Abstract 2045
Background
Thymic carcinoma is one of the rare cancers with a poor prognosis if unresectable. There is no standard chemotherapy for thymic carcinoma since there are only single arm trials or small number of retrospective studies. Here, we retrospectively assessed the effectiveness of chemotherapy for thymic carcinoma treated at the National Cancer Center Hospital Japan.
Methods
Eligible patients had unresectable advanced thymic carcinoma and were treated with chemotherapy between January 2006 and March 2019. We assessed the overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and the response rate (RR). OS and PFS were assessed from the start of each treatment line, and of chemotherapy regimen, respectively.
Results
The total number of the subject was 79. As a first line chemotherapy, 72 patients were treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel (CbPx), and the others were treated with S-1 (n = 1), docetaxel (n = 1), and investigational drug (n = 2). Median PFS (mPFS) was 6.2 months and OS (mOS) was 38.9 months. Among 53 patients who received 2ndline chemotherapy, 31 patients received S-1, 5 patients received sunitinib, 3 patients received CbPx, with mPFS of 5.7 months, and mOS of 23.4 months. Among 36 patients who received 3rdline chemotherapy, 15 patients received sunitinib and 7 patients received S-1 with mPFS of 3.0 months, and mOS of 14.0 months. RR and mPFS of each regimens were as follows: CbPx (n = 76) 36.8%, 6.2 months, S-1 (n = 44) 25.0%, 4.1 months, and sunitinib (n = 28) 21.4%, 3.4 months.
Conclusions
This is the largest reported single institute retrospective experience of patients with advanced thymic carcinoma. The efficacy of commonly used chemotherapies was confirmed.
