Purpose Docetaxel has shown activity in elderly patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This randomized phase III trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of docetaxel versus vinorelbine (the current standard treatment) in elderly patients. Patients and Methods Chemotherapy-naïve patients age 70 years or older with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC and performance status 2 or lower were eligible. Patients randomly received docetaxel 60 mg/m2 (day 1) or vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 (days 1 and 8) every 21 days for four cycles. The primary end point was overall survival. Overall disease-related symptom improvement was assessed using an eight-item questionnaire. Results In total, 182 patients were enrolled. Median age was 76 years (range, 70 years to 86 years). There was no statistical difference in median overall survival with docetaxel versus vinorelbine (14.3 months v 9.9 months; hazard ratio, 0.780; 95% CI, 0.561 to 1.085; P = .138). There was a significant difference in median progression-free survival (5.5 months v 3.1 months; P < .001). Response rates were also significantly improved with docetaxel versus vinorelbine (22.7% v 9.9%; P = .019). The most common grade 3 to 4 toxicities were neutropenia (82.9% for docetaxel; 69.2% for vinorelbine; P = .031) and leukopenia (58.0% for docetaxel; 51.7% for vinorelbine). Other toxicities were mild and generally well tolerated. Docetaxel improved overall disease-related symptoms over vinorelbine (odds ratio, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.09 to 3.20). Conclusion Docetaxel improved progression-free survival, response rate, and disease-related symptoms versus vinorelbine. Overall survival was not statistically significantly improved at this time. Docetaxel monotherapy may be considered as an option in the standard treatment of elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.

PURPOSE Here we report the results of a phase III study, to evaluate whether the addition of cisplatin to radiation therapy (XRT) would improve progression-free survival or overall survival for patients with locally advanced unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred forty patients with biopsy-proven unresectable NSCLC without distant metastases or lower-stage medically inoperable patients were randomized to one of two treatment arms. Arm A consisted of thoracic XRT alone, 60 to 65 Gy total tumor dose in daily fractions of 1.80 to 2.00 Gy; and arm B consisted of identical XRT with the addition of cisplatin 70 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for three cycles beginning on the first day of irradiation. RESULTS Two hundred fifteen patients were eligible and assessable. The overall response rate was 50% on the combination arm versus 38% on the XRT-alone arm (P = .076). The median progression-free survival time was 23 versus 22 weeks, respectively (P = .0537). The median survival time was 43 weeks on the combination arm versus 46 weeks on the XRT arm (Poverall = .3469). The 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates were 43%, 18%, and 5% on the combination arm versus 45% 13%, and 2% on the XRT arm, respectively. CONCLUSION Cisplatin, administered every 3 weeks, does not significantly improve response rate, progression-free survival, or overall survival when added to thoracic XRT for locally advanced unresectable NSCLC.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of peripheral naive and memory CD8+ and CD4+ T cells and other immune cells in patients with oligometastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing radiotherapy (RT). Methods: A total of 142 patients with oligometastatic NSCLC treated with RT were enrolled, and their blood samples were collected within 3 days before RT. Immune cells were identified by flow cytometry. Results: Patients with high levels of naive CD8+ T cells had longer overall survival (p = 0.004) and progression-free survival (p = 0.001) than those with low levels of naive CD8+ T cells. Multivariate analyses revealed that naive CD8+ T cells were independently correlated with overall survival (p = 0.019) and progression-free survival (p = 0.024). Conclusion: The results suggest that peripheral naive CD8+ T cells may be an independent prognostic indicator for patients with oligometastatic NSCLC undergoing RT.

Background/Aim. About 1.8 million new lung cancer cases are diagnosed in the world every year, and about 1.6 million cases are with fatal outcome. Despite improvements in treatment in previous decades, the survival of patients with lung cancer is still poor. The five-year survival rate is about 50% for patients with localized disease, 20% for patients with regionally advanced disease, 2% for patients with metastatic disease, and about 14% for all stages. The median survival of patients with untreated NSCLC in the advanced stage is four to five months and the annual survival rate is only 10%. The main goal of the research is to obtain and analyze the results of treatment with concomitant chemotherapy in terms of its efficacy and toxicity in selected patients with locally advanced inoperable non-small cell lung cancer. Methods. The study included data analysis of 31 patients of both sexes who were diagnosed and pathohistologically verified with NSCLC in inoperable stage III and were referred by the Council for Malignant Lung Diseases to the Radiotherapy Department of the Military Medical Academy for concomitant chemoradiotherapy treatment. Upon expiry of the three-month period from the performed radiation treatment, the tumor resonance was assessed on the basis of MSCT examination of the chest and upper abdomen according to RECIST 1.1 criteria (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors). According to the same criteria, progression-free survival (PFS) was also assessed every three months during the first two years, then every 6 months or until the onset of disease symptoms, as well as overall survival (OS). Result. The median progression-free survival is 13 months, and the median overall survival is 20 months. During and immediately after RT, 9 (29%) patients had a grade 2 or higher adverse event. Conclusion. The use of concomitant chemoradiotherapy in patients in the third stage of locally advanced inoperable non-small cell lung cancer provides a good opportunity for a favorable therapeutic outcome, with an acceptable degree of acute and late toxicity, and represents the standard therapeutic approach for selected patients in this stage of the disease.
