Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy of combining rh-endostatin with chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) compared with chemotherapy alone. Methods The literature of randomized clinical trials(RCTs) that compared the efficacy of combining rh-endostatin with chemotherapy and chemotherapy alone form 2000 to 2009 were collected.Meta-analysis was employed to evaluate the Results of these therapies by RevMan 4.2.11 literature was seclected including 915 cases. Results Compared with control group,the total OR of efficiency rate of combining rh-endostatin with chemotherapy was 2.49,(95%CI,1.83-3.40),OR of the disease control rate were 1.91,(95%CI,1.40-2.59),both showing significant difference(P<0.01). Conclusion Combining rh-endostatin with chemotherapy was superior to chemotherapy alone in treatment of NSCLC in total efficiency rate and disease control rate.
