 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 CT-guided 125I implantation in treating pancreatic cancer Keywords:: CT-guided; 125I pancreatic cancer [Abstract] Objective To investigate the 125I radioactive seed implantation of CT-guided inter-organizational efficacy of the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. Methods 6 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer patients. Permanent implantation of 125I particles will be the organization of regional cancer and postoperative CT scans were observed by the distribution, and tumor size and clinical signs of morphological changes in order to observe efficient. Response rate was 50% of the patients resulted in mean survival time was 11.5 months, of which 1 case up to 21 months, no significant complications occurred. Conclusion of permanent implantation of 125I particle inter-organizational treatment of pancreatic cancer is simple, safe and effective. [Keywords:] CT-guided; 125I pancreatic cancer Pancreatic cancer is a common malignancy of the digestive system, its incidence rate is still the upswing. Incidence of hidden and difficult to be early detection, surgery more difficult, the damage heavy right radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not sensitive and therefore the prognosis is still poor. Radiation treatment of tumors growing inter-organization is a direct cultivation of radionuclides to the tumor in or around the tumor, through the sustained release of radionuclides rays to reach the purpose of anti-tumor cells [1]. It is a new cancer treatment that should be based on a computer stereotactic planning system (Treatment plan System, TPS) design, according to tumor size, shape and guide the direction of puncture, and the number of particles implanted to evaluate the effects of treatment. In concluding my hospital CT-guided right six cases of pancreatic cancer tumors implanted 125I particles within the report on the results as follows. 1 Data and methods 1.1 General Information December 2004 ~ December 2006 between, CT-guided implant
