C.1 TRATAMIENTO MULTIMODAL:

Los pacientes con buen PS, enfermedad estadío I-III y sin contraindicación por sus comorbilidades, son candidatos a tratamiento multimodal (Cirugia +/-RT +/-Quimioterapia). Los pacientes con enfermedad ST IV, mal PS o con variedad sarcomatoide no son candidatos a cirugía y en ellos se valorará mejores cuidados de soporte +/- quimioterapia.

C.2 CIRUGIA

La elección del tipo de cirugía, es controversial ya que no se dispone de datos provenientes de estudios con grupos adecuadamente aleatorizados y las recomendaciones se hacen en base a publicaciones provenientes de grupos de consenso, quienes han obtenido la información a partir de análisis retrospectivos, series individuales y de una revisión sistemática. La ausencia de estudios comparativos no permite concluir que la cirugía mejore la supervivencia cuando se le compara con quimioterapia.

C.3 QUIMIOTERAPIA

La quimioterapia está indicada en pacientes con buen PS y no candidatos a cirugía o como parte del tratamiento multidisciplinar (neoadyuvante o adyuvante) o en pacientes con variedad sarcomatoide. Estos datos están recogidos en una revisión sistemática y guía práctica

C.3.1 QUIMIOTERAPIA DE PRIMERA LINEA

C.3.1.1 QUIMIOTERAPIA DE PRIMERA LINEA CON PLATINO

El esquema estándar es cisplatino/pemetrexed. Ha demostrado beneficio en la supervivencia y es la única pauta aceptada por la FDA. Una alternativa al cisplatino es el Carboplatino

C.3.1.2 PRIMERA LINEA SIN PLATINO (MONOTERAPIA)

Es una opción para pacientes con estado general sub-optimo o comorbilidades que contraindiquen el uso de los derivados del platino

C.3.2 QUIMIOTERAPIA DE SEGUNDA LINEA

Hay muy pocos datos en segunda línea. Un estudio fase III, un fase II y un análisis post estudio de un fase III señalan, respectivamente, que pemetrexed, gemcitabina y vinorelbina son opciones a tener en cuenta.

C.4 RADIOTERAPIA

C.4.1 COMO PARTE DE UNA POLITERAPIA

No existe un consenso respecto al momento de su integración en una terapia multimodal aunque varios estudios fase II y series de casos han demostrado una disminución en la tasa de recidivas locales después de una manipulación quirúrgica.
