Abstract
Taxane-based chemotherapy now plays an important role in the first-line treatment on patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recent attention has been focused on the treatment of patients with NSCLC who failed to respond to taxane-based chemotherapy. In the present article, we report the effect of single-agent vinorelbine (VNR) in 10 patients with NSCLC previously treated with taxanes. An antitumor effect was observed in five patients, resulting in a response rate of 50.0% (5/10). The absence of vinca alkaloid pretreatment was an important factor in the clinical response in these patients. Further study is warranted to investigate the clinical efficacy of VNR monotherapy in taxane-resistant NSCLC patients.Entities:
