dc.description.abstractPurpose: To assess the efficacy of oral glutamine (Gin) supplementation on clinical and survival outcomes of patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). Materials/methods: Between 2010 and 2014, 122 stage III NSCLC patients were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received curative intent chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Prophylactic oral Gln powder was applied at a dose of 10 g tid. Effect of oral Gln supplementation in the prevention of severe (>grade 2-3) acute radiation-induced esophagitis (ARE) and weight loss, and their relation with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was measured. Results: Median follow-up was 13.14 months (range; 1.97-55.36). Fifty-six (46%) patients had received oral Gln. Severe ARE was significantly lower in GIn-supplemented group (30% vs 70%; p = 0.002). Glnfree patients demonstrated a higher weight loss (p = 0.0001). In multivariate analysis hemoglobin (hb) level (<12 g/dL; p = 0.01) and nodal stage (N3; p = 0.01) were poor prognostic factors that affect OS; Weight loss (p = 0.06) and Gln-free (p = 0.05) reached nearly significant levels that poorly affect OS. Similarly, nodal stage (N3, p = 0.014) and Gln-free (p = 0.035) were poor prognostic factors that affect DFS. Weight loss (>= 2%, p = 0.06) and hb level (<12 g/dL, p = 0.07) reached borderline significance that poorly affect DFS. Nodal stage (N3) was the only poor prognostic factor that affect OS and DFS in univariate analysis (p = 0.01, p = 0.009; respectively). Conclusion: Oral Gln supplementation.significantly reduces grade 2-3 esophagitis and weight loss and also no negative impact on tumor control and survival outcomes in patients with LA-NSCLC.
