Abstract
Objective To explore the short-term curative effect and safety of CT-guided percutaneous implantation of 125I seeds in treating lung cancer. Methods Thirty-six patients with metaphase or terminal lung cancer had been analyzed.All patients were evaluated with TPS(treatment plan system)preoperatively and the post-operative quality was verified.Thirty-six cases were treated with CT-guided interstitial implantation of 125I radioactive seeds.After the implantation,CT scan was performed again after operation for 1,3 and 6 months respectively. Results The effective power was 88.89%,91.66%,88.89% respectively after 1,3 and 6 months.Pneumothorax had happened in 6 patients and it had disappeared automatically within 3-5 days.Manipulus hemoptysis had happened in 5 patients and it had been cured after using hemostatic medicine 3-5 days later.The complications of infection and cancer planting had not occured. Conclusions CT-guided interstitial implantation of 125I seeds is a safe and simple method for lung cancer with few complications and good short-term outcomes. Key words: Lung cancer; CT; 125I radioactive seeds
