Abstract (EN): Objective We aim to describe treatment patterns and overall survival (OS) among a Portuguese cohort of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods This study utilised a database held by IPO-Porto, Portugal's largest oncology hospital. Adult patients diagnosed with SCLC at IPO-Porto between January 2012 and June 2017, with follow-up to December 2017, were included. Patients were stratified into subgroups with limited disease (LD) or extensive disease (ED). Treatment analyses were performed from 2015 onwards. Results Overall, 227 patients diagnosed with SCLC (37 LD; 190 ED) were analysed. Median OS (interquartile range [IQR]) was 15.0 months (3.8-39.3) for LD-SCLC and 5.0 months (1.7-10.3) for ED-SCLC. Among 19 patients diagnosed with LD-SCLC from 2015 onwards, 12 (63.2%) received initial treatment with systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) +/- radiotherapy; 6 (31.6%) received best supportive care (BSC). Among 89 patients with ED-SCLC, 57 (68.5%) received SACT +/- palliative radiotherapy; 28 (31.5%) received BSC. For patients receiving platinum doublet chemotherapy (+/- radiotherapy), median OS (IQR) was not reached for LD-SCLC and 5.4 months (2.3-10.9) for ED-SCLC. Conclusion This real-world data analysis from a large Portuguese oncology hospital demonstrates a high disease burden for patients diagnosed with SCLC, particularly those with ED, and highlights a need for more effective therapies.
