P2.02-026 - Individualized Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Resected Lung Cancer According to Collagen Gel Droplet-Embedded Culture Drug Sensitivity Test (ID 3959)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): T. Nojiri
- Abstract
Background:
The efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer cannot be assessed during the treatment, since there is no measurable lesion after surgical resection. We conducted a prospective clinical trial according to the results of drug sensitivity test with an aim to individualize adjuvant chemotherapy.
Methods:
Patients with resectable c-Stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer were registered between 2005 and 2010. Collagen gel droplet-embedded culture drug sensitivity test (CD-DST) was performed on fresh surgical specimen. The clinical utility and prognostic outcome of adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin/paclitaxel in patients who showed chemo-sensitivity on CD-DST were evaluated. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival, and the secondary endpoints were overall survival and adverse effects during chemotherapy.
Results:
Among 92 registered patients, 87 (p-Stage IB in 54, IIA in 4, IIB in 10, IIIA in 19) were eligible and were included in the analysis. All patients were followed up for more than 5 years. The median age was 66 years old. The success rate of CD-DST was 87% and chemo-sensitivity to carboplatin and/or paclitaxel was observed in 75% of patients. Adjuvant chemotherapy was completed in 70% and the 5-year disease-free and overall survival rates were 68% and 82%, respectively. The 5-year disease-free and overall survival rates in Stage II–IIIA patients were 58% and 75%, respectively. As for the adverse effects during adjuvant chemotherapy, grade 4 neutropenia was found in 13%. Figure 1
Conclusion:
Chemo-sensitivity could be evaluated using CD-DST after lung cancer surgery. CD-DST might contribute to individualized adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer.
