Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous Cool-tip Radiofrequency ablation guided by computerized tomography (CT) for the treatment of advanced lung cancer. Methods 32 patients of advanced lung cancer with 102 different pathological types were treated with MERP technique. The patients' blood pressure,pulse rate and oxygen saturation were monitored during the procedure. The hepatic, pulmonary and renal functions were examined before and after the procedure. The tumor bulk was compared with CT before and after the treatment. Results There were no any changes in the blood pressure, pulse rate and oxygen saturation in the whole series before, immediately after the term ination and one month after the procedure, nor did the hepatic,pulmonary and renal function as well. The bulk of the tumor in this group as a whole enlarged by the end of the first month after the therapy. The CT scanning of the tumor at the end of the third month revealed that there had 23 CR, 53 PRa, 24 PRb, and 2 NR among 102 tumors. Conclusion The Cool-tip Radiofrequency ablation is a promising mini-invasive technique for the treatment of advanced lung cancer with the satisfactory efficacy and safety.

Objective To observe the short-term efficacy and safety of sequential administration of erlotinib and chemotherapy in unselected, chemonaive patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Previously-untreated patients (n=23) with stage Ⅲ_B/Ⅳ NSCLC and ECOG PS of 0/1 received erlotinib (150 mg/d) on days 15-28 of a 4-week cycle that included gemcitabine (1250 mg/m~2, days 1 and 8), and either cisplatin (75 mg/m~2, day 1) or carboplatin (AUC=5, day 1). The primary end points were tumor response rate and safety. Results 23 patients received a total of 95 cycles of treatment, and all were evaluable for efficacy and toxicity. The overall response rate was 30.4%, 0 case achieved complete responses (CR), 7 cases (30.4%) achieved partial responses (PR), 14 cases (60.9 %) achieved stable disease (SD), 2 cases (8.7 %) achieved progression disease (PD). The disease control rate was 91.3 %. The sequential administration of erlotinib following gemcitabine/platinum chemotherapy was well tolerated. The major grade 3 treatment-related adverse events were eutropenia (13.4%), rash (8.7%), nausea (8.7%) and thrombocytopenia (8.7%). No treatment-related interstitial lung disease. Conclusion equential administration of erlotinib following gemcitabine/platinum chemotherapy was effective, and the toxicity was tolerable. This treatment strategy warrants further investigation.
