摘要
Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on data from 370 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-resistant advanced colorectal cancer patients treated with oxaliplatin (Eloxatin®)/5-FU±folinic acid (FA) to identify prognostic factors for oxaliplatin-based treatment. The response rate was 14.6%(95%confidence interval (CI): 11.0–18.2%), median time to progression was 4.3 months (95%CI: 3.9–4.7), and median overall survival 9.7 months (95%CI: 8.5–10.8). Multivariate analysis indicated <2 prior chemotherapy regimens, bi-weekly treatment administration schedule (versus tri-weekly) and continuous chronomodulated delivery (CCM) as significantly associated (P<0.05) with a higher overall response rate. Performance status (PS) <2, having only one involved organ, biweekly schedule and CCM were associated (P<0.05) with a longer time to progression. Good PS, one involved organ, low alkaline phosphatase (AP) serum levels, bi-weekly schedule and CCM were significantly correlated with longer overall survival, while confirming the efficacy of oxaliplatin/5-FU±FA in this indication.
