TREATMENT RESULTS OF FIRST-LINE PEMBROLIZUMAB FOR STAGE IV NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER PD-L1 ≥1% IN K HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: Assessing the treatment results and adverse events of first-line pembrolizumab for the treatment of stage IV non -small cell lung cancer patients in K hospital from 01/2024 to 04/2025. Patients and methods: Descriptive study of 40 patients diagnosed of stage IV NSCLC at K hospital from 01/2024 to 04/2025. Results: The partial response rate is 55%, stable disease accounts for 35%, and progressive disease accounts for 10%. The disease control rate is 90%. The average progression-free survival (PFS) time is 10.6 ± 2.8 months. The 6 months PFS rate is 62.5% and 12 months PFS rate is 32,5%. The rate of hematological toxicity was 7.5%, non-hematological toxicity was 37.5%, and immune-related toxicity was 10%. Common toxicities were grade 1 and 2
