| Popis | Background: Adjuvant cisplatinum-based chemotherapy is recommended in patients with stages IB (> 4 cm), IIA, IIB, and IIIA of non small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after radical resection. Vinorelbine with cisplatin are preferable drugs in this indication, but the side effects of this treatment were not negligible in big adjuvant trials. Carboplatin with vinorelbine given intravenously switched to orally were applied in a multicentre prospective study SWITCH I to give better comfort, higher tolerability and comparable effectivenes as standard adjuvant chemotherapy. The recruitment period started in January 12th, 2005 and lasted till September 5th, 2008. Conclusion: Adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatinum and vinorelbine given intravenously on the day 1 and orally on the day 8 in 21 day regimen appears to be a comfortable and tolerable therapy in radically resected NSCLC. It provides higher dose intensity and more of acomplished treatments compared to big adjuvant trials and LACE meta-analysis, in which these parametres varied between 50 % to 76 % only. Survival results are comparable to LACE (3-year survival 70,3% vs 64.3%), 5-year survival 56,2% vs 55.1%) and MOS 5.9 vs 5.15 y). |
