Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of Gemcitabine plus cisplatin regimens in advanced pancreatic cancer patients at K Hospital. Methods: This retrospective descriptive study analyzed. 32 advanced pancreatic cancer patients were treated with Gemcitabine plus cisplatin regimens. Overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed, and some factors predicting the effectiveness of chemotherapy regimens were identified. Results: From January 2020 to November 2018, 32 patients were enrolled in the trial. Response rate was 21.9%. Disease control rate was 40.7%. The median PFS and OS were 8.2 months and 10.9 months, respectively. The rate of hematologic and non-hematologic adverse effects was low, mostly grade 1 and 2 including anemia, leukopenia, Thrombocytopenia. These percentages were 78.2 %, 43.8%, 62.5%, respectively. Conclusion: First line gemcitabine plus cisplatin regimens for advanced pancreatic cancer patients was a safe and effective modality.
