Review Meta AnalysisCan Aidi injection improve overall survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer? A systematic review and meta-analysis of 25 randomized controlled trials.
Aidi injection can significantly improve clinical response and reduce radiochemotherapy related toxicity. Can Aidi injection improve the survival in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)? Therefore, to further reveal it, we systematically evaluated all related studies. ⋯ Available evidences indicate that Aidi injection can significantly improve the clinical response and OS rates in patients with NSCLC and especially, the 1- and 2-year OS rate. But, Aidi injection plus different therapies had different effects on overall survival. It is still unclear whether Aidi injection can improve the PFS and HR.
