Abstract

Objective: Analysing the adverse events of chemotherapy of triplet regimen CAP in metastatic salivary gland carcinoma at National Cancer Hospital from 2015 to 2021. Patients and method: Retrospective analysis of 36 patients with metastatic salivary gland carcinoma were diagnosed and treated with chemotherapy of CAP regimen at National Cancer Hospital from 2015 to 2021. Results: Most of patients were received 6 cycles of CAP regimen, accounted for 89.9%. Two hundred and four cycles were administered (mean, 5.67 cycles per patient). Full dose of chemotherapy in 33 of 36 patients. Delays, interruptions treatment and decreased dose of chemotherapy were presented 15.6% in our study. The myelosuppresstion was less frequent and usually less severe. Common hematologic adverse events were leukopenia and neutropenia, accounted for 44.4% and 47.2%, respectively. There were no report of hematologic AEs grade 4 or complications. Major non-hematologic toxic effects were nausea/vomiting and alopecia, usually grade 1-2. Conclusion: Chemotherapy of triplet regimen CAP showed good tolerance in patients with metastatic salivary gland carcinoma, toxicity grade 1-2 was predominant, no report of chemotherapy-related deaths occurred.
