This trial will compare the efficacy of the docetaxel and gemcitabine combination versus monotherapy with gemcitabine as first-line treatment in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC
Docetaxel and gemcitabine are well known active agents in the treatment of NSCLC. The standard treatment of elderly patients with advanced NSCLC is monotherapy with a third generation agent. However, there are only few randomized trials evaluating a two drug combination specifically addressed to elderly patients. The role of comprehensive geriatric assessment in treatment efficacy and tolerance is an area of investigation
