Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of paclitaxel plus cisplatin(PC) and paclitaxel plus ox-aliplatin(PO) for treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Methods:PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,Web of Science,CNKI,CBM-disc,VIP and WanFang Data were searched up to October 2013. Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) of PC versus PO for trearing advanced non-small cell lung cancer were extracted,reviewed,and validated according to the study protocol by two reviewers independently. Results:Fourteen RCTs involving 929 patients were included. The pooled results indicated that PC and PO had comparable efficacy concerning overall response rate(RR=1.10,95%CI=0.91 to 1.32,P=0.33),disease control rate(RR=1.02,95%CI=0.93 to 1.11,P=0.65),one-year survival rate(RR=1.03,95%CI=0.81 to 1.31,P=0.84) and alopecia rate(RR=0.96,95%CI=0.76 to 1.22,P=0.75). Leucopenia,gastrointestinal and kidney toxicity were more serious in PC(P<0.05). Neuritis toxicity was more serious in PO(P<0.05). Conclusion:PO had the same efficacy as PC in treating mid-advanced non-small cell lung cancer,but its toxic effect is milder,and could be considered as supernormal chemotherapy besides the conventional guideline and norm. Simultane-ously,research advances in this field should be continued to make the results more reasonable.
