Therapeutic efficacy of Traditional Vein Chemotherapy and Bronchial Arterial Infusion Combining with CIKs on Ⅲ Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Background and objective The therapeutic efficacy of late lung-cancer was very poor, and cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) were paid more attention to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study is to get insight into the role of bronchial arterial infusion bronchial arterial infusion (BAI) plus CIK about NSCLC by comparing therapeutic efficacy among BAI, traditional vein chemotherapy and BAI plus CIK, for late NSCLC. Methods A total of 120 patients were enrolled in this study, dividing randomly into three groups: bronchial arterial infusion (BAI), traditional vein chemotherapy and BAI plus CIK. Clinical effects and side effects were estimated after two period of therapy. Results The effective rate (CR+PR%) of combined group is higher than the traditional vein chemotherapy group (66.67%, n=39) and there are significant differences (χ2=4.721, P=0.03); The side effect of rate of BAI plus CIK group is significantly lower than the traditional vein chemotherapy group, and so did the non-bone marrow inhibition side effects (P < 0.05). The tumor progression rate (PD%) of bronchial arterial infusion (BAI) group is higher than combined group (χ2=4.287, P=0.038). There was no difference between the traditional vein chemotherapy group and combined group (χ2=0.082, P=0.775). Conclusion Bronchial Artery Infusion combined with cytokine-induced killer cells is an ideal, safety, effective comprehensive treatment method for late stage lung cancer.
