Advantages Of Particle Puncture Needle Implantation Therapy

Nov 11, 2022

Particle implantation therapy has the following advantages: First, the local control effect of tumor is good. Radioactive particles continue to release low-energy rays, which achieve continuous killing effect on tumor cells of different cell cycles, so that the tumor is quickly killed, and the tumor shrinks or even disappears. Second, the side effects are small. Low energy gamma rays have a short range, and the surrounding normal tissue is reduced sharply, which avoids the damage of normal tissue and is easier to protect. Third, small trauma and less bleeding. The procedure uses a CT or ultrasound guided puncture needle to inject radioactive particles into the tumor under local anesthesia. Fourth, high accuracy. Real-time image guidance during operation, accurate positioning, good adaptability, can be avoided during implantation

Blood vessels, nerves and vital organs allow the particles to achieve a reasonable arrangement, so that high doses of radiation are located in the tumor.
