What Is Radioactive Particle Implantation

Intertissue permanent radioactive particle implantation is a newly emerging minimally invasive treatment for tumor in recent years. It refers to a minimally invasive surgery in which particles (iodine-125 particles are synthetic radioactive isotopes that can continuously release low dose gamma rays to continuously destroy and kill tumor cells) are implanted into tumor tissues under the guidance of imaging system (ultrasound, CT, etc.). In short, it is to mine the inside of the cancerous tissue, blasting for a long time, continuous effect. At present, particle implantation therapy can be used for prostate cancer, lung cancer, neck tumor, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, soft tissue tumor and so on.
