Impact of Chemotherapy Dose Reductions on Survival Outcomes Among Older NSCLC Patients Without Actionable Mutations

Sponsor: University of Malaya

Summary

Evidence suggests that appropriately selected older adults can tolerate standard-dose chemotherapy and achieve survival outcomes comparable to younger patients. However, older adults are usually under-represented in clinical trials and often receive reduced doses of chemotherapy due to concerns regarding age-related frailty, polypharmacy, and toxicity. This study seeks to evaluate chemotherapy dosing patterns and associated survival outcomes in older patients.
