Objectives : To study the effect of SB injection on tumor size in an advanced non-small cell lung cancer patient.
Methods : A patient was clinically diagnosed as advanced non-small cell lung cancer (Stage Ⅲa). Four cycles of intravenous SB injection were conducted. Each cycle lasted 4 days. The content of 7vials SB was injected every day. To compare the tumor size before treatment and after four cycles of SB injection, chest computed tomography (CT) was performed.
Results : Follow-up CT images showed that the tumor size was reduced. In admission, size of the tumor 6.7×8.5×9.5 cm on the left lower lobe of lung. After SB injection, size of the tumor 5.6×6.8×8.4 cm by Chest CT. The patient's symptoms such as cough, sputum were improving until four cycles of SB injection. Numerical rating scale (NRS) showed improvement of Chest pain from point 3 to point 0.
Conclusions : This case study suggests that intravenous SB injection may have significant effects of anti-tumor for non-small cell lung cancer.
