Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • pleural progression free survival, P-PFS

    According to Millar's criteria, P-PFS was defined as absence of pleural effusion lasting more than 4 weeks; Or an order of magnitude reduction in pleural effusion (such as large to medium volume, or medium to small volume) lasting more than 4 weeks; Or pleural effusion with no significant change, lasting more than 4 weeks.

    up to 2 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Total effective rate

    up tp 2 months

  • Progression-free survival (PFS)

    up to 2 months

  • modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale

    up to 2 months

  • Overall survival time

    up to 2 months

  • Adverse reactions

    up to 2 months

Study Arms (3)

Experimental group (medical thoracoscopic cryotherapy)

EXPERIMENTAL
Other: Medical thoracoscopic cryotherapy combined with standard first-line therapy for advanced non-cell lung cancer

Cisplatin/erythromycin control group (sequential intrathoracic injection of cisplatin/erythromycin)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Other: Sequential intrathoracic injection of cisplatin/erythromycin combined with standard first-line therapy for advanced non-cell lung cancer

Blank control group

OTHER

Only intrathoracic tube was used to drain pleural effusion, and local pleural cavity was not treated.

Other: Standard first-line therapy for advanced non-cell lung cancer without intrathoracic treatment

Interventions

Medical thoracoscopic cryotherapy: medical thoracoscopy biopsy hole insert bendable freezing probes, place the frozen probe placed in the center of the tumor at the top will be frozen carbon dioxide gas source pressure adjustment to the bar of 50-60 bar, tread down switch, foot pedal to start the probe, after about 30 s at the top of the probe to form a ice hockey, local tissue after frozen white, sometimes a small amount of bleeding; Fix the probe, loosen the pedal, and wait 30 seconds for automatic melting and rewarming (bleeding probability is low after full rewarming). Freeze 5 to 10 at a time. In addition, all patients were treated with standard first-line regimens according to guidelines of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores.

Experimental group (medical thoracoscopic cryotherapy)

The pleural effusion was fully drained and cisplatin 40mg/m2 was given, dissolved in 100mL 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution 100 mL, then injected into the pleural cavity and retained for 24 hours. Erythromycin was sequentially injected into the thorax to seal the pleural cavity. In addition, all patients were treated with standard first-line regimens according to guidelines of NSCLC and ECOG scores.

Cisplatin/erythromycin control group (sequential intrathoracic injection of cisplatin/erythromycin)

Only intrathoracic tube was used to drain pleural effusion, and local pleural cavity was not treated. In addition, all patients were treated with standard first-line regimens according to guidelines of NSCLC and ECOG scores.
