Abstract: Objective To investigate the optimal measures and clinical effect of perioperative nursing care for patients with cephalocervical cancer treated with CT-guided radioactive 125I seed implantation. Methods Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative continuous and comprehensive nursing was strictly carried out in 93 patients with cephalocervical cancer who underwent CT-guided radioactive 125I seed implantation treatment. The clinical results were analyzed and evaluated. Results The 125I seed implantation procedure was successfully accomplished in all 93 patients; the success rate was 100%. Shedding of 6 particles was observed in one patient, and shedding of 5 particles was observed in another patient; grade Ⅳskin injury was seen in 3 cases, which were improved after symptomatic treatment. All patients were uneventful at the time of discharge from hospital. Conclusion To ensure a successful CT-guided radioactive 125I seed implantation for the treatment of cephalocervical cancer, professional, meticulous and standardized nursing is the important guarantee.
