Popis: 7122 Background: Primary goals of therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (ANSCLC) are an increased survival time, palliation of symptoms, and prolonged time to progression (TTP). This study was designed to explore if ANSCLC patients (pts) with ECOG PS 2 and age ≤65 years could benefit from systemic chemotherapy with acceptable toxicities. Methods: Fifty-nine eligible pts with stage IIIB (effusion) or stage IV NSCLC were registered on study. Patients received docetaxel (Taxotere®) 35 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC=2 on Days 1, 8, 15 every 28-day cycle (maximum 8 cycles). Endpoints were 1-year survival, tumor response, TTP, and safety. Results: Among the 59 eligible pts, 1 never received study drug, 58 pts were evaluable for safety, and 49 for response; 9 pts were non-evaluable due to: palliative XRT (1), withdrawal of consent (2), toxicities (1 each; dyspnea, weakness, allergy to study drug) and other illness (3). Responses were: 1 CR (2%), 5 PR (10%), 22 SD (45%), and 21 PD (43%). The 1-year survival ...
