Popis: 8565 Background: Standard of care therapy for LS- SCLC is concurrent chemo-radiation (CRT) with a platinum-etoposide backbone. Cisplatin is traditionally the preferred platinum agent in the curative intent setting. Data comparing the efficacy of the less toxic carboplatin to cisplatin in LS-SCLC are lacking. Methods: Data from the National VA Cancer Cube were collected. Pathologically confirmed cases of LS-SCLC that received concurrent CRT with platinum-based multiagent chemotherapy were included. Interval-censored Weibull and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to estimate median overall survival (OS) and hazard ratio (HR), respectively. Survival curves were compared by a Wald test. Results: 801 LS-SCLC patients who received carboplatin-based therapy (Carbo-SCLC) and 1018 who cisplatin-based therapy (Cis-SCLC) were included in the analysis. Median OS with Carbo-SCLC and Cis-SCLC were 2.13 years (95% CI 1.97-2.31) and 2.24 years (95% CI 2.09-2.4), respectively (HR=1.04;95% CI, 0.94-1.16; p=0.46). Subset analysis showed similar median OS for Carbo-SCLC and Cis-SCLC in patients with ECOG-PS of 0, 1 and 2, as well as patients in their 50s, 60s and >70. Multivariable regression analysis accounting for age and ECOG-PS shows a HR of 0.99 (95% CI 0.86-1.14; p=0.91). Conclusions: Concurrent CRT with carboplatin-etoposide was associated with similar OS compared to cisplatin-etoposide in LS-SCLC, irrespective of PS and age. Carboplatin’s advantageous toxicity profile and comparable OS indicate that it is an acceptable choice of platinum for LS- SCLC.[Table: see text]
