Abstract

Patients with stage IIIA/IIIB squamous non‑small cell lung cancer (SqCLC) are particularly challenging to treat with a poor 5‑year survival rate and new treatment strategies are needed. In the present study, a retrospective, single‑center study was conducted to explore the efficacy and safety of Endostar combined with chemotherapy as the neoadjuvant treatment in patients with stage IIIA/IIIB SqCLC. A total of 27 patients with locally advanced SqCLC treated with Endostar combined with chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 at the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital (Hangzhou, China) were included. Short‑term efficacy, rate of surgical resection, long‑term outcome and adverse events were analyzed. After treatment with Endostar combined with chemotherapy, 37% of the patients underwent surgery and the radical resection rate was 90%. The objective response rate was 63% for the total population and 80% for patients who received surgery. Of note, 100% of the patients achieved disease control after treatment with Endostar combined with chemotherapy. In patients who underwent surgical resection, postoperative pathology showed that 100% of the patients achieved pathological downstaging. Furthermore, 1 (10%) patient showed a pathological complete response after surgery. The median progression‑free survival was 13.5 months and overall survival was 27.9 months for the total cohort. The most common adverse events (AEs) were anemia (69.4% of patients), followed by hypertension (29.6% of patients). Most of the AEs were grade 1‑2 and only 4 patients (14.8%) developed grade 3‑4 AEs. Endostar combined with chemotherapy was well‑tolerated and showed promising efficacy in patients with stage IIIA/IIIB SqCLC. Further prospective studies are warranted to explore its value as a neoadjuvant therapy.
