Abstract:
Objective To assess the brachytherapy effectiveness and the utilization of 103 Pd seeds in tumor therapy. Methods 31 103 Pd seed brachytherapy patients were studied in RTOG/EORTC acute and late radiation morbidity scoring criteria. Results The brachytherapy effect of 103 Pd seeds in tumor patients is obvious.28 of 31 patients showed 0 score in acute criteria. 2 of 31 patients died without the brachytherapy reason. The late scoring is still needed. Conclusions The 103 Pd seeds can be safely used in brachytherapy of tumors which are low or midiam sensitive to radiotherapy.Cite
