낭성 두개인두종 치료를 위한 종양내 Bleomycin 주입 = Postoperative Intratumoral Injection of Bleomycin for Cystic Craniopharyngioma

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Surgical excision or irradiation of craniopharyngioma is problematic because both are often associated with high risk of complications. Three cases of cystic craniopharyngioma were subtotally removed by surgery and followed by repeated injection of bleomycin into the remaining trumor cavity as postoperative adjuvant therapy. With bleomycin injection, tumors were shrunk postoperatively in two cases out of three but in one case cyctic portion became increased in size progressively which needed second operation and irradiation. Bleomycin injection could be considered as one of the reasonable alternative adjuvant therapies for incompletely removed cystic craniopharyngioma before radiation therapy.
