RESULTS OF DOCETAXEL STEP 2 CHEMOTHERAPY FOR LATE STAGE NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER AT NGHE AN ONCANCE HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the results of Docetaxel step 2 regimen in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: Clinical descriptive design, longitudinal follow-up on 59 patients treated at Internal Medicine Department 2, Nghe An Oncology Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023. Evaluation criteria were improvement in clinical symptoms (mechanical response) and RECIST criteria (physical response). Results: Cough symptoms decreased from 72.9% to 40.1%; Chest pain decreased from 83% to 55.9%; Shortness of breath and bone pain improved slowly. The rate of disease progression is 54%; The lowest is partial response, accounting for 15%; 31% of patients are stable. The average progression-free survival time was 7.6±3.0 (months), the average overall survival time was 13.6±6.9 months. Conclusion: Docetaxel is effective in the second-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
