Abstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of γ-SBRT combinaed with targeted drug erlotinib on advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer. Methods Forty-two advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer patients were finally confirmed by pathohistological or cytological examination. All patients, after starting gamma knife radiosurgery, took orally targeted drugs erlotinib from August 2008 to August 2012,100-150 mg/d,1 hour before meal eating or 2 hours after meal, uninterrupted medication for at least 2 months. The efficacy and toxic reactions were evaluated after at least one month at the end of gamma knife radiosurgery. Results In 42 patients, the objective response rate reached 19.0%(8/42), the disease control rate reached 61.9% (26/42) , and the median time to disease progression was 5.2 months, the median survival time was 11.5 months. Major adverse effects were myelosuppression, lassitude and gastrointestinal tract reactions, most of which wereⅠ/Ⅱ degree with less being Ⅲ/Ⅳ degree. Conclusions The efficacy of γ-SBRT in combined with targeted drug erlotinib on advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer is acceptable and adverse effects are tolerable.
