Abstract

To summarize the treatment process of a case of Iodine-125 Brachytherapy for Palliative Treatment ofPainful Colorectal Cancer Port-Site Metastases. We present a case report of multifocal port-site metastases ( PSMs ) that developed in a patient withstage IV ascending colonic adenocarcinoma and mucinous cancer following laparoscopic surgery. After multilinetherapy failed, painful PSMs treated with repeated iodine-125 seed implantation. Severe abdominal discomfort were eventually successfully managed after receiving iodine-125brachytherapy. For painful PSMs, iodine-125 brachytherapy can be a safe and effective treatment option.
