Chemotherapy Combined With Whole-body Hyperthermia to Treat Stage IIIB/IV Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
A study testing chemotherapy & WBH in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage IIIB and Toxicity Due to Chemotherapy, run by Xijing Hospital at 1 site in China.
Trial summary
Millions of patients die of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) every year. There are several methods to treat NSCLC, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and bioimmuotherapy. Recently, hyperthermia therapy has played an important role in neoplasm therapy. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Randomized Contrasted Polycentric Clinical Study About Chemotherapy Combined With Whole-body Hyperthermia(WBH)to Treat Stage IIIB/IV Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Millions of patients die of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) every year. There are several methods to treat NSCLC, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and bioimmuotherapy. Recently, hyperthermia therapy has played an important role in neoplasm therapy. It has showed some effect in NSCLC both in animal experiment and clinical practice, yet there is little literature about Whole-body Hyperthermia (WBH) with neoplasm. The investigators decides to develop this randomized contrasted multicenter clinical study to testify to the effect of chemotherapy combined with WBH to treat stage IIIB/IV Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
- Being tested
- chemotherapy & WBH
