Main Article Content

Abstract

Objectives: Evaluating the result of afatinib in advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (IIIC, IV) in Hanoi Medical University.Patients and methods: Descriptive study of 34 patients with stage IIIC, IV NSCLC with EGFR mutations at Hanoi Medical University Hospital from 01/2018 to 6/2021. Results: the rate of Del19 and L585R mutations was 44.1% and 20.6%; stage IVB accounted for the highest rate (70%), 1 patient was diagnosed with a relapse. At the time of 8-12 weeks, the overall response rate reached 76.5%, the stable disease accounted for 20.6%, and only 2.9% of the disease progressed. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12.0 ± 3.1 months (5.9-18.0 months). There was no statistically significant difference in progression-free survival when analyzed with related factors such as gene mutation status, starting dose, adjusted dose, and optimal dose of afatinib. The most common toxicities were skin rash (35.3%), paronychia  (35.3%), and diarrhea (32.4%).
