Abstract

Aims: To evaluate response and side effects of patients with stage III Non-small-cell lung cancer who were treated first-line by Paclitaxel and Carboplatin combined with radiation therapy. Patients and method of study: Retrospective and prospective study on 35 non-small cell lung cancer patients in stage III treated by Paclitaxel and Carboplatin combined with radiation therapy from March 2019 to August 2022. Results: Median of age 66± 7,3, male/female: 6/1. 31/35 (88,6%) patients completed the full dose of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Partial response was achieved in 23 patients (65,7%) and the rate of disease control is 85,7%. Anemia occurs in 14/35 patients (40%), mainly grade 1. The percentage of neutropenia is 28,6%, and there are no patients with grade 4 leukopenia, mostly grade 1, 2. Thrombocytopenia were observed in 1 (2,9%) patients, and no case of grade 3, 4. Non-hematologic toxicities were generally mild with grade 1, 2: esophagitis (37,2%), dermatitis (25,7%), pneumonia (20%). An increased level of elevated transaminases (11,4%), creatinine in blood (5.7%). Conclusion: Our finding shows that concurrent chemoradiotherapy with Paclitaxel Carboplatin regimen was safe and effective in grade III non-small cell lung cancer.
