Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical efficacy and prognosis of implantation of 125I seeds under CT direction com-bined with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP)in the treatment of vertebral metastatic tumors. Methods All 48 patients with vertebral metastatic tumors who were treated in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2013 were selected. They were assigned to observation group and control group according to random number table,with 24 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were given conventional surgical incision, and patients in the observation group were given the treatment of 125I seeds under CT direction combined with PVP. General data such as age, gender, pri-mary type, and pain degree in both groups were collected, efficacy and complications after the treatment in both groups were statistically collected, and statistical analysis was carried out for the collected data. Results Effective rate of treatment was 79.2% in the observation group, and effective rate of treatment was 50.0% in the control group. The difference of both groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). Incidence of postoperative complications was 16.7%in the observation group, significantly lower than 79.1% in the control group. The difference of both groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). A total of 34 centrums in 24 patients in the observation group all successfully completed the treatment of 125I seeds combined with PVP,and the successful rate of surgery was 100%. 1,2 and 3 seed needles were used to be implanted into 12,14 and 8 centrums respectively. Sleeping quality of patients in the observation group was generally better than that in the control group, and their depression degree was also lower. The comparison between both groups was significant (P<0.01); NIHSS scores of 24 hours and 14 days after the treatment were measured,and the scores between both groups were compared. Results showed that the scores in the observation group were lower(P<0.05). Conclusion Implantation of 125I seeds under CT direction combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty in the treatment of vertebral metastatic tumors has a favorable efficacy, and is able to effectively alleviate patients' pain; the treatment has a low incidence of complications and is able to control the development of tumors, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
