ABSTRACT
The morbidity and mortality of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)are among the highest of all malignancies.The mechanisms concerning metronomic chemotherapy include anti-angiogenesis, immune microenvironment regulation, and cytotoxic effects, among others.As an alternative to traditional chemotherapy, metronomic chemotherapy has shown promising outcomes in the treatment of advanced NSCLC.Several clinical trials have explored the application of metronomic chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced NSCLC, either as a monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, anti-angiogenic therapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy.This paper mainly reviews the mechanisms underlying metronomic chemotherapy and its clinical application in advanced NSCLC, in order to provide more evidence for the optimization of NSCLC treatment regimens.
