Main Article Content
Abstract
Evaluation of tumor response and relationship between disease control rate and some factors in elderly patients with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma treated with Pemetrexed-Carboplatin regimen. Subjects and methods: retrospectively and prospectively, 37 patients were treated at the Military Central Hospital from January 2020 to March 2023. Results: mean age 67 ± 4.1 (60-74); male/female ratio = 2.7/1. Objective response rate was 35.1%; disease control rate was 59.5%. Conclusion: Pemetrexed-Carboplatin regimen for the treatment of elderly patients with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma gave a similar response rate to other regimens, similar to other age groups.
