Production of seed source 125 I for treatment of eye and prostate cancer

Creators

Description

Brachytherapy sources was studied. A method was optimized to obtain 125 I on the palladium treated silver wires. The adsorption of palladium coated silver showed quantitative and consistent uptake (83 % ) of 125 I and exhibited low leach ability ( 0.06 % ) 125 I adsorption on palladium coated silver wires could be used as matrix for the preparation of interstitial source in eye and prostate cancer and also tumors of the head, neck, lung and pancreas
