Permanent Implantation of Iodine-125 Seeds as a Salvage Therapy for Recurrent Head and Neck Carcinoma After Radiotherapy
Seventeen patients with head and neck recurrent carcinoma underwent 125l seed implantation under CT or ultrasound guidance.The actuarial D90 of the 125I seeds implanted was90-160 Gy (median, 126 Gy).Median follow-up was 10 months(range, 3-48 months).The median local control time was 16months; the 1-and 2-year local control rates were 66.5% and49.9%, respectively.The 1-and 2-year survival rates were51.3% and 38.5%, respectively (median, 16 months).None of the patients experienced grade 4 toxicity.125l seed implantation was a feasible and effective salvage treatment for patients with recurrent head and neck cancers.
