Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Intratumoral Injection of Cisplatin for the Treatment of Isolated Mediastinal Recurrence of Lung Cancer
Published on: February 12, 2017
Abstract:
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is less responsive to chemo- and radiotherapy than bronchogenic small cell cancer. Until now the results of chemotherapy in NSCLC have been disappointing. In a retrospective study on epidermoid cell lung cancer we can show that there is no increase of the survival time during the last 22 years. In a total of 2425 patients the median survival time ranged from 179 to 299 days each year, without any trend. Because of the poor therapeutic results and the accompanying toxicity, which deteriorates survival quality, the cytostatic treatment of NSCLC is still an unsolved problem.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...
