title: [CT guided direct intervention chemotherapy of lung cancer].
abstract: The results of 4 pathologically proven advanced lung cancer patients treated by CT guided percutaneous intubation of chemotherapeutic agent into the tumor are reported. Multidrug chemotherapy using mitomycin, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide or 5-Fu was given in a total of 11 treatments. All patients had symptomatic improvement with tumor reduction. There was no incidence of pneumothorax and other side reactions were mild. The authors believe that direct intervention chemotherapy of lung cancer is an effective and safe treatment of choice in advanced cases.
