Abstract:
2 months) was 93%(14/15); both 1- and 2-year local control rates were 83%; and 1- and 2-year survival rates were 72.9% and 62.5%, respectively. The median survival time was 32 months. Three patients had distant metastasis. Five patients died of lung metastasis (1 case) or multiple organ failure (4 cases). No complication or side-effect was observed in the patients, except skin ulceration in one patient. Conclusions Interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seed combined with or without external beam radiation therapy is convenient, effective, safe, and minimally invasive for soft tissue tumor, especially for metastatic or recurrent tumors.
