Time to give a rest to cetuximab in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma?
2018
Chemotherapy with a platinum-based doublet has long been the cornerstone of the treatment for advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) (1). Since the early 2000s, several driver gene mutations and translocations have been discovered, giving rise to the possibilities of targeted therapies (2-4).
Clinical assessment of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer eligible for second-line chemotherapy
2010
Purpose: Knowledge of prognostic factors for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients eligible for second-line treatment is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic role of a number of routinely collected clinical variables and to provide a summary index to discriminate patients according to probability of survival.Methods: individual data from nine randomised trials of second-line treatment in advanced NSCLC were analysed. Primary end-point was overall survival (OS). Cox model, stratified by trial, was used for multivariate analyses, and a prognostic index was provided and validated according to an internal/external procedure.Results: Out of 1239 patients, 119…
