Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seeds for malignant tumor at the Head and Neck. Methods From Oct 2006 to Oct 2008,26 patients received interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seeds in our hospital because of recurrent or metastatic malignant tumors at the head or neck after surgery or chemotherapy. ~(125)I seeds were implanted into the tumor tissues under guidance of CT. Results The operation was completed in all the patients. A median of 23 seeds (12～54) were implanted in each case. No complications, such as hemorrhage, infection, or seed migration, occurred in the patients. The patients were followed up for 3～24 months. During the period,the rate of local control was 54% (15/28) at 3 months,72% (18/25)at 6 months,47% (11/23)at 12 months,and 37% (6/16)at 2 years. Conclusion Interstitial implantation of '2!I seeds is feasible for ecurrent or metastatic tumor at the head or neck with a good short - term outcome.
