ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of bronchial artery infusion(BAI)combined with percutaneous intratumor alcohol injection(PAI)in the treatment of advanced lung cancer.Methods Thirty-two lesions confirmed by pathology,including 13 cases of primary bronchogenic carcinoma and 5 cases of pulmonary multi-metastasis tumor from hepatocellular carcinoma,were treated by 52 times of BAI and 78 times of PAI guided by fluoroscopy or CT .One cases of lung tumor was operated after the interventional therapy,and the specimen was studied with pathologic histology.Results The pathologic finding showed there was a large area necrosis in the tumor.The total effective rate of treatment was 83.8%.The 6,12 and 18 months suivival rates were 100%,77.7% and 61% respectively.Conclusion The combined interventional therapy of BAI and PAI is a more effective synthetical method for treatment only for primary tumor,but also metastasis lesions.It have better cooperative effect on the bigger lesions of lung carcinoma.
