| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined an association between treatment outcomes and Vulnerable Elders Survey-13 (VES-13), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) in 101 patients aged 65 years or older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who received carboplatin and pemetrexed as a first-line chemotherapy. In the Cox proportion hazards model including age, sex, disease stage, and performance status as covariates, VES-13 showed significant association with overall survival. Performance status, VES-13, and CCI had a significant association with progression-free survival. In the logistic regression analysis, performance status, MMSE, and CCI demonstrated a significant association with antitumor response. Age was not significantly correlated with any treatment outcome. These results suggest the importance of geriatric assessment in predicting treatment outcomes in elderly patients in advanced non-small cell lung cancer receiving a standard combination chemotherapy.
