Metastatic stage gastric cancer is a disease with a poor prognosis and the likelihood of achieving a cure in these patients is low. Treatment response to subsequent-line treatments is poor. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the folinic acid, fluorouracil and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) and paclitaxel+carboplatin regimens, which are used in subsequent lines of therapy in advanced-stage gastric cancer.
This study included 40 patients who have metastatic stage gastric cancer and received FOLFIRI or paclitaxel+carboplatin therapy in subsequent lines of therapy between 2017 and 2022. The data of the patients were analyzed retrospectively.
At diagnosis median age was 51 (23-88) years. The tumor was localized in the gastroesophageal junction in eight (20%) patients and in other gastric locations in 32 (80%) patients. At diagnosis, 75% (n=30) of the patients presented with the disease in the metastatic stage, while 25% (n=10) presented with stage II-III disease. Regarding the treatments received in the second and further lines of therapy, 18 (45%) patients received paclitaxel+carboplatin and 22 (55%) patients received a FOLFIRI regimen. Of these treatments, 67.5% (n=27) were given as the second line and 32.5% (n=13) were given as third-line therapy. The objective response rate (ORR) was 45.5% in the FOLFIRI arm compared to 16.7% in the paclitaxel+carboplatin arm (p=0.05). Both treatment arms had a median progression-free survival (PFS) of three months (p=0.82). The median overall survival (OS) time was seven months in the FOLFIRI arm compared to eight months in the paclitaxel+carboplatin arm (p=0.71). Side effects were similar between both treatment arms.
This study determined that FOLFIRI and paclitaxel+carboplatin treatments have similar OS, PFS, and side effect profiles in subsequent line treatment of gastric cancer. The FOLFIRI treatment regimen yielded a higher ORR.
转移性胃癌是一种预后较差的疾病,这些患者实现治愈的可能性较低。对后续治疗的反应较差。我们旨在研究亚叶酸钙、氟尿嘧啶和伊立替康(FOLFIRI)以及紫杉醇+卡铂方案在晚期胃癌后续治疗中的有效性。
本研究纳入了40例转移性胃癌患者,他们在2017年至2022年期间接受了FOLFIRI或紫杉醇+卡铂治疗作为后续治疗。对患者的数据进行回顾性分析。
诊断时的中位年龄为51(23 - 88)岁。肿瘤位于胃食管交界处的患者有8例(20%),位于其他胃部位置的患者有32例(80%)。诊断时,75%(n = 30)的患者处于疾病转移阶段,而25%(n = 10)的患者处于II - III期疾病。关于在二线及后续治疗中接受的治疗,18例(45%)患者接受了紫杉醇+卡铂治疗,22例(55%)患者接受了FOLFIRI方案治疗。在这些治疗中,67.5%(n = 27)作为二线治疗给予,32.5%(n = 13)作为三线治疗给予。FOLFIRI组的客观缓解率(ORR)为45.5%,而紫杉醇+卡铂组为16.7%(p = 0.05)。两个治疗组的中位无进展生存期(PFS)均为三个月(p = 0.82)。FOLFIRI组的中位总生存期(OS)时间为七个月,而紫杉醇+卡铂组为八个月(p = 0.71)。两个治疗组的副作用相似。
本研究确定FOLFIRI和紫杉醇+卡铂治疗在胃癌后续治疗中的总生存期、无进展生存期和副作用方面相似。FOLFIRI治疗方案产生了更高的客观缓解率。
