Abstract
Objective: To assess the overall response rate (ORR), the progressive-free survival (PFS) and the overall survival (OS) for the first-line gefitinib in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC patients and common side effects. Subject and method: 58 NSCLC patients, adenocarcinoma type, EGFR positive, stage IIIB/IIIC/IV were treated with first-line Gefitinib from July 2015 to July 2020 at Bach Mai hospital. Restrospective study. Result: PFS and OS of the subgroups were recorded to assess the response to the target treatment. Results showed that ORR is 75.9%, median PFS and OS are 12.5 months and 21.5 months, respectively. Common side effects are skin rash with rate of 65.5%; most cases were at grade 1 or 2. Conclution: First-line gefitinib has good treatment effectiveness and can prolong the survival of the advanced NSCLC patients haboring sensitive EGFR mutations. Side effects are negligible.
