Abstract

Objective: Evaluating the survival outcomes and analyzing prognostic factors of recurrent/ metastatic pulmonary large cells neuroendocrine carcinoma patients treated with cisplatin plus etoposide chemotherapy at Vietnam National Cancer Hospital from 1/2018 to 10/2021. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study of 33 patients diagnosed of recurrent/ metastatic pulmonary large cells neuroendocrine carcinoma were treated with first-line Cisplatin plus etoposide chemotherapy at Vietnam National Cancer Hospital from 1/2018 to 10/2021. Results: Median progression-free survival was 5 ±0.61 months, median overall survival was 12 ±1.354 months. Patients diagnosed of £ 2 metastatic organs had a higer median OS than one with over 2 metastatic organs, 14.5 months versus 8.9 months, there was a significant difference between two groups with p=0.041. Median OS of patients presented with ECOG 0 and 1-2 were 15.8 months and 8.2 months, respectively and there was a report of a significant difference with p=0.048. Age, gender and smoking condition did not affect the overall survival. Conclusion: Cisplatin plus etoposide chemotherapy for recurrent/metastatic stages in large cell neuroendocrine lung carcinoma had a improvement survival outcome with a median of 12 ±1,354 months, and the number of metastatic organs and performance status were two factors affected survival outcome.
