Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate survival outcomes and to analyze prognostic factors affected to median overall survival of paclitaxel - carboplatin chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced/ metastatic non-small cell lung cancer resisted to first- and second- generations of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors without presence of T790M mutation at National Cancer Hospital from 01/2017 to 05/2022. This was a retrospective and prospective analysis of 55 patients with advanced/ metastatic metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma were diagnosed and treated at National Cancer Hospital from 01/2017 to 05/2022. Our study showed that a mean progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.39 ± 2.2 months (range, 2 - 30 months), median PFS was 5.0 months. Mean overall survival (OS) was 17.4 ± 2.3 months and a median OS was 16.9 months. The 1-year and 2-year OS were 68.3% and 35.1%, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that ECOG and the mean PFS of TKIs treatment were risk factors significantly affected mean OS. Paclitaxel - carboplatin chemotherapy is one of regimen choices for patients with non-small cell lung cancer after acquired resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors without presence of T790M mutation with a mean overall survival (OS) of 17.4 ± 2.3 months and a median OS of 16.9 months
