THE EFFICACY OF IRINOTECAN MONOTHERAPY AS SECOND-LINE TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED GASTRIC CANCER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy treatment in patients with recurrent/metastatic gastric cancer with HER2/neu positive. Patients and methods: Descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal case study of 55 patients with recurrent/metastatic gastric cancer treated with trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy from 01/2023 to 06/2025 at Vietnam’s National Cancer Hospital. Results: The mean age was 59,4 ± 11,1 (34-80); the male/female ratio was 1,5/1. The overall response rate (ORR) was 49,1%, the DCR was 81,8%. The mean progression-free survival (PFS) was 10,3 ± 1,43 months, and the median progression-free survival was 6,4 months. Conclusion: In patients with recurrent/metastatic gastric cancer with HER2/neu positive, trastuzumab plus chemotherapy is a reasonable treatment option.
