In daily clinical practice second-line chemotherapy (SLCT) is frequently given to patients with advanced pancreatic cancer failing gemcitabine-based first-line chemotherapy without solid scientific support.
A retrospective survey was carried out including 42 patients. Patients received standard FOLFOX4 regimen biweekly until progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Six partial responses (14%) and 16 stabilizations (38%) were recorded for a tumor growth control rate of 57%. The median time to progression (TtP) was 4 months (range 1-7 months), and median overall survival (OS) was 6.7 months (range 2-9 months). A stabilization of performance status (PS) and a subjective improvement of cancer-related symptoms were recorded in 27 patients.
Data presented in this paper support the use of FOLFOX4 regimen in the second-line treatment of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas patients. The use of SLCT, however, should be carefully proposed to patients with good PS or those who had a good response to first-line therapy.
在日常临床实践中,对于吉西他滨一线化疗失败的晚期胰腺癌患者,常给予二线化疗(SLCT),但缺乏可靠的科学依据。
进行了一项回顾性调查,纳入42例患者。患者每两周接受标准的FOLFOX4方案治疗,直至病情进展或出现不可接受的毒性反应。
记录到6例部分缓解(14%)和16例病情稳定(38%),肿瘤生长控制率为57%。中位疾病进展时间(TtP)为4个月(范围1 - 7个月),中位总生存期(OS)为6.7个月(范围2 - 9个月)。27例患者的体能状态(PS)稳定,癌症相关症状有主观改善。
本文所呈现的数据支持FOLFOX4方案用于胰腺癌患者的二线治疗。然而,对于PS良好或对一线治疗反应良好的患者,应谨慎考虑给予SLCT。
