      Background
      To evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of weekly nab-paclitaxel combined with carboplatin in patients with advanced stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC patients with squamous histologyFrom April 2015 to August 2017, 36 treatment-naive, pathologically diagnosed IIIA-N2 lung squamous cell carcinoma patients were enrolled and given two cycles of weekly nab-paclitaxel (100mg/m2, day1,8,15 of a 21-day cycle) plus Carboplatin (AUC = 5 at day 1, q3w) as neoadjuvant therapy. Then resectability was assessed and surgery was performed for resectable lesions. Post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy regimens is the combination of Nab-paclitaxel (100mg/m2, qw x 6) and carboplatin (AUC 5, Q3W x 2) for patients with PD, adjuvant chemotherapy regimen will be changed. The primary objective is the safety and efficacy, and the secondary objectives are quality of life and the role of prognostic biomarker SPARC.

      Of 36 patients, 3 stopped treatment due to patient decision. 33 were finally evaluated and 1 is still on treatment. Significant tumor volume shrinkage was seen in some patients after the neoadjuvant therapy. 66.7% patients achieved partial response (PR), 21.2% patients achieved stable disease (SD). Disease control (PR +SD) rate was 87.9%. Finally, 23 patients underwent surgical resection, the respectability rate was 69.7%. 12.1% occurred disease progress and failed to achieve resection, including 3 with local progress and 1 with pulmonary metastatic nodule; Among 22 PR pts, 4 failed to achieve resection, in which 1 was due to heart function, the other 3 due to personal unwillingness. 2 of 7 with stable disease failed to achieve resection; the pathological improvement in T stage and N stage before and after treatment was 81.8% (18/22) and 50% (11/22) respectively. The major adverse event was neutropenia (grade I and II) and no serious AE was found.

      Nab-paclitaxel in combination with Carboplatin showed promising ORR rate and resection rate in of IIIA-N2 lung squamous cell carcinoma. The regimen could be a new chemo option as the neoadjuvant treatment. PFS and OS data will be reported after follow up completing.
