Retreatment of recurrent pelvic tumors with iodine-125
- 1. Nebraska Univ., Omaha, NE (USA). Coll. of Medicine
Description
We describe our experience with successful retreatment of common pelvic tumors including recurrent cervical and endometrial cancer, colorectal cancer, and soft tissue sarcomas. Two different permanent interstitial 125iodine (125I) endocurietherapy (ECT) techniques were employed. The first technique, percutaneous transperineal template 125I ECT, was used in the retreatment of recurrent tumors located within the true pelvis. The second technique, implantation of 125I in Vicryl carrier following celiotomy, was used for retreatment of recurrent tumors located outside the true pelvis within the false pelvis.
