Bronchial arterial infusion plus bronchial arterial chemoembolization (BAI-BACE) has been reported as non-first-line therapy to treat lung cancer in many hospitals in China. BAI, which uses chemotherapeutic drugs directly injected into the tumor and achieved a high concentration in a short time to kill the tumor. Then BACE could seal off the tumor vessels. In this study, we aim to describe the efficacy and safety of BAI-BACE as non-first-line for advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma.
This study is a multicenter, interventional study to explore the efficacy, safety of BAI-BACE as non-first-line therapy for advanced central squamous cell carcinoma. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Owing to the insidious symptom, most patients (about 75 %) are diagnosed at the advanced stage of the disease and, thus, cannot undergo resection. The central squamous cell carcinoma accounts for 25% of all cases of lung cancer. The first-line standard treatment for advanced central squamous cell carcinoma is combined chemoradiotherapy, and chemoradiotherapy is usually as the second-line. However, treatment failure is noted in many patients, and those patients often face the limited therapy choice and poor prognosis. Bronchial arterial infusion plus bronchial arterial chemoembolization (BAI-BACE) has been reported to treat lung cancer in many hospitals in China. BAI, which use chemotherapeutic drugs directly injected into the tumor and achieved a high concentration in a short time to kill the tumor. Then BACE could seal off the tumor vessels. The systemic toxicity of this surgery is low and tolerable. This study will provide clinical evidence that BACE-BAI will provide survival benefit for patients with advanced central squamous cell carcinoma.

Bronchial arterial infusion, bronchial arterial chemoembolization (BACE-BAI) procedure was performed as follows: Bronchial arteriography was performed to find tumor-feeding artery. After the catheter had been inserted into the tumor-feeding artery, paclitaxel (300 mg) was infused slowly at least 30 min. BAI (bronchial arterial infusion) chemotherapy was followed by BACE (Drug-eluting beads bronchial arterial chemoembolization); the CalliSpheres loaded with cis-platinum (30 mg) were infused into the tumor-feeding arteries until stasis or near-stasis of blood flow in the vessel was observed.
