Abstract

Background: Background : Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common histologic form, leading causes of cancer death among masculine population. Half of CNPC was metastatic at diagnosis.
Aim : To report the epidemiologic, anatomoclinic profile, therapeutic protocols and results of a retrospective study of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) initially metastatic.
Methods : our retrospective study include patients with NSCLC histologically confirmed with inaugural metastasis collected from January 1999 to december 2012. We had analysed epidemiologic, anatomopathologic data (TNM 2009), therapeutic protocols and results in term of overall survival, median survival and event free survival. Results : 100 case of NSCLC have been collected, mea nage was 57 years (22 to 81) and sex –ratio was 4,6. The majority of cases (74%) had a good performance statut (PS ≤ 2). Pathologic analysis leads to 81 cases of adenocarcinoma (ADK), 16 epidermoid carcinoma. 34% was stager T4 and 31% N2. Metastasis was located to bone in 36 cases, pleural in 26 cases, controlateral lung 26 cases, adrenal gland 17 cases and brain in 13 cases. 82% of patients underwent polychemotherapy as first line of treatment based on regimens conteined platine with mean number of 4 cycles. We have observed 4% of complete response, 61 of partial response, 20% of stabilisation, and 15% of progression. A palliatif radiotherapy of bone or brain metastasis was performed in 38 % of cases. With a median follow-up of 71 months (12 to 130 months), mean survival was 11 months; overall survival (Kaplan-Meier) at 1, 3 and 5 years was respectively 44, 13 and 0 %.
Conclusion: Despite therapeutic progress in management of NSCLC, the prognosis of metastatic forms still reserved with a poor mean survival reported in litterature (12 years) valideted in our study. This push us to improve research mainly since advent of targeted therapy wich still a promising way in the management of these tumors
