Objective To evaluate short-term effects of percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy（PMCT） combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer（NSCLC）.Methods Eighty cases with advanced NSCLC were randomly assigned to underwent chemotherapy plus PMCT(PMCT group，n=40) or single chemotherapy(chemotherapy group，n=40).The chemotherapeutics regimen was Taxotere plus Cisplatin.The preliminary results and quality of life score of two groups were compared.Results In PMCT group and chemotherapy group，the 3-month relieve rate was 52.5% and 32.5%，and the half-year survival rate was 87.5% and 62.5%，respectively.The differences between the two groups were both significant(Plt;0.05).The quality of life score in PMCT group was significantly higher than that in chemotherapy group (Plt;0.05).Conclusion PMCT combined with chemotherapy is effective and safe in the treatment of advanced NSCLC.
