Computed tomography-guided implantation of 125 I seeds brachytherapy for recurrent multiple pulmonary oligometastases: initial experience and results

Abstract: PurposeTo retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous interstitial brachytherapy using 125I radioactive seeds for multiple pulmonary metastatic tumors.Material and methodsBetween September 2013 and December 2015, 22 patients with multiple pulmonary metastases, who after conventional chemotherapy and trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) therapy were considered unable to withstand stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), received CT-guided 125I brachythe… Show more

“…[23,24] Percutaneous ablation, either using radiofrequency or ICI, may reduce the patient treatment load and have good outcomes. [12,13,[25][26][27] Based on previous studies by our team, pulmonary metastases of 1-2 cm in size can be diagnosed and located in the lungs, and patients are able to tolerate treatment. [12,13] Nevertheless, access to small lesions (< 2.5 cm) is prone to failure, but methods for the accurate positioning of the access needle are scarce.…”

“…The prescribed dose was 135 Gy, which was chosen based on our previous studies. [12,13] Local anesthesia was administered with a 5-ml syringe (2% lidocaine; Yimin, Yichang, China) at the body surface location marker (Figure 1 Figure 3E). As in our previous study, the seeds were placed 0.5-0.8 cm apart in line with the TPS to the best extent possible.…”
