Abstract

Background: Chemotherapy of advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without driver mutations is mainly platinum - based chemotherapy, the current regimens achieve nearly the same effectiveness with 4 - 6 cycle of chemotherapy; pemetrexed with less toxicity, so after 4 - 6 cycles of platinum - based induction chemotherapy it can be maintained until intolerant side - effects or progessive disease. This study evaluate the response and toxicity of platinum - pemetrexed algorithm in patients with stage IV non squamous cell, non small cell lung cancer at Thong Nhat Hospital’s Oncology Department.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was carried out in patients with stage IV non squamous cell, non small cell lung cancer at Thong Nhat Hospital’s Oncology Department between 2016 and 2019.

Results: In 3,5 years 2016 and 2019, retrospectively 36 cases using pemetrexed + platinum chemotherapy was divided into 2 groups including 20 patients on first - line treatment and 16 patients on second - line treatment, overall response rate was 52.8%; median duration of response was 11.7 cycles; median progression - free survival 7.1 months; (median overall survival in this population was 15.8 months; overall 1 - year survival rate was 66.7%.

Conclusion: Pemetrexed is effective and safe even in patients with a high performence status (PS). Treatment with pemetrexed improved subjective as well as objective symptoms, prolonged duration of response, and alleviated symptoms. Anemia is a common side effect despite prevention of anemia before treatment.
