摘要: The aim was to investigate the efficacy of neoadjuvant docetaxel-cisplatin and identify prognostic factors for outcome in locally advanced stage IIIA (pN2 by mediastinoscopy) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In all, 75 patients (from 90 enrolled) underwent tumour resection after three 3-week cycles docetaxel 85 mg m-2 (day 1) plus cisplatin 40 or 50 (days 1 2). Therapy well tolerated (overall grade 3 toxicity occurred 48% patients; no 4 nonhaematological reported), with observed late toxicities. Median overall survival (OS) event-free (EFS) times were 35 15 months, respectively, who surgery; corresponding figures all enrolled 28 12 months. At years initiating trial therapy, 27 out (36%) alive free. 5-year follow-up, 60 65% had local relapse distant metastases, respectively. most common sites metastases (24%) brain (17%). Factors associated OS, EFS risk complete chemotherapy activity (clinical response, pathologic mediastinal downstaging). Neoadjuvant effective tolerable pN2 NSCLC, contributing significantly outcomes.
