THE EFFICACY OF SECOND-LINE GEMCITABINE IN PATIENTS WITH PLATINUM-COMBINE FAILURE STAGE IV NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of second-line gemcitabine in patients with platinum-combine failure stage IV non- small cell lung cancer. Materials and methods: Descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal study follow-up of 60 patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who received first-line chemotherapy with platinum-based chemotherapy with or without maintenance therapy. The disease progressed according to RECIST criteria and received second-line treatment with gemcitabine at National Cancer Hospital during the period from January 2020 to August 2023. Results: The mean age was 60,9 ± 8.5 (40-77); male/female ratio was 5,5/1; smoking ratio was 68,3%. The overall response rate (ORR) was 20%, the DCR was 58,3%. The mean progression-free survival (PFS) was 3,95 ± 3,51 months, the median progression-free survival was 2,75 months. Conclusion: Second-line gemcitabine is an option in patients with advanced stage lung cancer after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy regimen with good response rate and disease control rate.
