Abstract：Objective To evaluate the effect of superselective arterial iodine oil chemoembolization on treatment of lung cancer.Methods Fifty-seven patients with lung cancer were studied.Guided by tumor blood artery with bronchial arteriograghy,superselective arterial iodine oil chemoembolization was performed in all patients.Results All cases were successfully super-selectively catheterized and chemoembolized; the postoperative clinical symptom was reduced.In this group,right branch-the ribs accounted for 14.0％ (8/57),bilateral bronchial artery accounted for 5.3％ (3/57),left and right bronchial artery accounted for 5.3％ (3/57) ; blood intercostal arteries were involved in 7.0％ (4/57) and internal thoracic artery in the blood supply accounted for 1.8％ (1/57).The complete remission rate was 66.7％ (38/57) ; total effective rate was 84.2％ (48/57) ; unchanged rate was 10.5％ (6/57) and progressed rate was 5.3％ (3/57) after treatment.All cases were successfully superselectively catheterized and chemoembolized; the postoperative clinical symptom was reduced.Conclusions Superselective arterial iodine oil chemoembolization is an effective and safe method for lung cancer,which can significantly reduce symptoms and improve the life quality.
