Clinical observation of advanced central lung cancer treated by endobronchial brachytherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy

Objective To evaluate the short term efficacy and toxicity of endobronchial brachytherapy in combination with systemic chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced central lung cancer.Methods Thirty-six patients suffering from endobronchial obstruction caused by lung cancer were included in this study.Treatment consisted of cisplatin-based combinations and endobronchial brachytherapy concomitantly(6-7Gy per fraction;once a week;for 3 to 4weeks).Results Total response rate was 91.7%,with CR for 24 and PR for 9.There were no significant difference among various phathological types. Twenty-eight patients achieved symptomatic palliation(77.8%).The main toxicities were myelosuppression and radiation bronchitis.Conclusion Endobronchial brachytherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy is effective in patients with advanced central lung cancer.It can alleviate symptoms rapidly ,promote the quality of life and can be used safely.
