Abstract
Background: Randomized phase 3 trial of cisplatine/pemetrexed (CDDP/PEM) combination chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comparing with cisplatine/gemcitabine (CDDP/GEM) combination chemotherapy revealed to be non-inferiority for efficacy with less toxicity. Also, in the subgroup analysis for non-squamous cell carcinoma (non-SQ), the CDDP/PEM group was significantly better for response rate and overall survival in comparison to the CDDP/GEM group. Currently, CDDP/PEM combination chemotherapy is one of the standard chemotherapy for advanced non-SQ NSCLC.
