      Background

      Development of endoscopic therapeutic methods for early central lung cancer.

      During the period from 1984 to 2019 in P.A.Hertsen Moscow Research Oncologic Institute has accumulated clinical experience in endoscopic diagnostics and treatment of early central lung cancer in 129 patients (176 tumors). X-Ray negative ECLC was observed in 86% of cases. As a treatment approach - electrocoagulation was in used from 1984 to 1993 in 73 patients (91 tumors) with ECLC, PDT and argon plasma coagulation (APC) were used from 1992 to 2019 in 56 patients (85 tumors). The following agents for used for PDT: radachlorine, photohem, photosense photolon. Endoscopic methods in 90% of cases was selected due to unfeasibility of the conventional surgery.

      In the group of patients with ECLC treated by electrocoagulation the complete tumor regression was observed in 89% of cases. The tumor recurrence observed only in 17% of cases. In the patients who received PDT and APC the results were determined by the tumor size. When the tumor size was not greater than 1 cm, complete regression was achieved in 100% of cases. When the tumor size ranged from 1 to 1.5 cm complete resorption was achieved in 75% of cases. and with the tumor size up to 2.5 cm complete regression was achieved in 29% of cases. In 9% of cases the recurrences were diagnosed. Follow-up period lasted up to 15 years. Median survival was 5.05 years. Five year survival rate was 50±12 %.

      Intraluminal endoscopic treatment methods - photodynamic therapy and argon-plasma coagulation in early central lung cancer patients, declined of conventional surgery, provides complete tumor regression in most of cases. 5-year disease-free survival achieved in half of patients group.
