A Comparative Study of CT-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation and Targeted Therapy: Intervention Efficacy and Survival Rates in Lung Cancer Patients
Tianyu Zhao, Chunjing Zhang, Hang Dai, Jingyu Li, Liguo Hao, Yanan LiuObjective:
The study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of CT-guided radiofrequency ablation in conjunction with targeted therapy in lung cancer patients.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed 80 lung cancer patients. They were stratified into the Observation Group (OG; n=40, treated with CT-guided radiofrequency ablation in conjunction with targeted therapy) and the Control Group (CG; n=40, treated solely with targeted therapy).
Results:
The Overall Response Rate (ORR) and Disease Control Rate (DCR) in the OG group (70.00%, 95.00%) were significantly higher than those in the CG group (57.50%, 87.50%). After 6 weeks of treatment, the OG group had significantly lower levels of SCC, CEA, and CA125, higher CD4+ levels, and lower CD8+ levels, compared to the CG group. The 24-month follow-up survival rate of the OG group (47.50%) was significantly higher than that of the CG group (27.50%).
Conclusion:
CT-guided radiofrequency ablation and targeted therapy have been proven effective in treating lung cancer.
result:
The OG group reported 4 cases of Complete Response (CR), 24 cases of Partial Response (PR), 10 cases of Stable Disease (SD), and 2 cases of Progressive Disease (PD). The Overall Response Rate (ORR) was 70.00% (28/40), and the Disease Control Rate (DCR) was 95.00% (38/40). In contrast, the CG group exhibited 3 cases of CR, 20 cases of PR, 12 cases of SD, and 5 cases of PD. The ORR was 57.50% (23/40), and the DCR was 87.50% (35/40). The ORR and DCR in the OG group were significantly higher than those in the CG group. After 6 weeks of treatment, the levels of SCC, CEA, and CA125 in the OG group were significantly lower than those in the CG group; The CD4+ levels in the OG group were significantly higher and the CD8+ levels significantly lower than those in the CG group. A 24-month follow-up showed that the survival rate of the OG group was 47.50% (19/40), which was significantly higher than that of the CG group at 27.50% (11/40).
