Abstract

Subsequent therapies confound the ability to discern the effect of first‑line chemotherapy on overall survival (OS). We investigated whether progression‑free survival (PFS), post‑progression survival (PPS) and tumor response were valid surrogate endpoints for OS following first‑line chemotherapy in individual patients with advanced non‑small‑cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring sensitive epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutations. We retrospectively analyzed 35 patients with advanced NSCLC treated with first‑line gefitinib. The associations of PFS, PPS and tumor response with OS were analyzed. PPS was found to be strongly correlated with OS, unlike PFS and tumor shrinkage. The factors significantly associated with PPS were performance status (PS) after first‑line treatment, best response to second‑line treatment and number of regimens used after disease progression. PPS may be a surrogate for OS in this patient population and further therapy after disease progression following first‑line chemotherapy may significantly affect OS. However, a larger study is required to validate these results.
