摘要: PURPOSEHere we report the results of a phase II study teniposide, one most active drugs against small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), in patients with brain metastases.PATIENTS AND METHODSPatients SCLC who presented metastases at diagnosis (n = 11) or during follow-up evaluation after treatment 69) were treated teniposide dose 150 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1, 3, and 5 3-week intervals an outpatient setting. Response was evaluated by computed tomography (CT) two, six, 12 courses.RESULTSIn 26 80 assessable patients, intracranial response seen, rate 33% (95% confidence interval, 22% to 44%). The median duration 5.4 months for complete (CR) 4.2 partial (PR). Patients required corticosteroids peritumoral edema had significantly lower than did not receive corticosteroids. Neurologic function th...
