Objective  To explore the efficacy and safety of bronchoscopy-guided radioactive 125I seeds implantation combination with chemotherapy for advanced central type lung cancer. Methods  Sixty-six patients with central type lung cancer in stage Ⅲb or Ⅳ were enrolled in this study from May 2014 to July 2016. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, ie. bronchoscopy-guided seeds implantation combined with chemotherapy group (experimental group, n=30) and chemotherapy group (control group, n=36). All patients accepted GP regimen (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) chemotherapy and were followed up by CT and electric bronchoscopy (EB) examination 1, 3, 5 months later. According to WHO unified standard, the efficacy and adverse effects were evaluated . Results  In the experimental group and the control group, the response rate (complete response plus partial response) was 80.00% and 50.00%, respectively. There was significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). The incidence rate of hemoptysis in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence rate of pneumothorax, fever or bone marrow suppression (allP>0.05). All adverse reactions were light and could be controlled. Conclusions  The short-term clinical efficacy is better in the bronchoscopy-guided seeds implantation combined with chemotherapy group. The bronchoscopy-guided seeds implantation combined with chemotherapy is a safe and minimally invasive treatment for advanced central type lung cancer.
