Abstract:
Objective To discuss the method, therapeutic effect and safety of CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation for the treatment of cervical lymph node metastasis. Methods CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation was performed in 32 patients with pathologically proved cervical lymph node metastasis Results The local effective control rates of the cervical lymph node metastasis at one, 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment were 81.3%(26/32), 84.4%(27/32), 93.7%(30/32) and 87.5%(28/32) respectively. Conclusion For the treatment of cervical lymph node metastasis, CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation is technically simple and clinically safe with reliable curative effect; this treatment is very effective in improving local tumor control rate.
