Objective: This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of bronchial arterial chemoembolization (BACE) in the treatment of advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through a meta-analysis of single-group rate, providing evidence-based guidance for clinical treatment. Materials and Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases for relevant studies up to January 15, 2024. Inclusion criteria encompassed single-arm or multi-arm studies of nonrandomized controlled trials, observational studies, and single-arm studies in English language, focusing on NSCLC patients treated with BACE. Data extraction, quality assessment, and statistical analysis were performed following predefined protocols. Results: In total, 172 articles were initially retrieved, with 11 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The included studies comprised 510 patients. Meta-analysis revealed significant heterogeneity among studies for median progression-free survival (PFS), median overall survival (OS), objective response rate, and disease control rate. The combined median PFS was 6.87 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.30-8.44), and the combined median OS was 13.68 months (95% CI 10.69-16.67). Subgroup analysis based on intervention measures demonstrated varying efficacy outcomes. Adverse reactions associated with BACE were generally mild, with no reports of grade 3 or higher adverse events. Conclusion: BACE emerges as a promising treatment modality for advanced NSCLC, exhibiting favorable efficacy and safety profiles.
