P2.02-030 - Consolidation Chemotherapy Following Concurrent Chemoradiation for Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Brazilian Multicentric Cohort (ID 4670)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): G. Madeira
- Abstract
Background:
Locally advanced stage III grossly accounts for 25% newly diagnosed non-small cell lng cancer (NSCLC) cases. Albeit some patients (pts) are amenable to surgical resection, most will be treated with concurrent chemoradiation (CRT), whilst the addition of consolidation chemotherapy (CC) is still a debatable topic. We decided to look into the impact of CC in stage III NSCLC Brazilian pts treated in the daily clinical practice.
Methods:
We retrospectively collected data of stage III NSCLC pts treated in five different Brazilian cancer institutions from Jan/2007 to Dec/2011, whom have received CRT followed or not by CC. Eligible pts were ≥18yo and must have been treated with cisplatin or carboplatin plus etoposide, paclitaxel or vinorelbine, concurrently with thoracic irradiation (RT). Patients treated with surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy were excluded. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) from the date of diagnosis. Association between CC and clinical variables and demographics were evaluated by Pearson´s Chi-square test (Χ²). Survival curves were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate analysis were made using Cox proportional model (CPM). P-values<0.05 were deemed statistically significant.
Results:
We collected data from 165 pts. Median age was 60yo (range: 27-79) and most pts were male (69.1%), Caucasian (77.9%), current or former smoker (93.3%), and staged as IIIB (52.7%). Adenocarcinoma was the most common histologic type (47.9%). Weight loss>5% and ECOG-PS 2 were observed in 39.1% (n=61) and 14.6% (n=24), respectively. Median follow-up was 25 mo. CC was administered to 27 pts. The only variable associated with CC was T stage (Χ²(4) = 11.410, p=0.022), with more T3 tumors receiving CC than expected. We observed no statistically significant difference in OS between patients treated or not with CC (p=0.211), although 3-year OS rate was numerically higher in CC pts (40% vs. 31%). Median OS in was 24 and 25 months in CC and no CC groups, respectively (HR 1.408, 95%CI 0.814-2.434). A total delivered RT dose ≥ 61Gy was the only variable independently associated with improved survival (HR 0.617, 95%CI 0.419-0.909, p=0.012).
Conclusion:
CC did not improve OS in stage III NSCLC patients after concurrent CRT. RT dose < 61 Gy negatively impacted OS.
