Abstract:
125I brachytherapy can generate a high dose within target tumor volumes to continuously destroy tumor cells due to its characters of low radioactivity, high precision, little trauma to surrounding normal tissues and high conformity. It is a more effective treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without chance of surgery and with weak constitution. Research progress of radioactive 125I particle implantation brachytherapy for treatment of advanced NSCLC were reviewed in this article.
