Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the treatment results of a modified administration schedule of Docetaxel- Cisplatin in patients with metastatic esophageal cancer at in the period of 2018 and 2023. Patients and methods: Descriptive, retrospective study on 55 metastatic recurrence esophageal cancer patients treated with Docetaxel - Cisplatin from june 2018 to june 2023. Results: The response rate was 50.9%, in which the complete response rate was 3.6%, the partial response rate was 47.3%, and the clinical benefit rate was 80%. Median PFS was 5 months. The regimen was well tolerated, the most common side effect of the therapy was neutropenia, mainly in grades 2 or 3. Other side effects were mainly encountered in grades 1 or 2. Conclusion: Docetaxel-cisplatin chemotherapy regimen is tolerable and effective for metastatic esophageal cancer patients.
