Particle implantation of needle hazard

Particle Knife implants tiny radioactive sources into tumor tissue precisely in the shape of the tumor. A way to inflict devastating damage on tumor tissue through the low energy Y rays it emits continuously. The advantages of this method are: local brachytherapy to the tumor, the dose of radiotherapy is low, the duration of treatment is long, the damage to the surrounding normal tissue is small, and the lethality of tumor cells is strong. Hefei Cancer Hospital, and can avoid surgical trauma, no serious toxic side effects, reliable curative effect, for the recent clinical treatment of cancer one of the advanced means, and become a historical revolution in the effective treatment of cancer, for cancer patients to improve the quality of life, reduce pain and prolong the life of the Gospel.
At present, radioactive particles commonly used in medical treatment are radioactive iodine particles with diameter of 0.8mm and length of 4.5mm sealed by titanium alloy shell. Therefore, radioactive iodine will not be absorbed into the blood by the human body and cause environmental radiation pollution, and it is safe for patients, family members and medical staff.
