Résumé

Many studies have investigated the efficacy and safety of lentinan combined with cisplatin versus cisplatin alone for controlling malignant pleural effusion (MPE). This study is a meta-analysis of available evidence. Seventeen studies reporting lentinan combined with cisplatin versus cisplatin alone for controlling MPE were reviewed. Pooled odds ratios and hazard ratio with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the fixed effects model of meta-analysis. The overall response rate (ORR) of lentinan combined with cisplatin for controlling MPE was significantly higher than that of cisplatin alone (P < 0.001). In addition, lentinan combined with cisplatin showed a better benefit of quality of life (QOL) compared with cisplatin alone (P < 0.001). The main adverse effects (AEs) found in the control plan were hematological reactions, nausea/vomiting, chest pain and fever. However, the presence of lentinan did not have an extra influence on the incidence of AEs (P > 0.05). Intrapleural injection of lentinan combined with cisplatin had a better benefit of ORR and QOL for controlling MPE, compared with cisplatin alone. Moreover, lentinan combined with cisplatin had a similar incidence of AEs with cisplatin alone.

BACKGROUND
Many studies have investigated the efficacy and safety of lentinan combined with cisplatin versus cisplatin alone for controlling malignant pleural effusion (MPE). This study is a meta-analysis of available evidence.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Seventeen studies reporting lentinan combined with cisplatin versus cisplatin alone for controlling MPE were reviewed. Pooled odds ratios and hazard ratio with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the fixed effects model of meta-analysis.
RESULTS
The overall response rate (ORR) of lentinan combined with cisplatin for controlling MPE was significantly higher than that of cisplatin alone (P < 0.001). In addition, lentinan combined with cisplatin showed a better benefit of quality of life (QOL) compared with cisplatin alone (P < 0.001). The main adverse effects (AEs) found in the control plan were hematological reactions, nausea/vomiting, chest pain and fever. However, the presence of lentinan did not have an extra influence on the incidence of AEs (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Intrapleural injection of lentinan combined with cisplatin had a better benefit of ORR and QOL for controlling MPE, compared with cisplatin alone. Moreover, lentinan combined with cisplatin had a similar incidence of AEs with cisplatin alone.
