Methods: One hundred and seventeen cases of advanced malignancies were diagnosed and confirmed by histopathological examination, patients were treated with Endostar combined with chemotherapeutic drugs with no cross-resistance. Evaluate the efficacy and adverse reactions after finished two cycles of combination therapy. Results: All the 117 cases of patients were evaluated according to relevant standards, and there were 12 cases of complete remission (CR), 30 cases of partial remission (PR), 58 cases of stable disease (SD), 17 cases of progressive disease (PD). The response rate (RR) was 35.8%, disease control rate (DCR) was 85.4%. Conclusion: The protocol of Endostar combined with chemotherapy could improve the quality of life of patients with malignances, it also has the advantage of low toxicity. Considering the time span of the study, the long-term efficacy remains to be observed.展开更多

Methods: Between 2006 to 2010, 78 cases of locally advanced NSCLC were enrolled into this trial. All patients were given platinum-based chemotherapy combined with concurrent three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3-DCRT). Chest CT scans were obtained during end-expiratory and end-inspiratory pauses when performing positioning. Image fusion was done after the image data was transferred to treatment plan system(TPS). The target volume was delineated on the fusion images. The chemotherapy was given on the first day of radiotherapy. Comprehensive examinations were conducted 4–6 weeks after concurrent chemoradiotherapy to assess short-term efficacy. Results: Complete remission(CR) was achieved in 8 cases and partial remission(PR) in 54 cases. The efficiency rate reached 79.5%. Grade III–IV radiation esophagitis occurred in 11.5%. No exit and death cases during treatment. Conclusion: Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy could significantly improve the short-term efficacy and prolong survival of stage III NSCLC, meanwhile the adverse reactions could be tolerated.展开更多
