Objective  To evaluate short-term effects of percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy(PMCT) combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods  Eighty cases with advanced NSCLC were randomly assigned to underwent chemotherapy plus PMCT(PMCT group,n=40) or single chemotherapy(chemotherapy group,n=40).The chemotherapeutics regimen was Taxotere plus Cisplatin.The preliminary results and quality of life score of two groups were compared.Results  In PMCT group and chemotherapy group,the 3-month relieve rate was 52.5% and 32.5%,and the half-year survival rate was 87.5% and 62.5%,respectively.The differences between the two groups were both significant(P lt;0.05).The quality of life score in PMCT group was significantly higher than that in chemotherapy group (P lt;0.05).Conclusion  PMCT combined with chemotherapy is effective and safe in the treatment of advanced NSCLC.
