A phase II study of carboplatin and paclitaxel as first line chemotherapy in elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

2006

Introduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of tumour-related deaths in the elderly population but the optimal management of advanced NSCLC in older patients has not been defined to date. The present phase II study was planned to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of the combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC. Patients and methods: Patients (>70 years old) who had pathologically been proven to have a NSCLC and measurable lesions were treated with paclitaxel (175 mg/m2for 3 h) and carboplatin [area under the concentration-time curve (AUC = 5)] on day 1 every 3 weeks. Results: Forty patients were enrolled into the study. The median age was 74 year…

Does large NGS panel analysed using exome tumour sequencing improve the management of advanced non-small-cell lung cancers?

2020

Abstract Introduction Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common and deadly cancers. Several molecular drivers of oncogene addiction are now known to be strong predictive biomarkers for target therapies. Advances in large Next Generation Sequencing (LNGS) have improved the ability to detect potentially targetable mutations. However, the integration of LNGS into clinical management in an individualized manner remains challenging. Methods In this single-center observational study we included all patients with advanced NSCLC who underwent LNGS. Somatic and germline exome analysis was performed with a restriction on 323 cancer related genes. Variants were classified and Molecu…

Staging small cell lung cancer: Veterans Administration Lung Study Group versus International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer--what limits l…

2002

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is usually classified into a two-stage system, limited (LD) and extensive disease (ED). However, the criteria for these two categories remain controversial. The widely used Veterans Administration Lung Study Group (VALG) definition of LD includes patients with primary tumor and nodal involvement limited to one hemithorax. In contrast, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) recommends that LD should additionally include all patients without distant metastasis. As a consequence, since treatment modalities for LD and ED could be different, individual clinical outcome of SCLC patients may be influenced by the staging system chosen. Among…

Outcomes of Patients With Advanced NSCLC From the Intergroupe Francophone de Cancérologie Thoracique Biomarkers France Study by KRAS Mutation Subtypes

2020

Abstract Introduction KRAS mutations are detected in 20% to 30% of NSCLC. However, KRAS mutation subtypes may differently influence the outcome of patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods In the Biomarkers France study, 4894 KRAS mutations (26.2%) were detected in 4634 patients from the 17,664 enrolled patients with NSCLC. Survival and treatment data on noncurative stage III to IV NSCLC were available for 901 patients. First- and second-line treatment effects on progression-free survival and overall survival were analyzed according to the KRAS mutations subtype. Results Over 95% of patients with KRAS mutation were smokers or former smokers who were white (99.5%), presenting with adenocarcinoma…
