Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to determine the short-term efficacy, toxicity and the rate of life-quality improvement of BSD2000 deep hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy of PT regimen in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by comparation with PT regimen alone. METHODS:Sixty patients with NSCLC were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group, with 30 each. The treatment group was treated with chemotherapy (paclitaxel: 135 mg/m2 ivdirp3 h qd d1+cisplatin: 20 mg/m2 ivdirp qd d1-5) in combination with BSD2000 deep hyperthermia, and hyperthermia was positioned precisely and maintained for 60 min (2 times a cycle: d1, 4 after the end of chemotherapy within two hours). The control group was treated with chemotherapy alone. Treatment response in both groups were evaluated as well as side-effects after 3 cycles. By observing the results, comparing response rate, toxic side effects and quality of life improvement rate in two groups. RESULTS: The efficiency and the rate of life-quality improvement in the treatment group were 63.33%, 76.67% respectively, and 36.67%, 40.00% in the control group respectively. There were significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05). The main side-effects were myelosuppression and gastrointestinal reactions, no significant difference between two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: BSD2000 deep hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC can significantly increase the efficacy, response rate and quality of life improvement and without increasing side-effects compared to chemotherapy alone.
