Abstract:
Objective To investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of permanent implantation of 125I radioactive particle in the surgery of malignancies such as brain tumors, liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, lung cancer, prostate cancer and malignant teratoma.
Methods Thirty eight patients proved by puncture biopsy, his-tology or cytology were retrospectively analyzed.Three-D images of the tumor were reconstructed using treat-ment planning system(TPS), the number and the dose rate distribution of 125I seeds were calculated.The matched peripheral dose of 125I seeds implantation was 60~120Gy, the number of 125I seeds implanted ranged from 6~40 per lesion, and the median amount of implanted 125I seeds were 23.
Results Twelve months followup after the therapy showed 9 cases of complete relief, 24 cases of partial relief and 5 cases of no change.The overall effective rate(complete relief+partial relief)of 12 months was 86.8%.
Conclusion Permanent implantation of 125Iradioactive particle in the surgery of malignancies treatment is a safe, effective treatment fortumors.
