Abstract:
Objective To investigate the safety and curative effect of CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation in treating recurrent tumors in pelvic cavity and retroperitoneal space.Methods A total of 100 patients with recurrent tumors in pelvic cavity or retroperitoneal space were included in this study.CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation treatment was carried out in all patients.Results ① Of the 100 patients,complete cryoablation treatment was performed in 9 and palliative cryoablation treatment was adopted in 91.The following-up time ranged from 3 years to 11 years.The one-,3-and 5-year survival rates were 87.0％ (87/100),17％ (17/100) and 9％ (9/100) respectively.The pain relief rate after cryoablation treatment was 84.0％ (70/83).② Contrast-enhanced CT scan performed one month after cryoablation treatment showed that complete cryoablation was seen in 9 patients,presenting as no enhancement in the tumor frozen area on CT image;palliative cryoablation was seen in 91 patients,the ablation extent ≥90％ was obtained in 48 patients,the ablation extent of 80-90％ in 25 patients,the ablation extent of 70-80％ in 12 patients,the ablation extent of 60-70％ in 4 patients,and the ablation extent ＜60％ in 3 patients.③ Postoperative complications included local infection (n=3),which was cured after anti-infective therapy;intestinal fistula at upper rectum (n=1),which was gradually healed after enterostomy;transient dysuresia (n=5),which was recovered through retention catheterization for 3-5 days;fever lasting 3-5 days;and skin frostbite (n=3),which was cured after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion For the treatment of recurrent tumors in pelvic cavity and retroperitoneal space,CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation is quite safe.Complete cryoablation is very helpful for improving local tumor control and prolonging survival time.
