PROGRESSION FREE SURVIVAL AND SOME FACTORS AFFECTING IN ADVANCED LUNG CANCER TREATED PEMBROLIZUMAB
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aims: Evaluation of progression-free survival time and some factors related to the time of progression-free survival in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with Pembrolizumab monotherapy. Research subject: 32 patients diagnosed with recurrent or metastatic NSCLC were treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy at K hospital from October 2017 to July 2020. Patients and Methods: Retrospective combined prospective study. Results: The mean PFS was 8,0±1,95 months. Higher PFS in male patients. Conclusion: pembrolizumab improves progression free survival and is related to gender.
