    Background: We aimed to investigate the impact of adjuvant systemic therapy with modern chemotherapy combinations on survival outcomes in patients with resected liver-confined metastases from colorectal carcinomas, and whether addition of bevacizumab (BEV) provides further benefit. Methods: A total of 229 consecutive patients who underwent resection for liver-confined colorectal liver metastases were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Of 229 patients, 204 who received chemotherapy with fluoropyrimidine-based (n = 27), irinotecan-based (n = 84) and oxaliplatin-based (n = 93) combinations were analyzed. Among these, 87 patients received BEV while 117 did not (NoBEV). With a median follow-up of 27 months after metastasectomy, the median recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival OS) were 17 and 53 months, respectively. OS rates at 3 and 5 years were 71% and 40%, respectively. No significant differences were found in the median RFS (p = 0.744) and OS (p = 0.440) among different chemotherapy regimens. The median RFS (p = 0.375) and OS (p = 0.251) were similar in BEV and NoBEV arms. In multivariate analysis, having 4 liver metastases was the only negative independent factor on both RFS and OS, while positive surgical margin was another negative independent factor for RFS. Conclusion: Chemotherapy type and addition of BEV have no impact on both RFS and OS in the adjuvant setting following complete resection of colorectal liver metastases. Copyright (C) 2012 S.

    Aims. To evaluate activity and toxicity of cisplatin plus docetaxel combination in the first-line treatment of chemotherapy-naive patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Patients and methods. Between October 2004 and July 2008, 186 patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer treated with first-line cisplatin plus docetaxel were retrospectively evaluated in 7 centers. The chemotherapy schedule consisted of cisplatin, 75 mg/m(2) iv infusion, and docetaxel, 75 mg/m(2) iv infusion on day 1, every 3 weeks. Results. Median age was 56 years (range, 28-75). Eighteen patients (9.7%) were females and 168 (90.3%) were males, with a median ECOG performance status of 1 (range, 0-2). A total of 833 cycles of chemotherapy was administered (median, 4 cycles; range, 1-6). Two patients (1.1%) achieved clinical complete response, 77 patients (41.4%) partial response, and 66 patients (35.5%) stable disease. Median time to disease progression was 6 months (95% CI, 5.54-6.46). Median overall survival was 14.6 months (95% CI, 11.47-17.73). One- and 2-year overall survival was 55.2% and 19.7%, respectively. The most common grade 3-4 hematological toxicities were neutropenia (n = 32, 17.2%) and anemia (n = 4, 2.2%). Conclusions. The cisplatin plus docetaxel combination was effective and safe in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Free full text available at www.tumorionline.it
