Popis: Surgery remains the best curative treatment option for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but is of benefit only to patients with localized disease. A meta-analysis showed a significant beneficial effect of induction chemotherapy on survival, but there is still no clear evidence. This phase II study was conducted to establish whether induction chemotherapy with carboplatin (CBDCA) and paclitaxel (PTX) plus bevacizumab prior to surgery reduces the risk of progression. The subjects of this study were 29 patients with treatment-naive nonsquamous NSCLC (clinical stages IIIA to IV). Patients received PTX (200 mg/m2), CBDCA (area under the curve, 5), and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) followed by surgery. Chemotherapy was repeated every 3 weeks for up to six cycles. The overall response rate was 72.4%. Of the 29 patients, ten underwent surgery after the induction chemotherapy and complete resection was achieved in 7 (70%). The median progression-free-survival (PFS) time and the 3-year PFS rate were 0.92 years and 16.2%, respectively. The median overall survival (OS) time and the 3-year OS rate were 1.96 years and 44.9%, respectively. Combined modality therapy with surgery after induction chemotherapy with CBDCA and PTX plus bevacizumab is clinically feasible and tolerable for patients with unknown or negative molecular profiles.
