Objective To systematically review the efficacy and safety of intrapleural injection of endostar combined with cisplatin in treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with malignant pleural effusion. Methods Databases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2016), EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about endostar combined with cisplatin for NSCLC with malignant pleural effusion from inception to February 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 10 RCTs involving 610 patients were finally included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: The overall response rate and the improvement rate of quality of life in the endostar combined with cisplatin group were higher than that of the cisplatin alone group (RR=1.71, 95%CI 1.49 to 1.95, P<0.00001; RR=1.68, 95%CI 1.44 to 1.96, P<0.00001, respectively). However, There were no significant differences between two groups in incidence of gastrointestinal reaction, incidence of leucopenia and incidence of thrombocytopenia (all P values>0.05). Conclusion Compared with cisplatin, intrapleural injection of endostar combined with cisplatin can improve the overall response rate and improve the quality of life of NSCLC patients with malignant pleural effusion. Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
