title: [The clinicopathological effects of infusion of cis-platinum into the bronchial artery on lung cancer].
abstract: Ten patients with histologically and/or cytologically confirmed lung cancer were treated with cis-platinum (CDDP) infused into the bronchial artery (BAI). Radiological findings on chest X-rays taken two weeks after BAI were evaluated according to Takeuchi's criteria. The radiological results were judged to be quite effective in one case of squamous cell carcinoma, with more than 50% shrinkage of the tumor shadow, and to be effective in nine others, with more than 20% shrinkage. As for the histological effects, grade III in one case of squamous cell carcinoma and grade IIa in two cases of adenocarcinoma and one of large cell carcinoma were obtained by Shimosato's criteria. In conclusion, BAI with CDDP was sufficiently useful as a chemotherapeutic modality for lung cancer, especially squamous cell carcinoma, because higher local dosage of CDDP can be delivered without systemic toxicity.
