Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and cisplatin in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. 1981

J A Knost, and F A Greco, and K R Hande, and R L Richardson, and M F Fer, and R K Oldham

Fifty-four patients with non-small cell lung cancer were treated with a combination of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (CAP). A 35% response rate was seen, with a median survival of 380 days for the responders, compared to median survival times of 150 days for the nonresponders and 229 days for the group. Twenty-four percent of these patients had received prior treatment. All of the nonresponding patients had died by 438 days, whereas eight of 19 responders lived greater than 425 days. The survival curve the nonresponders was similar to that for a historical control group not given chemotherapy. These data indicate that this drug regimen has some efficacy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
