ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the treatment effects on the central bronchogenic carcinoma by means of interventional chemotherapy and embolization. Methods There were 60 pathologically proved cases of central bronchogenic carcinoma in mid or late period. After detecting the nourishing arteries of bronchogenic carcinoma with angiography, anticancer drugs were poured into the nourishing arteries. Then silk thread and gelform were used to embolize these arteries. Results The total effective rate of the treatment was 100% and the obvious effective rate was 80%. 33 cases were operated and chemotherapy performed after operation. 27 cases were given synthetic treatment. No one died in the follow up of 18-34 months. Conclusion Interventional chemotherapy and embolization is an effective and safe method in the treatment of central bronchogenic carcinoma. If synthetic treatment is taken, the treatment effect would be much better.
