摘要

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is recommended for the management of patients with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This prospective study aimed to compare the efficacy of concurrently delivered cisplatin doublets with paclitaxel, or docetaxel, or gemcitabine. %26lt;br%26gt;The main eligibility criteria consisted of previously untreated stage IIIB NSCLC. The subjects were randomized into three arms: paclitaxel 45 mg/m(2)/week (TP), docetaxel 20 mg/m(2)/week (DP), and gemcitabine 350 mg/m(2)/week (GP) in addition to cisplatin 20 mg/m(2)/week. Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy was given once daily, weekly 5 fractions and the total prescription dose was 60-66 Gy. The primary endpoint was response rate, and the secondary endpoints were survival and toxicity. %26lt;br%26gt;A total of 101 patients were recruited into this trial of whom 93 (TP: 33, DP: 29, GP: 31) patients were treated with CCRT from March 2005 to July 2007. Similar response rates were observed across arms: TP: 63.6 %, DP: 72.4 %, GP: 61.3 % (p = 0.679). There was no statistically significant difference of median survival (TP: 27.3, DP: 27.6, GP: 16.5 months, p = 0.771). In subgroup analysis, a survival benefit of consolidation chemotherapy was not seen, but leucopenia (63.2 %) and neutropenia (68.4 %) more than grade 3 were significantly high in DP arm. The grade a parts per thousand yen3 radiation esophagitis was more frequent in the GP arm (22.6 %, p = 0.163). %26lt;br%26gt;Among the three arms, no statistically significant difference in response rate, survival, and toxicity was observed. However, clinically significant radiation toxicity was more frequent in the GP arm.
