Yang Yao, Yueyin Pan, Zhangjun Li, Chi Zhu

Abstract

Bronchial artery infusion (BM) with chemical agents was performed in 41 patients with lung carcinoma up to 61 times, included 33 cases (51 times) primary lmag cardmmm (PLC) and 8 cases (10 times) lung metastatic carcinoma (I2VIC). Short- time effects were valuable in 31 cases with PLC and 7 cases with LMC. Complete remission (CR) plus partial rimission (PR) ocurred in 14 cases (45.16%) among 31 patients with PLC and 1 case (14.28%) anmng 14 patients with LMC (P<0.01). CR plus PR was 10 cases (52.63%) among 19 patients with cenlral type cancer (CTC) and 4 cases (33.33%) among 12 patients with pwprephal type cancer (PTC) orPLC (P<0.05). CR plus PR in 15 squamous carcinomas (SC), 6 adenocarcinonms (AC) 2 small cdl undifferentiated carcinomas (SCLC) and 8 histologically tmclassfied carcinomas (HUC) were 8 (53.33%), 1 (50%), and 3 (37.5%), respectively. The rate of CR plus PR in squamous carcinoma was higher than that in adenocarcinoma and histologically unclassified carcinoma (P<0.05). There was no remarkable diffexence in CR plus PR among stage II--III and IV patients with PLC, CAP and FMP protocol treatment. This study also investigated and analysed the side effects of 41 patients by BAI treatment.
