Abstract

Purpose:Concurrent
chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is a standard treatment for patients with unresectable
stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). An optimal chemotherapy regimen
with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy is not known. In this study, we
investigated the efficacy and toxicity of CCRT with carboplatin [area under
curve (AUC) 2] and paclitaxel (80 mg/m2
) during CCRT.

Materials and Methods:We
performed a retrospective survival analysis using
medical records of 40 patients with
inoperable stage III NSCLC that were treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy
with carboplatin-paclitaxel (AUC 2, 60 mg/m2).

Results:The median
patient age was 62 years (range: 40–77 years) and 36 patients (90%) were men.
The European Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score was 0 in 23
patients (57.5%). The most common histopathology was adenocarcinoma, which was
diagnosed in 18 patients (45%). There were 12 stage IIIA patients (30%) and 28
stage IIIB patients (70%). The median follow-up time was 22.5 months [95%
confidence interval (CI), 2.9–72.2]. Median disease-free survival (DFS) and
overall survival (OS) were 22.5 months (95% CI, 18.1–27.0) and 53.5 months (95%
CI, 23.5–82.8). Grade 3-4 hematological and non-hematological toxicities were
seen in 8 (20%) and 5 (12.5%) patients, respectively.

Conclusion:This study showed that
CCRT with weekly carboplatin-paclitaxel provides similar outcomes to cases in
the literature and the regimen seems to be feasible with a low rate of grade
3-4 toxicity during CCRT of non-operable stage III NSCLC.

Abstract

Amaç: Eşzamanlı kemoradyoterapi (KRT) cerrahi tedaviye uygun olmayan lokal ileri evre Küçük Hücreli Dışı Akciğer Kanseri (KHDAK) tanılı hastalar için standart bir tedavi yöntemidir. KRT için optimal bir kemoterapi rejimi tanımlanmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, karboplatin  (AUC 2)  ve paklitaksel (80 mg / m2) ile kombine KRT tedavisinin etkinliği ve toksisitesini araştırdık.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma hastane bazlı retrospektif gözlemsel vaka seri çalışması olarak tasarlanmıştır. İnoperabl evre III KHDAK'li toplam 40 hasta haftalık karboplatin-paklitaksel ile eş zamanlı kemoradyoterapi ile tedavi edildi.

Bulgular: En sık görülen histopatoloji, 18 hastada (% 45) teşhis edilen adenokarsinomdu. 12 hasta (% 30) evre IIIA ve 28 hasta (% 70)  evre IIIB idi. Ortanca takip süresi 22.5 ay idi [% 95 (CI), 2.9-72.2]. Medyan hastalıksız sağkalım (DFS) ve genel sağkalım (OS) 22.5 ay (% 95 CI, 18.1–27.0) ve 53.5 ay (% 95 CI, 23.5-82.8) idi. Hastaların 8'inde (% 20) ve 5'inde (% 12.5) sırasıyla  grade 3-4 hematolojik ve non-hematolojik toksisite izlendi.

Sonuç: Bu çalışma, haftalık karboplatin-paklitaksel ile KRT'nin literatürdeki vakalara benzer sonuçlar verdiğini ve inoperable evre III KHDAK' de KRT sırasında düşük dereceli 3-4 derece toksisite ile uygulanabilir olduğunu gösterdi.
