Nsclc kras wild adeno iv. seems taxol (paclitaxel) + carboplatin (+erbitux) weekly instead of 3 weekly has min side efex. so why recommend every three weeks?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Clinical trials : Most physicians use 3 week Carboplatin and paclitaxol therapy for adenocarcinoma nsclc. This is mostly due to clinical trial data supporting the every 3 week regimens. Neuropathy is typically greater with weekly treatments. I usually will use Erbitux in combination with Cisplatin Navelbine (vinorelbine) based on clinical studies. Ask your physician because chemo choices are sometimes related to comorbid disease.
