Abstract：
:Chemotherapy regimens based on platinum represent the reference standards in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and when it is associated with radiotherapy and/or surgery (combined treatment) it improves survival of patients. Aim of this study was to estimate the efficacy of chemotherapy, based on high-dose epirubicin plus cisplatin, associated with surgery and/or radiotherapy. Twenty-four inoperable NSCLC patients (15 pts in stage IIIb and 9 in stage IV) were treated with epirubicin (120 mg/m2) plus cisplatin (60 mg/m2), every three weeks for at least 3 cycles up to a maximum of 6. A total of 109 treatment cycles (epirubicin plus cisplatin) were administered and two of 24 patients achieved full response (CR), 9 showed partial response (PR), for an overall response rate of 45.8%, 8 patients (33.4%) achieved stable disease (SD) and 5 (20.8%) progressive disease (PD). Leukopenia aroses in 81.9% of the cycles, anaemia in 36.6% and thrombocytopenia in 14%. After chemotherapy, nausea/vomiting was present in 33.3% of patients, while in a small number of cases there were also mucositis, diarrhea, fever, phlebitis, transaminase increase and electrocardiographic anomalies. Upon entry, at the end of therapy patients underwent restaging (CT, bronchoscopy, bone scintiscan) to evaluate the possibility of surgical resection; 15 out of 24 patients completed treatment with radiotherapy (40-60 Gy) and then were re-evaluated for surgery. Five patients underwent complete surgical resection of the neoplasia (4 after chemotherapy and one after radiotherapy). After 1 year survival was 66.6% for all patients. Combined treatment in advanced NSCLC showed a good response and survival after 1 year.
