Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of irinotecan monotherapy as second – line treatment in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Patiensand methods: Descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal case study of 43 patients with advanced gastric cancer refactory to or progressive after first – line chemotherapy, treatmented with irinotecan monotherapy as second-line treament from 01/2019 to 06/2023 at Vietnam’s National Cancer Hospital. Results: The mean age was 62,3 ± 11,7 (36-81); female/male ratio was 1/1,15. The overall response rate (ORR) was 18,6%, the DCR was 55,8%. The mean progression - free survival (PFS) was 4,0 ± 0,58 months, the median progression-free survival was 3,0 months. Conclusion: In patients with advanced gastric cancer, irinotecan  monotherapy is a resasonable second-line treatment option.
