Abstract: AIM: To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of paclitaxel in treating non-small cell lung cancer.METHODS: The Wanfang database was searched. The randomized control studies on paclitaxel treating non-small cell lung cancer were brought into the research.RESULTS: A total of 25 randomized control studies with 2160 cases of small cell lung cancer were brought into the research.The Meta analysis showed that the response rate of taxol treatment prescription was higher than that of control group[O R=1.12, 95 %CI(1.03, 1.23)] ;The incidence rate of leukopenia at grade Ⅲ and above was higher [OR =1.35, 95 %CI (1.05, 1.74)] than that of control group ;The incidence rate of induced thrombocytopenia at degree Ⅲ and above was decreased compared with control group [O R=0.37, 95 %CI(0.24, 0.58)] ;The incidence rate of induced digestive tract react ions at degre ; There were no significant differences of 1-year survival between treatment group and control group after chemotherapy [O R =1.15, 95 %CI (0.94, 1.40)].CONCLUSION: There is a certain therapeutic effect of paclitaxel in treating non-small cell lung cancer.Since there is a possible existence of bias in this systematic review of research, the results will affect the strength of the argument and more high-quality randomized double-blind controltrials were look forward.
