Forty one patients with para-aortic node metastases from carcinoma of the uterine cervix treated with radiotherapy at Department of Radiation Oncology, Yonsei University, College of Medicine from January 1982 to December 1987 were retrospectively analyzed. Eleven patients were diagnosed at the time of diagnosis of carcinoma of the cervix (early diagnosis) and 30 patients were diagnosed during follow up period after definitive radiotherapy of primary site (late diagnosis). The most important factors affecting the survival in this study were time of diagnosis and dose of irradiation. Overall 5 year actuarial survival rate of 41 patients was 25.7%. Five year survival rate for early diagnosis was 60.3%, but late diagnosis was 10.9%. And survival rate for high dose (over 4000 cGy) radiation group arid low dose radiation group were 42.2% and 8.9% respectively. The most leading cause of death was para-aortic node failure, so early diagnosis and maximum palliation with full dose radiotherapy (over 4000 cGy) is necessary to improve the survival and the quality of life.

Woakes' syndrome is a group of disease which include recurrent nasal polyps resulting in the broadening of the nasal pyramid, the onset of hypoplasia of frontal sinus and bronchiectasis, as well as the production of mucous discharge. Children and young adults are mostly susceptible to Woakes' syndrome due to the plasticity of the bone. Even though the exact etiology is unknown, genetic factor is thought to be influential because it is often diagnosed in siblings. Otolaryngologically, the mainstream method of removing nasal polyp by endoscopic sinus surgery as well as topical or systemic treatment can be helpful. We report two siblings who visited our clinic both complaining of nasal obstruction. The patients presented with recurrent nasal polyps and showed signs of bronchiectasis, which led to the diagnosis of Woakes' syndrome. These rare cases are presented here with a review of related literature.

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma exhibits immunohistochemically similar features to lymphoepithelioma and commonly occurs in the skin, salivary gland, breast, lung, gastrointestinal tract, liver, urinary tract, prostate, vulva and vagina. Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma from the thyroid gland is extremely rare. We recently experienced a case of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of thyroid gland in a 28-year-old female, who presented a thyroid nodule that was suspicious of papillary carcinoma. We report this unusual case of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of thyroid gland with a brief review of literature.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign neoplasm of the parotid gland and it accounts for approximately 80% of all reported tumor from parotid. Recurrence rate was noted as 20–45% and high risk factors related to recurrence were the following: over 40 years of age, women, over 30 mm mass size, below 10 mm safety margin, tumor puncture and tumor spillage during surgery, relation to the facial nerve, tumor site, surgical procedure. We experienced a 45-year-old woman who presented a huge left parotid mass. She had a huge parotid pleomorphic adenoma that was removed 18 years ago but had recurred 8 years ago. We removed the mass and obtained good postoperative results.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of fentanyl-TTS in the management of radiotherapy induced acute pain and cancer pain treated with radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Our study was open labelled prospective phase IV multi-center study. the study population included patients with more 4 numeric rating scale(NRS) score pain although managed with other analgesics or more than 6 NRS score pain without analgesics. Patients divided into two groups; patients with radiotherapy induced pain (Group A) and patients with cancer pain treated with radiotherapy (Group B). All patients received 25 ug/hr of fentanyl transdermal patch. Primary end point was pain relief; second end points were change in patient quality of life, a degree of satisfaction for patients and clinician, side effects. RESULTS: Between March 2005 and June 2005, 312 patients from 26 participating institutes were registered, but 249 patients completed this study. Total number of patients in each group was 185 in Group A, 64 in Group B. Mean age was 60 years and male to female ratio was 76:24. Severe pain NRS score at 2 weeks after the application of fentanyl was decreased from 7.03 to 4.01, p=0.003. There was a significant improvement in insomnia, social functioning, and quality of life. A degree of satisfaction for patients and clinician was very high. The most common reasons of patients' satisfactions was good pain control. Ninety six patients reported side effect. Nausea was the most common side effect. There was no serious side effect. CONCLUSION: Fentanyl-TTS was effective in both relieving pain with good tolerability and improving the quality of life for patients with radiotherapy induced acute pain and cancer pain treated with radiotherapy. The satisfaction of the patients and doctors was good. There was no major side effect.
