Chemotherapy of stage IIIB and IV non-small-cell lung cancer

Abstract: Currently, lung cancer is a leading cause of death in men with more than half million new cases diagnosed every year. Eighty percent of these tumors are non-small-cell carcinoma and 70% of these are unresectable or metastatic at the time of presentation, resulting in dramatically poor survival rates. The increasing number of drugs showing a significant activity against non-small-cell lung cancer and the widespread use of modern cisplatin based regimens offer some hope of progress and suggest that chemotherapy … Show more

“…In order to improve further the activity for the new chemotherapeutic agents with significant activity in NSCLC, they most likely are to be combined with a platinum analogue, which has been the focus of several investigations (Sørensen, 1994;Cojean et al, 1995;Edelman et al, 1996). A review of vindesine in NSCLC covering accumulated data from eight randomized studies, including a total of 466 patients receiving vindesine + cisplatin, revealed 141 responding patients (30% response rate, 95% confidence limits 26-34%), with response rate in the individual studies ranging from 19% to 67% (Sørensen et al, 1993).…”

“…As part of determining a treatment plan, clinicians are encouraged to engage patients in shared decision making (SDM) about recommended options [8][9][10][11]. Treatment SDM is a patient-centered process in which the clinical team provides patients and caregivers with information about the diagnosis, prognosis, and available treatment options; elicits patient values related to recommended treatment alternatives; clarifies personal preference related to the options, and helps the patient choose an option that is consistent with personal goals and optimal clinical care [12].…”

“…Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide and the leading cause of cancer‐related death 1 . Approximately 85% of individuals with lung cancer have non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with 70% of NSCLC tumors being inoperable, locally advanced, or metastatic at diagnosis 2 . Molecular targeting agents such as epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR )‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), anaplastic lymphoma kinase ( ALK )‐TKIs, c‐ros oncogene 1 ( ROS1 )‐TKIs, and v‐raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 ( BRAF )‐TKIs have markedly improved progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with NSCLC who are positive for the corresponding genetic alterations 3‐7 .…”
