Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the efficacy and safety of CalliSpheres drug-loaded microsphere through bronchial artery chemoembolization (BACE) for treatment of squamous non-small cell lung cancer in the elderly.

Methods

From December 2017 to June 2019, 16 elderly patients with squamous non-small cell lung cancer who were treated by BACE admitted to Linyi Tumor Hospital of Shandong Province were collected. All patients were treated with 40~60 mg epirubicin with callispheres loaded with BACE. After operation, the curative effect of solid tumor was evaluated by improved solid tumor evaluation standard, the function score was evaluated by quality of life core questionnaire (QLQ-C30 version 3.0), and the advanced survival and total survival were counted. Rank sum test was used to measure the non normal distribution between groups.

Results

All the 16 elderly patients were successfully treated by DEB-BACE. One month after operation, the objective remission rate was 75.00%, and the disease control rate was 100%; three months after operation, the objective remission rate was 75.00%, and the disease control rate was 87.5%. The 6-month survival rate was 100%, the 12-month survival rate was 69.8%, the median progression-free survival rate was 7 months, and the total survival rate was 14 months. One month after interventional therapy, the scores of physical function, emotional function, general health status, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea and insomnia were significantly better than those before treatment (Z=3.220, 2.484, 3.091, 4.642, 2.250, 6.988, 2.484; P < 0.05 or 0.01). The main adverse reactions were chest pain, fever and irritating cough, which were improved after symptomatic treatment. There were no serious complications such as spinal cord injury and cerebral embolism.

Conclusion

CalliSpheres drug-loaded microsphere through BACE is effective and safe in the treatment of squamous non-small cell lung cancer in the elderly.
