Radioactive seeds insertion with chemotherapy for advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer: A meta‐analysis

Abstract: Lung cancer (LC) is the most common cause of cancer-related death among humans. 1-3 Low-dose computed tomography (CT) is often used to screen for LCs, but even so, most patients with LC present with advanced-stage disease that is not eligible for curative resection. 4 Indeed, under 20% of non-small-cell LC (NSCLC) patients are eligible to undergo curative surgical resection. 4 Patients not eligible for curative respective treatment instead typically undergo chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, but traditional che… Show more

“…When performing the CCRT, traditional external radiotherapy is commonly used [ 4 6 ]. However, traditional external radiotherapy is typically associated with radiation- related complications, and the radiological dosing is limited by the distance between the tumor and the surrounding healthy tissue and vital organs [ 7 ].…”
