RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of thymosin and MVP chemotherapy on the life quality of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients. Methods 50 cases of NSCLC patients who received MVP(MMC, VDS, DDP) chemotherapy,were randomly divided into experimental group (using thymosin α1) and control group;before chemotherapy and at the end of chemotherapy (the first 2 weeks), the quality of life was evaluated and analyzed comparatively by the FACT-L questionnaire of patients with lung cancer-Chinese version (V4.0). Results The re-sults of the experimental group score increased by (3.13±2.29),and control group score increased by(-1.07± 2.19) with significant differences (P<0.01). Conclusions Thymosin α1 can improve the short-term quality of life of the non-small cell lung cancer patients who received MVP chemotherapy.
