| 설명 | 암의 4대 치료법은 외과적 수술요법, 방사선 치료법, 항암 화학요법, 면역요법 등을 말하며 이중 수술요법과 방사선 요법은 국소적 요법으로서 암세포가 원발장기(처음 암이 발생한 장기)나 국소 림프절까지 국한되어 있는 제 1, 2기 암의 치료에 사용된다. 화학요법과 면역요법은 전신요법으로서 제 3, 4기 암에 주로 사용되며, 1, 2기 암의 치료 후 눈에 보이지 않게 남아 있을 수 있는 잔류암세포나 미세전이 암세포의 완전파괴, 사멸을 위해 사용된다. 백혈병, 림프종과 같이 화학요법제에 잘 듣는 혈액암, 림프종과 고환종과 같이 방사선 치료에 잘 듣는 암을 제외한 대부분의 고형암(solid tumor)인 위창자관암, 간암, 이자암, 유방암, 갑상샘암, 폐암, 흑색종, 연조직암, 뼈육종, 침샘암 등은 모두 수술요법으로 치료하여야 한다. 암수술의 기본원칙: 암수술의 3가지 기본요건은 안전성, 근치성, 기능보존성이며 암수술시에는 암병터를 되도록 조심해서 적게 만지면서 수술하고 암병터를 공급하는 동정맥과 림프관을 먼저 결찰하여 암병터가 퍼지는 것을 방지한다. 암수술의 목표는 근치적 절제수술(radical surgery)이다. 그러나 이것이 불가능한 환자에서는 출혈, 폐색, 천공 등의 합병증이 발생했을때 구급목적으로 혹은 지속적 동통이 있을때 생활내용의 질적 개선을 위하여 고식적 수술(palliative surgery)을 한다. 그리고 암의 정확한 진단과 진행도의 결정을 위한 진단적 수술(diagnostic surgery)이 있다. |

| plastic section stain | <technique> For electron microscopy, a stain (e.g., osmic acid, PTA, potassium permanganate) used on thin sections of plastic-embedded tissues, utilizing differential attachment of heavy atoms to various cellular and tissue structures so that electrons will be absorbed and scattered by these structures to produce an image; to achieve differential staining, the stain must penetrate nonwettable plastic embedments, for light microscopy, a stain (e.g., alkaline toluidine blue, silver methenamine) used on plastic-embedded tissues to attain higher resolution and more detail than normally possible; semi-thick (0.5-1.5 um) sections are particularly useful in renal pathology, especially in combination with the phase microscope.
