pEndoSTHB, which encodes a secretable form of murine endostatin. Endostatin expression was tested with western blotting, and the biological activity of the secreted endostatin was confirmed with in vitro endothelial cell growth inhibition. In the animal experiments, stable transfectants were injected intraperitoneally.
RESULTS
We demonstrated secretion of endostatin from two cell lines transduced with the plasmid pEndoSTHB. Conditioned media secreted from pEndoSTSB-transduced mammalian cells were shown to potently inhibit endothelial cell growth in vitro. We selected stable transfectants with similar in vitro growth rates of their parental cell lines. Significant tumor growth inhibition was observed in the endostatin-expressing Renca cells intraperitoneal injection group at days of 28, compared to the null transfectants intraperitoneal injection control group.
CONCLUSION
These results support that peritoneal seeding is angiogenesis-dependant and an anti-angiogenesis strategy is a good way to control peritoneal metastases.

A Phase II Study of Genexol(R) (paclitaxel) in Metastatic Breast Cancer: Joo Young Jung, Hyun Chul Jeong, Sung Soo Yoon, Jae Hoon Lee, Jun Seok Kim, Hyo Jin Kim, Ki Hyun Kim, Jun O Park, Won Seop Lee, Dae Seog Heo, Yung Jue Bang, Noe Kyeong Kim; Cancer Res Treat. 2001;33(6):451-457. Published online December 31, 2001; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2001.33.6.451

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
Paclitaxel is a very effective agent in the treatment of breast cancer. Samyang Corporation has developed its own process to produce paclitaxel in a large volume using plant cell culture technology. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Genexol(R) in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have failed to respond to standard therapy, we performed a prospective, multi- center phase II clinical trial.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Patients with metastatic breast cancer were included in this study. Enrollees were required to have histologically confirmed breast cancer with bidimensionally measurable metastatic disease. Genexol(R) was administered at 175 mg/m2 as a 3-hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. All patients were premedicated with hydrocortisone, pheniramine maleate, and H2 blocker 30 minutes prior to paclitaxel. We planned to administer at least 4 courses of paclitaxel unless there was disease progression or unacceptable toxicity and to continue treatment up to a total of 6 courses in cases of objective response following 4 courses.
RESULTS
The median duration of follow-up was 8.9 (2.07~13.7) months. Forty-five patients were registered and 43 were eligible. The performance status of patients was ECOG 0~1 in 39 patients (90.7%) and 2 in 4 (9.3%). The location of metastases at the start of the study were the lung (15 patients), liver (8 patients), lymph nodes (22 patients), and other (7 patients). Among the 40 evaluable patients, 15 patients obtained partial responses (PRs) (37.5%, 95% CI: 22.5~52.5%). The median duration of response was 11.67 (4.1~11.7) months and the median time to progression was 7.73 (2.8~11.7) months. The median survival time was not reached at 13.7 months, and the overall survival rate at 13.7 months was 70.1%. The hematologic toxicity was primarily neutropenia with grade 3 or 4 in 10 patients (23.3%). The grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicities included alopecia (17, 39.5%), myalgia (2, 4.7%), neuropathy (2, 4.7%), and pruritus (1, 2.3%). Mild hypersensitivity reaction was observed in 2 patients, although it did not cause withdrawal of the test drug.
CONCLUSION
The results suggest that the Genexol injection is an effective anticancer formulation for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer and toxicity is acceptable.

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of oxaliplatin in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who previously treated with 5-FU-based chemotherapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between April 1999 and January 2001, thirty-two patients were enrolled in this study. Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 was given intravenously (IV) on day 1 as was 5-FU 500 mg/m2 IV followed by continuous infusion of 5-FU 3,000 mg/m2 and LV 100 mg/m2 for 48 hours administered every 3 weeks. Six patients had received 5-FU as an adjuvant setting and 26 patients as a palliative regimen.
RESULTS
The median age of the patients was 50 years (range; 19-69) and the dominant sites of metastasis were the liver, lung or both in 9, 5 and 2 patients respectively. In 30 evaluable patients, the overall response rate was 27% including 1 complete response and 7 partial responses. The median response duration was 28 weeks (95% confidence interval; 22~34 weeks) and the median progression free survival of all patients was 24 weeks (95% confidence interval; 15~33 weeks). A median 5 cycles (range; 2~9) and total 155 cycles were performed in 32 patients. 150 cycles were evaluable for toxicity. The most common hematologic toxicity was grade 1~2 anemia in 78 cycles (52%). Leukopenia (39%) and thrombocytopenia (23%) were fully reversible. The most common non-hematologic toxicity was nausea/vomiting (43/30%) followed by diarrhea (23%), hepatotoxicity (21%) and neurotoxicity (21%). One patient ceased therapy due to grade 4 diarrhea. No other severe toxicity interrupted this treatment.
CONCLUSION
Oxaliplatin, 5-FU and LV in combination showed significant activity in previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer with favorable toxicity.

Purpose
A three-drug combination of cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (CVD) shows significant efficacy and manageable toxicity as induction therapy in patients with multiple myeloma.
Materials and Methods
In this phase II study, we enrolled 45 patients who achieved a very good partial response (VGPR) or partial response (PR) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of CVD consolidation. CVD consolidation comprised three cycles of cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m² orally on days 1, 8, and 15, and bortezomib 1.3 mg/m² subcutaneously on days 1, 8, 15, and 22, along with dexamethasone 20 mg orally or intravenously on days 1 and 2, 8 and 9, 15 and 16, and 22 and 23.
Results
At enrollment, 39 patients (86.7%) showed VGPR, and nine (13.3%) presented with PR. Nineteen patients (45.2%) achieved a complete response or better as their best response after the end of consolidation. Overall, 22 of 42 patients (52.4%) experienced an improved response status with CVD consolidation. Three-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were 89.0% and 42.7%, respectively. The most common non-hematologic toxicities were peripheral neuropathy and infection (20.5%), with no grade ≥ 3 neuropathy observed.
Conclusion
These results showed that CVD consolidation therapy improved the response with reasonable toxicity in patients with residual disease after ASCT. This trial was registered with the Clinical Research Information Service, Republic of Korea (KCT0001327).

High Dose Chemotherapy with Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, and Etoposide Followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Breast Cancer: Soo Mee Bang, Se Hoon Lee, Eun Kyung Cho, Jung Ae Lee, Young Suk Park, Dong Bok Shin, Jae Hoon Lee, Yung Jue Bang, Seonyang Park, Byoung Kook Kim, Noe Kyeong Kim; J Korean Cancer Assoc. 2000;32(6):1059-1066.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
To establish the feasibility of high dose ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (ICE) chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with high-risk or metastatic breast cancer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
High-risk breast cancer is defined as 10 or more involved axillary lymph nodes (n=3) or stage III (n=2). Patients with metastatic cancer have relapsed diseases after curative resection (n=10) or initially metastatic lesion (n=1). Colony stimulating factor with either cyclophosphamide or combination chemotherapy was administered to mobilize the stem cells. High dose chemotherapy consisted of ifosfamide 16 g/m2, carboplatin 1.8 g/m2, and etoposide 0.75 g/m2 (dose I) and later modified to ifosfamide 12 g/m2, carboplatin 1.35 g/m2, and etoposide 1.2 g/m2 (dose II).
RESULTS
The median duration of grunulocyte nadir (<500/ microliter) was 11 (10~17) days and platelet transfusion dependency (<20,000/ microliter) was 11 (7~53) days in 14 patients who achieved engraftment. One out of 5 patients with high-risk breast cancer relapsed after high dose therapy. Two patients remain disease-free at 18th and 40th months. Two among the 4 patients treated with dose I died due to treatment-related complications. The responses of metastatic diseases to ICE chemotherapy were 1 continuing CR, 1 CR, 1 PR, 4 SD and 3 PD in 10 evaluable patients.
CONCLUSION
High dose ICE chemotherapy, especially dose II and ASCT were feasible in high-risk or metastatic breast cancer.

Four Cases of Typhlitis, Developed in Neutropenic State and Treated with Medical Conservative Management: Pill Woon Kim, Hyeon Gyoo Ji, Hyun Sik Jeong, Chan Il Moon, Dong Kyeong Yang, Seung Won Lee, Yon Sil Jung, Ji Ho Choi, Gui Hyun Nam, Jae Hoon Lee, Dong Bok Shin; J Korean Cancer Assoc. 1997;29(5):906-913.

Abstract PDF: Typhlitis is a life threatening necrotizing enterocolitis of the cecum, ascending colon and terminal ileum seen in severely neutropenic patients, however its pathogenesis is not identified up to this time.The incidence of typhlitis in leukemic patient is 10~12%, estimated by postmortem examination, and 46% in induction chemotherapy of leukemia. Recently, entity incidence is more high due to increasing challenges to high dose chemotherapy in solid tumors.We experienced four cases of typhlitis, one was developed in the circumstance of neutropenia induced by induction chemotherapy for acute myelocytic leukemia and others in neutropnia due to primary diseases without chemotherapy, ig, chronic myelocytic leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome.All cases were treated with high dose broad spectrum antibiotics in early phase of disease and its outcome was good, so that, early diagnosis of typhlitis is essential, then prompt treatment with high dose antibiotics and intravenous fluid before onset of transmural necrosis is associated with lower morbidity and mortality than surgical resection.

Clinical Trial

Effect of Cytosine Arabinoside and Daunorubicin (AD) Combination Chemotherapy in Acute Myelogenous Leukemia: Yeoung Sook Kang, Hyun Sik Jeong, Tae Seok Kim, Hyun Seon Yun, Deuk Jo Kim, Jeong Ho Yun, Seong Goyng Lee, Hyeon Gyoo Ji, Gui Hyun Ham, Jae Hoon Lee, Dong Bok Shin; J Korean Cancer Assoc. 1997;29(1):160-170.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
Important advances in the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia have been made with the introduction of cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) and anthracyclines (daunorubicin) over the past 20 years. Currently, 60 to 80% of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia achieve complete remission with induction chemotherapy consisting of ara-C and daunorubicin (adriamycin) AD ("7+3"). The one-fourth of complete responders will have extended long-term survival and may be cured. Therefore wetreated patients with acute myelogenous leukemia admitted to our hospital with AD ("7+3") regimen.
METHODS
Induction therapy; Thirty four patients with previously untreated acute myelogenous leukemia received AD ("7+3") regimen (ara-C, 200 mg/m2/d by continuous infusion for seven days, and daunorubicin, 45 mg/m2/d for 3 days). The second course of therapy was AD ("5+2"), if the patients failed to enter remission. Consolidation therapy; three cycles of consolidation chemotherapy were administered with at least 4 week interval following remission. Course 1; ara-C at 100 mg/m2 by subcutaneous injection every 12 hour for seven days, 6-thioguanine at every 12 hour 100 mg/m2 orally every 12 hour for 7 days). Course 2; ara-C (same as course 1) at 100 mg/m2 by subcutaneous injection every 12 hour for seven days, vincristine at 1.5 mg/m2 (maximum 2 mg) by bolus injection for 1 day, prednisolone at 40 mg/m2 (maximum 60 mg) orally for 7 days. Course 3; ara-C (same as course 1) daunorubicin at 45 mg/m2 by 1 hour infusion for 3 dyas.
RESULTS
Sixty-eight percent of the 34 patients entered complete remission. The remission duration for all patients in complete remission ranged from 4 weeks to 3122+ weeks, with the median of 50 weeks. The median duration of survival in complete responder group was 62 weeks. Twenty-Six percent of patients with complete remission are alive at 5 years.
Case
s with extramedullary leukemic involvement were found in four patients; M2 with orbital mass, M3 and M4 with CNS leukemia, M5a with subcutaneous nodules. Among the potential prognostic variables including age, initial WBC count, percent of blast in peripheral blood,none was statistically related to prognosis.
CONCLUSION
Combination chemotherapy with cytosine arabinoside and daunorubicin is a effective regimen for acute myelogenous leukemia as much as other regimen. Futher clinical trials for effective treatment regimen and method are necessary to raise the complete remission rate.

5-Fluorouracil Continuous Infusion and Mitomycin-C ( FM ) Combination Chemotherapy for Metastatic or Recurrent Colorectal Cancer: Keun Chil Park, Sung Soo Yoon, Jae Hoon Lee, Seung Taek Kim, Yung Jue Bang, Noe Kyeong Kim, Jae Gahb Park, Kuhn Uk Lee, Sung Kuk Hong, Kuk Jin Choe, Soo Tae Kim, Sung Whan Ha, Charn Il Park; J Korean Cancer Assoc. 1987;19(2):101-107.

Abstract PDF: Between March, 1983 and June, 1986, 64 patients with metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer were treated with a combination chemotherapy consisting of 5-fluorouracil (5-FV), 1,000 mg/m iv continuous infusion over .12 hours on day 1-5; mitomycin-C, 10 mg/m iv on day 1; cycled every 4 weeks. Among 46 patients with measurable lesions, none achieved complete remission and 5 (11%) achieved partial remissions. The median duration of remission was 31 weeks. Overall median survival was 49 weeks for all patients; 65 weeks for patients with remission; 51 weeks for those with stable disease; and 31 weeks for those with progressive disease, Greater response rates were observed in patient groups with age over 50, performance status 0-1, no previous history of chemotherapy, initial CEA level less than 10 ng/ml, or metastatic sites of lymph node, than in respective comparative patient groups. But, these differences did not achieved statistical significance. Toxicity was common, but generally mild to moderate and rapidly reversible.
