Description
Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of 125I seeds implantation for vertebra metastasis. Methods: By CT guide, 125I seeds were implanted in 22 vertebra metastasis of 15 patients. 3-6 months later, pain and metastasis biggest diameter were observed to judge therapeutic effect. Results: In 22 spinal and paraspinal metastases after implantation of particles, complete remission of pain (O grade)14, partial remission (I grade) 6, a slight relief (II grade) 2, the total effective rate was 90.9% (u=5.41, P<0.001). Change of spinal and paraspinal metastases size: 4 complete remission, 12 partial response, 6 stable disease, local control rate Was 72.7%. Conclusion: CT guided 125I seed implantation in vertebra metastasis is safe, minimally invasive, and possesses a high efficacy. (authors)
