Description

Objective: To discuss the method, therapeutic effect and safety of CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation for the treatment of cervical lymph node metastasis. Methods: CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation was performed in 32 patients with pathologically proved cervical lymph node metastasis. Results: The local effective control rates of the cervical lymph node metastasis at one, 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment were 81.3% (26/32), 84.4% (27/32), 93.7% (30/32) and 87.5% (28/32) respectively. Conclusion: For the treatment of cervical lymph node metastasis, CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation is technically simple and clinically safe with reliable curative effect; this treatment is very effective in improving local tumor control rate.
