Phase II Trial of Pleural Photodynamic Therapy and Surgery for Patients With Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer With Pleural Spread

Abstract: Our results indicate surgery and PDT can be performed safely with very good local control. The median survival of 21.7 months, calculated from the time of surgery and PDT is encouraging. Further evaluation of this therapy is warranted.

“…Also, clinical trials examining debulking surgery followed by intraoperative photofirin-mediated PDT for peritoneal or pleural dissemination showed good local control rates with acceptable toxicity (33)(34)(35). The anti-tumor effects of photofirin-mediated PDT were more potent than those of 5-ALA-mediated PDT, but the toxicity rates were higher.…”

“…A phase II trial enrolling 22 patients with pleural spread and clinical T4 NSCLC was conducted in which patients underwent surgery with complete or partial tumor debulking, followed by hemithoracic pleural PDT or PDT alone. The median overall survival was 21.7 months, compared with 6-9 months for similar patients based on historical controls [13].…”

“…For lung cancer, the phase II trial at the University of Pennsylvania proved our point of view. It showed 73.3% of 6-month localized disease control for the cohort and a median overall survival of 21.7 months, compared with 6-9 months survival for similar patients treated with the non-operative standard of care and based upon historical controls [13]. Compared with surgery without PDT for patients of lung cancer with pleural spread in literature, the outcome of patients receiving surgery plus PDT is beter [18,19].…”

“…В последние годы некоторые авторы выполняют ци-торедуктивные операции в сочетании с внутриплевраль-ной фотодинамической терапией [7,8]. Результаты многочисленных экспериментальных и клинических исследований свидетельствуют о том, что мощным адъювантом циторедуктивной терапии является аппаратная гипертермия, благодаря которой ранее рези-стентные к повреждающим факторам опухолевые клетки становятся чувствительными к противоопухолевым пре-паратам и лучевому воздействию [9].…”
