ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONCURRENT CHEMORADIOTHERAPY WITH CISPLATIN AND ORAL VINORELBINE IN STAGE III NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: The aims of our study were to evaluate the response rate, progression-free survival (PFS) and tolerate of concurrent chemoradiotherapy of Cisplatin-Vinorebine(oral) regimen in stage III non-small-cell lung cancer patients. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 48 patients with stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (according to the AJCC 2017 classification) who had a good performance status (PS of 0-1) at National cancer hospital and Nghe An oncology hospital. These patients were treated with a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy, consisting of Cisplatin and oral Vinorelbine. Result: Mean of age is 60,32; Male/Female rate is 42/6. The overall respone rate was 58,3% and the median PFS was 8,2 months. On multivariate analyses, prolonged radiation treatment time of more than 14 days and adenocarcinoma pathology were 2 independent factor that decrease respond rate. Prolonged radiation also associated with a decreased PFS. Common toxicities are leukopenia (54,2%), pneumonia(45,8) and post-radiation dermatitis (54,2%), most of which are grade 1,2. Summary: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with regimen of Cisplatin and oral Vinorelbine for patients stage III NSCLC elicited favorable response rates and progression-free survival outcomes.
