Abstract

There is controversy regarding palliative chemotherapy for large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC). We evaluated whether advanced LCNEC should be treated similarly to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The clinical reports and tumor specimens of 45 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with advanced LCNEC were reviewed. They were divided into SCLC (n=11) and NSCLC regimen groups (n=34) according to first-line chemotherapeutic regimens. Most patients were male (96%) and smokers (93%) with a median age of 64 years. Neuroendocrine differentiation was established in 42 (93%) tumors by immunohistochemical analyses. Regarding the efficacy of first-line chemotherapy in the SCLC and NSCLC regimen groups, the response rates were 73% and 50% (P=0.19), and the median progression-free survival times were 6.1 and 4.9 months (P=0.41), respectively. The difference in overall survival between the two treatment groups was 7.3 months (16.5 vs. 9.2 months, P=0.10). There was also a considerable difference in the type and efficacy of salvage chemotherapeutic regimens between the two groups: salvage regimens with irinotecan, platinum, or taxanes were commonly used with relatively high objective responses in t...Continue Reading
