Maintenance treatment for metastatic adenocarcinomaMaintenance treatment for metastatic adenocarcinoma
Editor's comments
Maintenance treatment is entrenched in the management of metastatic adenocarcinoma, but the choice of regimen varies. GOs who use carboplatin/pemetrexed/bevacizumab are most likely to employ pemetrexed/bevacizumab as maintenance, as does Dr Wakelee. For those choosing the ECOG-E4599 regimen up front, including Dr Ramalingam, bevacizumab maintenance is the usual choice. Until the ongoing ECOG-E5508 trial confirms or refutes the suggestion from PointBreak of a benefit with combined maintenance with pemetrexed/bevacizumab, clinicians must rely on clinical judgment to make this complex decision. |
