To evaluate the efficacy and safety of third-line chemotherapy (CTx) for patients with unresectable or recurrent gastric cancer (GC) refractory to S-1 with or without platinum and taxanes.
We retrospectively analyzed clinicopathological and survival data of 26 patients who underwent third-line CTx.
Irinotecan therapy (odds ratio=0.12, 95% confidence interval=0.02-0.38; p<0.01) and ≥2 cycles of third-line CTx (odds ratio=0.01, 95% confidence intervaI=0.01-0.11; p<0.01) were independent predictors of longer progression-free survival in multivariate Cox regression analysis. In 18 patients (69%) receiving irinotecan, the overall response rate was 11%, and the disease control rate was 44%. Median progression-free and overall survival were 3.5 and 11.3 months, respectively. Ten patients (56%) had grade 3-4 toxicities, which were managed.
Irinotecan therapy may become optimal and tolerated in the third-line setting to prolong progression-free survival by increasing the number of treatment cycles.
评估三線化疗(CTx)对 S-1 联合或不联合铂类和紫杉类药物治疗后不可切除或復發性胃癌(GC)患者的疗效和安全性。
我们回顾性分析了 26 例接受三线 CTx 的患者的臨床病理和生存数据。
在多因素 Cox 回归分析中,伊立替康治疗(优势比=0.12,95%置信区间=0.02-0.38;p<0.01)和三线 CTx 治疗≥2 个周期(优势比=0.01,95%置信区间=0.01-0.11;p<0.01)是无进展生存期延长的独立预测因素。在 18 例接受伊立替康治疗的患者中,总缓解率为 11%,疾病控制率为 44%。中位无进展生存期和总生存期分别为 3.5 个月和 11.3 个月。10 例(56%)患者发生 3-4 级毒性,经处理后可耐受。
伊立替康治疗可能成为三线治疗中的最佳选择,通过增加治疗周期数来延长无进展生存期,且患者可耐受。
