Abstract
Purpose: Immunotherapy of malignant melanoma using Interferon-α2b increases the adaptive immune system activity remaining after surgical resection of the tumor to prevent recurrence, and enhance survival. We will compare the therapeutic effect upon disease-free survival, and overall survival of immunotherapy using high-dose interferon-α2b versus combination therapy using the same regimen with additional dacarbazine after surgical resection. Materials and Methods: At Kosin University Gospel Hospital, from March, 2003 to July, 2014, 17 patients underwent postoperative adjuvant therapy after being diagnosed with malignant melanoma. Of the 17 patients, eight underwent immunotherapy using interferon and nine underwent combination therapy using interferon with dacarbazine. Average of 29 months in the immunotherapy group and 44 months for the control group. Results: Of patients receiving interferon-α2b immunotherapy, four patients showed no evidence of local recurrence and local/distant metastasis, two developed local recurrence and metastasis, and two developed distant metastasis. Of those who underwent combination therapy using interferon with dacarbazine, three patients showed no evidence of local recurrence or metastasis, four developed local recurrence and metastasis, and two developed distant metastasis. The average disease-free survival was 25.75 months with interferon therapy and 29.89 months with dacarbazine therapy. The survival difference between the anticancer therapies was not statically significant based on Kaplan-Meier survival. Conclusion: Postoperative treatment using interferon-α2b has several advantages as an anticancer drug but does not differ significantly from the first-line therapy, dacarbazine.
목적: 악성 흑색종에서 고용량 인터페론-α2b를 이용한 면역요법은 외과적 절제술 후 무병 생존율과 전체 생존율을 높이는 것으로알려져 있다. 저자 등은 외과적 절제술 후 고용량 인터페론-α 면역요법과 dacarbazine (DTI)을 이용한 병합요법 간의 치료 효과를 비교분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2003년 3월부터 2014년 7월까지 고신대학교복음병원에서 악성 흑색종으로 진단받고 수술 후 항암요법을 시행한 17 명을 대상으로 하였으며, 인터페론-α2b 면역요법은 8명, DTI 병합요법은 9명이었다. 추시기간은 면역치료군은 평균 29개월이었고, 대조군은 평균 44개월이었다. SPSS 생존분석을 이용하여 검정하였다. 결과: 평균 무병생존기간은 인터페론 치료군은 25.75개월, DTI는 29.89개월이었다. Kaplan-Meier를 통해 DTI를 포함한 항암제와고용량 인터페론-α2b와의 생존율을 비교하였으나 통계적으로 의미가 없었다. 결론: 여러 가지 항암제를 사용한 치료와 비교하여 술 후 인터페론-α2b를 이용한 치료는 1차 치료로 알려진 DTI와 비교하여 큰 차이가 없다.
