Abstract

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy brings high efficacy in treating non-small cell lung cancer with a mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor. However, after a time of treatment, resistance is inevitable. Platinum-based chemotherapy is considered as standard treatment for TKIs resistant patients without any secondary acquired mutation. This is a cross-sectional descriptive retrospective study on 31 patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer harboring common EGFR mutation after resistance to TKIs then treated with platinum-based chemotherapy from January 2019 to June 2023 at K hospital. We describe the clinical and subclinical features and evaluate the effectiveness of platinum-based chemotherapy as follows: the study showed a mean age of 59.45 (29 - 73 yd). The male/female rate was 1.2/1. Bone and contralateral lung metastases got the highest rate at 38.7%; brain metastases occurred in 35.5% of all cases; liver metastases got the lowest rate at 12.9%. The overall response rate was 19.3%, disease control rate was 67.7%. Median disease-free survival was six months and median overall survival was ten months. The study showed platinum-based chemotherapy for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients after resistance to TKIs brought a high disease control rate and median overall survival.
