This study intends to investigate the efficacy and safety of medical thoracoscopic cryotherapy combined with standard first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with malignant pleural effusion through a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Medical thoracoscopic cryotherapy: medical thoracoscopy biopsy hole insert bendable freezing probes, place the frozen probe placed in the center of the tumor at the top will be frozen carbon dioxide gas source pressure adjustment to the bar of 50-60 bar, tread down switch, foot pedal to start the probe, after about 30 s at the top of the probe to form a ice hockey, local tissue after frozen white, sometimes a small amount of bleeding; Fix the probe, loosen the pedal, and wait 30 seconds for automatic melting and rewarming (bleeding probability is low after full rewarming). Freeze 5 to 10 at a time. In addition, all patients were treated with standard first-line regimens according to guidelines of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores.
The pleural effusion was fully drained and cisplatin 40mg/m2 was given, dissolved in 100mL 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution 100 mL, then injected into the pleural cavity and retained for 24 hours. Erythromycin was sequentially injected into the thorax to seal the pleural cavity. In addition, all patients were treated with standard first-line regimens according to guidelines of NSCLC and ECOG scores.

RECRUITINGpleural progression free survival, P-PFS
According to Millar's criteria, P-PFS was defined as absence of pleural effusion lasting more than 4 weeks; Or an order of magnitude reduction in pleural effusion (such as large to medium volume, or medium to small volume) lasting more than 4 weeks; Or pleural effusion with no significant change, lasting more than 4 weeks.
Time frame: up to 2 months
Total effective rate
Complete remission (CR) : pleural effusion disappeared and lasted for more than 4 weeks; Partial remission (PR) : reduction of pleural effusion by 1 order of magnitude (e.g., large to medium volume, or medium to small volume) for more than 4 weeks; CR+PR was denoted as the total effective rate.
Time frame: up tp 2 months
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time frame: up to 2 months
modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale
The modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC) is used to assess degree of baseline functional disability due to dyspnea. The minimum and maximum values are 0 and 4, and higher scores mean a worse outcome. Score 0 means dyspnea only with strenuous exercise; score 1 means dyspnea when hurrying or walking up a slight hill; score 2 means walks slower than people of the same age because of dyspnea or has to stop for breath when walking at own pace; score 3 means stops for breath after walking 100 yards (91 m) or after a few minutes; score 4 means too dyspneic to leave house or breathless when dressing.

Only intrathoracic tube was used to drain pleural effusion, and local pleural cavity was not treated. In addition, all patients were treated with standard first-line regimens according to guidelines of NSCLC and ECOG scores.
