Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of brachytherapy by percutaneous paracentesis implantation of iodine-125 seeds for elderly non-small cell lung cancer.Methods 18 patients with peripheral lung cancer were undergone brachytherapy by percutaneous paracentesis implantation of iodine-125 seeds.The effect was evaluated by periodically chest CT.The complications were analyzed.Results 18 patients were observed one,two and six months after operation.CR,PR,SD were seen in 27.8％(3/18),66.7％(14/18),5.6％(1/18)respectively of the patients.Pneumothorax,hemoptysis were seen in 16.67％(3/18),95.37％(17/18),no pleural cavity bleeding.Conclusion Brachytherapy by percutaneous paracentesis implantation of iodine-125 seeds for lung cancer was effecitve.The complications were easy to treat.The methods of implantation of iodine-125 seeds could fully play the advantages of CT,and reduce the damage to the body when raising the tumorous control rate.
