| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness and security of CT-guided percutaneous implantation of iodine-125 ((125)I)-labelled seeds in pancreatic carcinoma. METHODS: A total of 36 patients (25 males and 11 females) with an average age of 57 years (range, 39-84 years) were enrolled and categorized into Stage III (27 cases) and Stage IV (9 cases) of pancreatic cancer. There were 3 tumours in the pancreatic head and 33 tumours in the pancreatic body or tail. The average diameter of the tumours was 37.1 mm (range, 15-65 mm). The implantation of (125)I seeds was performed by using 18-G needles (length, 150-200 mm) through the anterior, lateral and posterior approaches. Then, (125)I seeds were loaded and released into the lesions. RESULTS: Implantations were performed via the anterior (23 patients), lateral (9 patients) and posterior (4 patients) approaches. During implantation, 3-14 punctures were performed for each patient, and a total of 164 punctures were recorded. Meanwhile, a total of 657 seeds were implanted with an average of 25.27 (range, 12-50) seeds per patient, and the success rate was 100%. The activity of each seed ranged from 0.55 to 0.65 mCi. A main adverse event occurred in one puncture and minor events in seven punctures. No significant relationship between the punctures or adverse events was identified. No serious complication was detected after the implantations during follow-up visits. CONCLUSION: This study suggested that CT-guided percutaneous implantation of (125)I seeds in a pancreatic carcinoma was relatively safe and effective for treating unresectable pancreatic cancer. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The CT-guided percutaneous implantation of (125)I seeds in unresectable pancreatic cancer showed highly successful rates without serious complications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
