Chemotherapeutic regimens are based on platinum agents such as [[cisplatin]], [[carboplatin]], [[oxaliplatin]], and [[satraplatin]]. Alternative regimens include [[paclitaxel]], [[gemcitabine]], or [[etoposide]]. Chemotherapeutic regimens are adjusted based on individual characteristics and body surface. The regimen adjustment according to tumor evolution has  demonstrated longer survival rates, optimal symptom control, and higher quality of life.

Overview

Chemotherapeutic regimens are based on platinum agents such as cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin, and satraplatin. Alternative regimens include paclitaxel, gemcitabine, or etoposide. Chemotherapeutic regimens are adjusted based on individual characteristics and body surface. The regimen adjustment according to tumor evolution has demonstrated longer survival rates, optimal symptom control, and higher quality of life.

Chemotherapeutic Regimens

Shown below is a table depicting the different choices of regimens for the initial or adjuvant chemotherapy of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The list of regimens has been adapted from the 2014 NCCN Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer guidelines.[1][2]

Cisplatin Based Therapy

Agent Recommended regimen
Cisplatin 50 mg/m2 + vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 Cisplatin on days 1 and 8, vinorelbine on days 1, 8, 15, 22 and every 28 days to a total of 4 cycles
Cisplatin 100 mg/m2 + vinorelbine 30 mg/m2 Cisplatin on day 1, vinorelbine on days 1, 8, 15, 22 and every 28 days to a total of 4 cycles
Cisplatin 75-80 mg/m2 + vinorelbine 25-50 mg/m2 Cisplatin on day 1, vinorelbine on days 1, 8 and every 21 days to a total of 4 cycles
Cisplatin 80 mg/m2 + vinorelbine 4 mg/m2 Cisplatin on days 1, 22, 43, 64, then every 21 days to a total of 4 cycles, vinorelbine on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, every 2 weeks after day 43 until the completion of cisplatin treatmet
Cisplatin 100 mg/m2 + etoposide 100 mg/m2 Cisplatin on day 1, etoposide through days 1 to 3 and every 28 days to a total of 4 cycles
Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 + gemcitabine 1250 mg/m2 Cisplatin on day 1, gemcitabine on days 1, 8 and every 21 days to a total of 4 cycles
Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 + docetaxel 75 mg/m2 Cisplatin on day 1, docetaxel on day 1 and every 21 days to a total of 4 cycles
Cisplatin 50 mg/m2 + pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 Cisplatin on day 1, pemetrexed on days 1 and every 21 days to a total of 4 cycles

Alternative Regimen

Paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 on day 1 + carboplatin area under the concentration (AUC) 6 on day 1 and then every 21 days.[2]
