Methods: 79 patients with locally advanced NSCLC were divided randomly into two groups. In the RT group, the radiation was given by 8Mv X-ray or 18Mv X-ray with 2Gy/fraction, 5 fraction per week with a total dose of 60Gy~65Gy/6~7 weeks. In the BAI+RT group, the radiation was given as RT group. Bronchial arterial infusion was performed before RT. The regimen consisted of DDP 100 mg/m2, MMC 10 mg, and 5-Fu 1000 mg. Each patient received two or three cycles. Results: The overall response rates were 80.5% in BAI+RT group and 50% in RT group. The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates in the BAI+RT group were significantly improved when compared to the RT group, being 87.8% vs 36.8%, 39.0% vs 7.9%, and 17.1% vs 2.6% respectively. The median time of radiation treatment to recurrence of primary lesion was 11 months in the BAI+RT group and 5 months in the RT group (P<0.05). The acute reactions were increased but acceptable in BAI+RT group, and the radiation treatments were able to be completed without any break. The late reactions were similar in both groups. Conclusion: The survival rates of patients with locally advanced NSCLC can be improved by BAI+RT without increasing any complication.展开更多

The aim of this research is to evaluate the clinical and pathohistological responses and effects of preoperative bronchial artery infusion (BAI) chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced (stage Ⅲ) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: A total of 92 patients with locally advanced NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups. BAI group received BAI chemotherapy for 2 cycles before surgical resection. Surgery group received operation only. The complete resection rate and clinical response were compared between the two groups. Results: In the BAI group, the clinical response rate and the pathohistological response rate were 68.3% and 51.3%, respectively. The complete resection rate in the BAI group was 89.7%, which was significantly higher than that in the surgery group (72.5%) (P 〈 0.05). The 1- and 2-year survival rate was 100.0% and 80.6% in the BAI group, and 94.1% and 60.0% in the surgery group. Conclusion: BAI neoadjuvant chemotherapy is safe and effective, which has a good clinical and pathohistological response. It might increase the complete resection rate of the tumor and improve the long term survival rate of stage Ⅲ NSCLC patients.展开更多

Methods: 92 cases with locally advanced NSCLC patients were randomly divided into two groups: (1) BAI chemotherapy group: 39 cases were received BAI chemotherapy for 2 courses and followed surgery; (2) surgery alone group: 51 cases were treated by operation alone. The complete resection rate and preoperative complications were compared between these two groups. Results: In BAI chemotherapy group, the rate of clinical efficiency was 68.3% with slight toxicity. In BAI chemotherapy group the surgery complete resection rate was 89.7%, which was significantly higher than that in surgery alone group (72.5%, P 〈 0.05). No significant differences of blood loss, operative complications and mortality were observed between these two groups. Conclusion: BAI neoadjuvant chemotherapy was safe and effective, which can increase the complete resection rate of the tumor and did not increase the operative complications and mortality.展开更多

The mucosal lesions had been initially diagnosed as oral lichen planus and resistant to various treatments with prednisolone, etretinate and mizoribine and so on. One year ago, rapidly growing verrucous lesion occurred on her upper lip. Although we administered intralesional radiation therapy, the tumor recurred and new whitish lesions on the buccal mucosa and hard palate occurred 9 months after treatment. We confirmed an anatomical blood supply to the tumors by a fluorescent real-time imaging system and subsequently administered the intra-arterial infusion of peplomycin through retrograde catheters from bilateral superficial temporal arteries under the final diagnosis as oral florid papillomatosis (OFP). The tumors were dramatically shrunk and did not recur 16 months after treatment. OFP is known as clinically multiple whitish and verrucous lesions over the oral cavity and lip and a subtype of SCC with high differentiation. We suppose that an intra-arterial infusion therapy of peplomycin should be considered as the curative treatment for OFP.展开更多

Methods: A total of 58 patients with advanced NSCLC were enrolled in a non-randomized, two-armed clinical trial. Of which, 19 received a combination treatment of BAI and rAd-p53 (the combo group), while the remaining 39 were treated with only BAI (the control group). Patients were followed up for 12 months, with safety and local response evaluated by the National Cancer lnstitute's Common Toxicity Criteria and response evaluation criteria in solid tumor (RECIST), respectively. Time to progression (TTP) and survival rates were also analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method. Results In the combo group, 19 patients received a total of 49 injections ofrAd-p53 and 46 times of BAI, respectively, while 39 patients in the control group received a total of 113 times of BAI. The combination treatment was found to have less adverse events such as anorexia, nausea and emesis, pain, and leucopenia (P〈0.05) but more arthralgia, fever, influenza-like symptom, and myalgia (P〈0.05), compared with the control group. The overall response rates (complete response (CR)+partial response (PR)) were 47.3% and 38.4% for the combo group and the control group, respectively (P〉0.05). Patients in the combo group had a longer TTP than those in the control group (a median 7.75 vs 5.5 months, P-0.018). However, the combination treatment did not lead to better survival, with survival rates at 3, 6, and 12 months in the combo group being 94.74%, 89.47%, and 52.63%, respectively, com- pared with 92.31%, 69.23%, and 38.83% in the control group (P=0.224). Conclusion: Our results show that the combination of rAd-p53 and BAI was well tolerated in patients with NSCLC and may have improved the quality of life and delayed the disease progression. A further study to better determine the efficacy of this combination therapy is warranted.展开更多

In this prospective study, the effect of multiple-phase RIAC for patients with resectable pancreatic head adenocarcinoma was evaluated, and its safety and validity comparing with postoperative RIAC were also assessed. Methods Patients with resectable pancreatic head cancer were randomly assigned to two groups. Patients in group A (n=-50) were treated with new therapeutic mode of extended pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with multiple-phase RIAC, and those in group B (n=-50) were treated with extended pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with postoperative RIAC in the same period. The feasibility, compliance and efficiency of the new therapeutic mode were evaluated by tumor size, serum tumor markers, clinical benefit response (CBR), surgical complications, mortality and toxicity of RIAC. The disease-free survival time, median survival time, incidence of liver metastasis, survival rate at 1, 2, 3 and 5 years were also observed. Life curves were generated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results The pain relief rate and CBR in group A was 80% and 84% respectively. Serum tumor markers decreased obviously and tumors size decreased in 26% of patients after preoperative RIAC in group A. No more surgical complications, mortality or severe systemic side effects were observed in group A compared with group B. The incidence of liver metastasis in group A was 34% which was lower than 50% in group B. The disease-free survival time and median survival time in group A were 15.5 months and 18 months respectively. The 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 54.87%, 34.94%, 24.51% and 12.25% respectively. There was no significant difference of survival time or survival rates between two groups. Conclusions Multiple-phase RIAC is effective in combined therapy of resectable pancreatic head carcinomas by enhancing inhibition of tumor growth and reduction of liver metastasis, without negative effect on patients' safety or surgical procedure.展开更多
