Triplet Platinum-based Combination Sequential Chemotherapy Improves Survival Outcome and Quality of Life of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Abstract: Background: Maintenance chemotherapy is one strategy pursued in recent years with intent to break through the chemotherapy plateau for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, given the toxicity, platinum-based combinations are rarely given for this purpose. We carried out the present prospective study of triplet platinum-based combination sequential chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC to investigate if patients could tolerate and benefit from such intensive treatment.

“…Furthermore, nausea and vomiting lead to loss of appetite, which in turn affects physical functions (Bloechl-Daum, Deuson, Mavros, Hansen, & Herrstedt, 2006). Therefore, the frequency of physical symptoms has a tremendous impact on the physical, role, and cognitive functional domains of patients, which worsens their global QOL (Bloechl-Daum et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2012Chen et al, , 2008.…”

“…The combination of vinorelbine plus cisplatin (NP) is one of the standard regimens of advanced NSCLC patients in many counties; the response rates are 26~43 %, and the median survival is 81 1 months [5,6]. Furthermore, the efficacy of NP regimen is an alternative therapy for advanced NSCLC patients; however, the therapy remains dissimilar on different patients because therapeutic efficacy of the NP regimen was affected by drug resistance [7,8]. There may be many causes for this appearance including DNA repair capacity and other cellular pathways required for response to DNA damage or genetic polymorphism leading impressibility to patients treated with NP therapy [9,10].…”
