THE RESULTS OF GEFTINIB AS THE FIRST-LINE TREATMENT OF ADVANCED NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER PATIENTS HARBORING EGFR MUTATIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To describe some clinical and paraclinical features of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR mutations. Evaluation the treatment results of gefitinib as the first-line treatment. Subjects and methods: A retrospective descriptive study on 63 advanced NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutations who received gefitinib as the first-line treatment at Thanh Hoa Oncology Hospital from January 2021 to May 2024. Results: The average age was 64.4. The male/female ratio was 1.17/1. The mutation rates of exon 19 and exon 21 were 57.1% and 34.9%, respectively. 85.7% of patients responded partially. The disease control rate was 93.7%. Overall survival (OS): 35 ± 4.2 months, progression free survival (PFS): 14 ± 1.9 months Conclusions: Gefitinib as the first-line treatment achieved high outcomes.
