654 Background: Panitumumab and cetuximab can be used in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and these drugs are IgG2 fully human and IgG1 chimeric (mouse/human) monoclonal antibody against the epidermal growth hactor receptor (EGFR) respectively. The efficacy of panitumumab as a salvage chemotherapy after cetuximab-based chemotherapy failure is not clarified. Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the panitumumab efficacy to KRAS wild-type mCRC patients who failed cetuximab-based chemotherapy. Response, progression-free survival (PFS) and serum tumor marker level (CEA and CA19-9), were assesed. We studied response by days from last cetuximab-based chemotherapy to panitumumab induction (C-P days). Results: 22 patients (11 men, 11 women, median age 54 years m4 0-78 n) were enrolled. All of thease patients were cetuximab-based chemotherapy refractory KRAS wild-type mCRC. After progression, they received panitumumab monotherapy (6 mg/kg every 2 weeks).The best response was SD 10/22 (45.5%), PD 11/22 (50%) and NE 1/22 (4.5%). Overall median PFS was 90 days (13 to 182). The patients C-P days less than 30 days were 15 patients(5:SD, 10:PD). The patients more than 79 days were 7 patient(5:SD, 1:PD, 1:NE). Serum tumor marker level was decreased more than 50% patients. Conclusions: This study suggested that it might be limited as possibility of clinical benefit with panitumumab administration after cetuximab failure.

Objective: This study aims to explore the clinical value of systemic chemotherapy combined with bronchoscopic seed implantation in advanced lung cancer treatment. Methods: The study enrolled 253 patients with advanced lung cancer in Cangzhou People’s Hospital from March 2018 to March 2020, and they were divided into test group and control group. Test group was given systemic chemotherapy combined with bronchoscopic seed implantation, while control group was given systemic chemotherapy. The objective response rate of tumor (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), serum tumor marker level, survival time and adverse reactions of 2 groups were compared. Results: After treatment, the levels of serum tumor markers including carcino-embryonic antigen, neuro-specific enolase, cytokeratin-19 and pro-gastrin-releasing peptide were markedly decreased in test group compared with those in control group ( P < 0.05). Therein, the serum tumor marker level of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients was significant decreased compared with that of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients in test group. Meanwhile, in test group, the serum tumor marker level of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients was significant decreased compared with that of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC, P < 0.05). The ORR and DCR in test group were superior to those in control group (63.4%, 92.5% vs 38.7%, 72.3%, P < 0.05), while those were much higher in patients with NSCLC and LUAD relative to those in patients with SCLC and LUSC, respectively ( P < 0.05). Furthermore, the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in test group were significantly greater than those in control group. In test group, the PFS and OS of patients with NSCLC and LUAD were higher than those of patients with SCLC and LUSC. Conclusion: The efficacy of systemic chemotherapy combined with bronchoscopic seed implantation was superior to that of systemic chemotherapy, which is worthy of promoting in clinical practice.
