INITIAL RESULTS OF CHEMORADIATION THERAPY FOR STAGE III ADENOCARCINOMA NON – SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER BY CISPLATIN COMBINE WITH ETOPOSIDE OR PEMETREXED REGIMENT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Stage III non-small cell lung cancer, the basic treatment is chemotherapy and radiation. Chemotherapy regimens commonly used in combination with radiotherapy are platinum-based regimens. Objectives: To evaluate the response rate of 2 regimens Etoposide – Cisplatin (EP) and Pemetrexed – Cisplatin (PeC) concomitantly with radiation for stage III lung adenocarcinoma. Subjects and methods: A retrospective study evaluated the response rates of 50 patients treated with Etoposide - Cisplatin (EP) regimen and 31 patients treated with Pemetrexed - Cisplatin (PeC) regimen concurrently with 3D radiation for inoperable stage III lung adenocarcinoma. Results: The response rate of EP chemotherapy was 68%; PemC regimen was 54.8%. Stage IIIA-B and IIIC response to PeC regimen were 71.4% and 20%; EP regimens are 72.5% and 50%. Response to PeC regimen, age group above and below 60 was 57% and EP regimen responded 57% and 53%, respectively. Conclusion: The response rate was not statistically significant between the 2 chemotherapy regimens
