Résumé

Platinum doublet is the standard chemotherapy regimen for unresectable nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without a driver mutation. However, for squamous cell lung cancer, the most effective cytotoxic regimen is not yet established. Combination therapy of gemcitabine with a platinum agent is a highly effective treatment among the platinum doublet regimens and is promising as a treatment for advanced squamous cell lung carcinoma. In this study, we prospectively evaluated the efficacy of gemcitabine + platinum combination therapy followed by maintenance gemcitabine monotherapy in untreated advanced squamous cell lung cancer. Patients with squamous cell lung cancer received four cycles of gemcitabine + platinum combination therapy every 3 or 4 weeks. After the induction therapy, gemcitabine maintenance therapy was administered every 3 or 4 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Of 18 patients enrolled, the median progression-free survival was 3.9 months. Only six patients received maintenance chemotherapy with gemcitabine. The median survival time of all enrolled patients was 18.1 months. Cytopenia of any grade occurred in at least 70% of the enrolled patients. However, severe adverse events were observed in only a few cases. Gemcitabine maintenance therapy after gemcitabine plus platinum agents is a suggested treatment for unresectable squamous cell lung cancer. While the overall toxicity profile of this therapy is acceptable, attention should be paid to bone marrow suppression.
