SURVIVAL RESULT AND ADVERSE EVENTS OF SECOND LINE OF TOPOTECAN IN RECURRENT/METASTATIC SMALL-CELL LUNG CANCER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Assessing treatment results and adverse events of second line Topotecan in patients with recurrent/metastatic small-cell lung cancer who had failed to doublet chemotherapy platinum – Etoposide at National Cancer Hospital. Patients and method: Retrospective and prospective analysis of 42 recurrent/metastatic small-cell lung cancer patients who had failed less than 6 months to doublet chemotherapy platinum – Etoposide, then treated with Topotecan at National Cancer Hospital from 01/2017 to 4/2022. Results: Mean age at diagnosis was 58.5 with male/female ratio: 2.4/1. The common symptoms were chest pain (73.8%), cough (64.3%) and dyspnea (47.6%) with brain and liver metastasis, accounted for 30.9% and 26.2%, respectively. Overall response rate (complete and partial response) was seen in 9 patients (21.4%) and 7 patients of stable disease (16.7%). Disease control rate was 38.1%. Symptoms relief was reported in the majority of patient with chemotherapy. Mean progression free survival (PFS) was 16.0 weeks. The most common adverse events (AEs) were hematologic AEs with neutropenia grade 3 (19.0%) and grade 4 (47.6%). Diarrhea and nausea grade 3-4 was reported in minor patients (less than 5%). Conclusion: Small-cell lung cancer is more prevalent in the old men with clinical presentation of chest pain and dyspnea. Second line of Topotecan had improved the clinical symptoms with disease response rate 38.1% and the most common adverse events (AEs) was neutropenia.
