Abstract

Objective To investigate the long-term effects and risk factors of arterial polyvinyl alcohol resin (PVA) embolization for ⅢB and IV non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patient.Methods 126 patients with 1 B or V NSCLC were performed the perfusion with 5-FU,THP,DDP by PVA grain embolization under fluoroscopic control.All patients were followed up.Kaplan-Meier was used to calculate the survival rate and the median survival time,and Cox regression model was adopted to analyze related risk factors which affected curative effect.Results The median survival time was( 11.78 ± 3.24) months and 1 -,2-year survival rate was 39.1 %,25.59% in 126 patients with NSCLC.Cox model analysis showed that of the tumor staging,tumor size,location and combination chemotherapy were all independent risk factors of prognosis (all P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Arterial embolization of PVA for treatment of NSCLC is effective.Tumor size,stage,location and combination chemotherapy are associated with prognosis of NSCLC. Key words: Polyvinyl alcohol resin ; Cancer, non-small cell lung; Embolization
