 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Radioactive seed implantation treatment of malignant tumor Nursing [Keywords:] tumor In recent years, the rising incidence of malignant tumors. Radiation therapy is an important means of treatment of malignant tumors, radioactive particles directly to the tumor tissue grown in the invasion by the tumor or tissue, by radiation to kill tumor cells, tumor cells loss of reproductive capacity, while allowing normal tissue from damage or only minor damage, so as to achieve good therapeutic results [1-2]. From May 2005 to March 2007 our department under direct vision at bronchoscopy, B-, CT-guided positioning will be planted 125I particles to the tumor target, a total of 12 patients treated cancer patients, and achieved satisfactory results, now nursing are summarized below. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 Clinical data of the group of 12 patients, 4 males and 8 females, maximum age 79 years, the minimum age of 41 years, mean age 56.4 years, were confirmed by pathology. Which 6 cases of lung cancer, 3 cases of rectal cancer, cervical cancer 1 case of submandibular gland carcinoma 1 case, 1 case of anaplastic thyroid cancer, patients in this group to grow 100% success rate. all patients were particles were followed up 3 months after treatment, only 1 case no change in anaplastic thyroid cancer, the other 11 lesions were significantly reduced, the symptoms under control. The post-operative care no particle displacement, migration and pulmonary embolism and other serious complications. 1.2 preoperative surgical CT films according to the information system by computer simulation program to determine a reasonable distribution of radioactive particles in the organization and number of dose distribution. According to disease and individual differences, and to determine the anesthetic or the B-CT guided percutaneous planting or planted in endoscopic surgery under direct vision, in accordance with the implantation of 125I treatment planning co
