CT-guided percutaneous implantation of ¹²⁵I particles in treatment of early lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To analyze the efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided implantation of ¹²⁵I radioactive particles in treatment of early lung cancer.

Methods

Six patients were analyzed, including 4 squamous cell carcinoma, 1 adenocarcinoma, and 1 small cell lung cancer. TPS software was used to calculate the therapeutic dose amount of particles implanted, and the spacing and distribution of seeds in the target area and adjacent tissues. Under the guidance of CT, 20-55 particles were implanted at each site, with the total number of radioactive particles being 226, the particle spacing being 0.5-1.0 cm, and the implantation being performed in accordance with the principle of uniform implantation. The patients were each followed up with repeated pulmonary CT scans at 1
