Abstrakt: This meta-analysis was performed to compare the effects and toxicities between irinotecan/platinum ( IP) and etoposide/platinum ( EP) regimens as the fist-line treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (E- SCLC). A systematic search was made of MEDLINE, Cochrane, ISI Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. Randomised clinical trials on treatment of E- SCLC with the IP regimens, compared with EP regimens, were reviewed. Studies were pooled to hazard ratio ( HR), relative risk ( RR) and odds ratio ( OR), with 95% confidence interval ( CI). Eight trials (enrolling 2089 participants) met the inclusion criteria. Overall survival ( OS) and 1-year survival rate were superior in the IP group ( HR 0.83; 95% CI 0.75 to 0.91 and RR 1.19; 95% CI 1.06 to 1.34). Grades 3 and 4 anaemia, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and febrile neutropenia were less frequent in the IP regimens than that in the EP regimens. And grades 3 and 4 nausea/vomiting, diarrheal, anorexia and fatigue were less frequent in the EP regimens. IP combination chemotherapy achieved a superior OS and 1-year survival rate, compared with EP doublets, in patients with E- SCLC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
