Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of combined therapy with iodine‑125 seed implantation and the gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapeutic regimen, as well as treatment with the radiosensitizer sodium glycididazole (CMNa), in patients with non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The 40 patients with NSCLC in the experimental group (19 females; mean age, 52.3±11.5 years; age range, 34‑74 years) received the combined therapy and CMNa, and the 41 controls (13 females; mean age, 53.7±10.7 years; age range, 8‑79 years) received the combined therapy only. The response rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group (85.5 vs. 63.4%; P=0.027), with no apparent complications. Therefore, it was concluded that such therapy may be reliable and well‑tolerated for the treatment of patients with NSCLC.
