Abstract
OBJECTIVE
A retrospective analysis on carboplatin(CBDCA)/nanoparticle albumin-boundpaclitaxel(nab-PTX)combination chemotherapy was conducted in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC)to evaluate both the efficacy and toxicity based on age, treatment line, histology, and underlying diseases.
METHODS
A total of 27 patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC following surgery who receivedCBDCA /nab-PTX as first- andsecond -line combination chemotherapy, respectively, were investigatedfrom March 2013 to December 2015.
RESULTS
The overall response rate, median progressionfree survival, andmed ian overall survival of all patients were 37.0%, 5.5 months, and 11.4 months, respectively. With regard to toxicity, 3.7%and 14.8%of all patients had peripheral disorder and interstitial lung disease(ILD), respectively. Treatmentrelatedd eaths were not observed. No difference in the efficacy basedon age, treatment line, histology, andund erlying diseases was observed.
CONCLUSIONS
CBDCA/nab-PTX combination chemotherapy was safe for elderly patients and those with ILD. However, the occurrence of new interstitial lung lesions should be carefully considered.
