The efficacy of coaxial percutaneous iodine-125 seed implantation combined with arterial infusion chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of coaxial percutaneous Iodine-125 (I) seed implantation in combination with arterial infusion chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer (PC) through a randomized controlled trial.

Methods: A total of 101 patients with advanced PC were randomized into two groups: control group treated with systemic intravenous chemotherapy and experimental group that received I seed implantation in combination with arterial infusion chemotherapy. Outcomes, including tumor control, abdominal pain relief, and survival time were compared between these two groups (Trial Registration No.

[Intermediate and long term clinical effects of uterine arterial embolization with sodium alginate microspheres in treatment of diffuse adenomyosis].

Objective: To study intermediate and long term efficacy of uterine arterial embolization (UAE) with sodium alginate microspheres (KMG) at diameters 500-00 microm in treatment of diffuse adenomyosis.

Methods: Totally 40 patients with standard diffuse adenomyosis were enrolled and treated with UAE. KMG at diameters 500-700 microm for vascular embolization were used to embolize the arteries.
