Clinical Trial: Transarterial Chemoembolization for the Treatment of Lung Cancer
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Phase II Trial of Lung Chemoembolization
Brief Summary:
This phase II trial evaluates how well transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) works for treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.TACE is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting chemotherapy directly into an artery that supplies blood to tumors, and then blocking off the blood supply to the tumors.Mitomycin (chemotherapy), Lipiodol (drug carrier), and Embospheres (small plastic beads that block off the artery) are injected into the tumor-feeding artery.This traps the chemotherapy inside the…
