متن کاملLong-term survival following surgical treatment of solitary brain metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer.
Dissemination of lung cancer beyond the intrathoracic lymph nodes (stage IV disease) implies surgical unresectability. However, solitary brain metastases (SBMs) from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have often been treated by combined resection of the primary tumor and its metastasis. Such an aggressive approach appears to substantively improve patient outcome and provide better quality of li...
متن کاملChemoradiotherapy alone or in combination with Endostar for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Previous studies show inconsistent effect estimates for the efficacy of Endostar in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing chemoradiotherapy. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness and safety on the basis of data obtained from available randomized controlled trials (RTCs). We find relevant articles reporting the use of Endostar combined ...
