The control group 25 cases, radiation treatment. Clinical symptom, life quality scroe, airway obstruction were measured before and after treatment. 【Results】After average 4 times APC and cryotherapy through bronchoscope, result compared with control group, the remission rate of clinical symptoms, airway obstruction, and improve of life quality score were markedly highter, two group had a statistically difference (P 0.05). 【Conclusion】Radiation combined with APC and cryotherapy through bronchoscope is a effective and safe therapy for the patients with central type lung cancer.Read More
