The tip (24) of the insertion stylet (22) is sharp for ease of insertion into the prostate. A needle sleeve (28) has a larger diameter than the insertion stylet (22). A needle (36) is loaded with radioactive seeds (37), and spacer elements (39)....
Permanent seed implant is an established treatment for prostate cancer that is now being tested for APBI. The invasive procedure involves the insertion of radioactive iodine or palladium seeds under ultrasound guidance with local anesthesia. The seeds deliver a dose of up to 90 Gy at a relatively...
Background and purpose: To analyze the treatment results of transperineal (125)Iodine seeds in localized prostate cancer. Patients and methods: Between 1985 and 1996, 102 patients with T1-T2 NO prostate cancer were treated with transperineal (125)Iodine seed implants at the Academic Medical Centre...
prostate gland, which are then filled with radioactive material (iridium-192 or cesium 137) for 5-15 minutes. After each treatment the radioactive material is removed. This is repeated two to three times over the next several days. After the final treatment, the catheters or needles are ...
Since August 1981, a permanent implantation with iodine-125 seeds has been performed in 41 patients with localized prostatic cancer. The seeds are implante... JJ Battermann,TA Boon,HJ De Voogt - 《Radiotherapy & Oncology Journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology & Oncology》 被...
Seed implant brachytherapy has been widely accepted as a treatment option for localised T1-T2 prostate tumours, a technique in which radioactive sources (seeds) are implanted permanently in the prostate gland. Apart from some patient-related factors such as PSA, Gleason score and clinical stage, ...
Why Prostate Seed Implant? Brachytherapy for prostate cancer is also known as Prostate Seed Implantation (PSI). Brachytherapy is an innovative cancer treatment that places radiation sources or seeds directly inside the prostate allowing for a highly targeted treatment dose to be delivered while limiting...
IDENTIFICATION OF PATIENTS AT INCREASED RISK FOR PROLONGED URINARY RETENTION FOLLOWING RADIOACTIVE SEED IMPLANTATION OF THE PROSTATE Purpose Urinary retention is a frequently reported complication following radioactive seed implantation of the prostate. If retention is refractory, a post-implant transurethral ...
