The Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Intratumoral Injection of Chemotherapy for Advanced Solid Tumors

The Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Intratumoral Injection of Chemotherapy for Advanced Solid Tumors Through Fine Needle Puncture

This project intends to investigate the clinical efficacy of intra-tumoural injection of chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. cisplatin, oxaliplatin, etc.)via fine needle aspiration guided by CT or ultrasound in patients with advanced solid cancers to validate the safety and efficacy.

Malignant solid tumours including lung and liver cancers are the most common malignant tumours worldwide and have a very high mortality rate. Currently,the clinical practice mainly relies on systemic administration of chemotherapeutic agents usually by intravenous infusion for patients with solid cancer with multiple metastases,but the overall efficiency is not high.Single or multiple chemotherapeutic agents are infused intratumourally to increase the local drug concentration in the tumour, improve efficacy and reduce drug resistance and systemic adverse effects. This project intends to investigate the clinical efficacy of intra-tumoural injection of chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. cisplatin, oxaliplatin, etc.)via fine needle aspiration guided by CT or ultrasound in patients with advanced solid cancers to validate the safety and efficacy.

Inclusion Criteria:
