Brief Summary:
To compare the efficacy and safety of prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism by Nadroparin during hospitalization to long-term usage in patients with advanced lung cancer treated by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Lung Cancer Drug: Nadroparin, long term Drug: Nadroparin: short-term Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized and controlled study. Advanced lung cancer patients without venous thromboembolism(VTE) are included. The selected patients were randomized into A and B groups. Group A: Nadroparin given during hospitalization, 0.4mL, subcutaneously, qid; Group B: Nadroparin given by long-term, 0.4mL, subcutaneously, qid. The incidence of VTE , the risks of bleeding and overall survival in two groups of patients are studied at different time points.
