Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate survival outcomes and analyze prognostic factors in 65 patients recurrent/ metastatic squamous cell lung cancer and received first-line paclitaxel - carboplatin chemotherapy at National Cancer Hospital from 01/2017 to 05/2022. This was retrospective study conducted from 01/2017 to 05/2022. The results showed that the average progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.89 ± 1.5 months and the median PFS was 4.6 months. The average overall survival (OS) was 13.2 ± 1.1 months and the median OS was 11.2 months. The 1-year OS rate was 54.8%. Survival is significantly associated with the patient’s condition before treatment. Recurrent/metastatic squamous cell lung cancer typically has poor prognosis with low progression-free survival and overall survival.
