Abstract

The effect of age on hematologic toxicity caused by the combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line chemotherapy is investigated. Material and Method: The toxicity data of the 263 patients who were operated for gynecological malignancy and treated with paclitaxel/carboplatin as first-line chemotherapy was analyzed retrospectively. 175 mg/m² dose of paclitaxel was started first, afterwards carboplatin the dose of which was calculated with an AUC=6 was given. These sessions were performed every 21 days. Toxicity was evaluated according to World Health Organization criteria. Results: The mean age was 53.6 years, 52 patients’ ages were 65 or older. Thrombocytopenia, anemia and leukopenia were not observed in 75.7%, 17.1% and 9.1% of patients respectively. Primary site and stage were not correlated with the toxicity. Anemia was not observed in 19.9% of the young patient group, while this ratio was 5.8% in the older population. These ratios were 10% and 5.8% respectively for leukopenia. However, these differences were not statistically significant (respectively, p=0.103, p=0.124). The ratio of throm-bocytopenia was quite similar in both groups. Discussion: According to the results of this study, there is no significant correlation between the hematologic toxicity caused by paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy and age. Well-designed studies are required to clarify the relationship between the toxicity of chemotherapy and age.

Özet

Giriş: First-line paklitaksel/karboplatin kombinasyonu-nun neden olduğu hematolojik toksisite üzerine yaşın etkisi araştırıldı. Materyal ve Metot: Jinekolojik malignite nedeniyle opere edilmiş ve first-line olarak paklitaksel/karboplatin kemoterapisi verilmiş 263 hastaya ait toksisite verileri retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Kemoterapiye 175 mg/m² dozunda paklitakselle başlandı. Takiben AUC= 6’dan hesaplanan karboplatin verildi. Tedavi 21 gün arayla uygulandı. Toksisite Dünya Sağlık Örgütü kriterlerine göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Ortalama yaş 53,6 yıl olup, 52 hastanın yaşı 65 ve üzerindeydi. Hastaların %75,7’sinde trombositopeni, %17,1’inde anemi ve %9,1’inde lökopeni gelişmedi. Pri-mer odak ve evre hematolojik toksisiteyle ilişkili değildi. Genç grupta hastaların %19,9’unda anemi gözlenmez-ken, bu oran yaşlı grupta %5,8’di. Lökopenide bu oranlar sırasıyla %10 ve %5,8’ti. Ancak bu farklılıklar istatis-tiksel olarak anlamsızdı (sırasıyla p=0,103, p=0,124). İki grup gelişen trombositopeni oranı ve toksisitenin ciddiyeti açısından birbirine oldukça benzerdi. Tartışma: Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, paklitaksel/ karboplatin kemoterapisine bağlı olarak gelişen hema-tolojik toksisiteyle yaş arasında anlamlı bir ilişki yoktur. Ancak kemoterapi toksisitesinin yaşla ilişkisini anlaya-bilmek için iyi tasarlanmış çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
