Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of computed tomography-guided radioactive iodine-125 (I) seed implantation for oligo-recurrence soft tissue sarcomas following surgical resection.
Materials And Methods: Patients with oligo-recurrence soft tissue sarcomas after curative surgical resection between June 2013 and December 2020 were included. The primary outcome measure was objective response rate according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). The secondary outcomes included progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety profiles.
Results: Twenty-nine patients receiving computed tomography-guided I seed implantation were included in the study. The objective response rates at 2-, 6- and 12-month follow-up were 48.3%, 65.5% and 40.9%, respectively. The median progression-free survival was 11.3 months. The median overall survival was 25.1 months, with a 1- and 2-year overall survival rate of 81.5% and 50.0%, respectively. No severe treatment-related adverse effects occured.
Conclusion: I seed implantation has the potential to be an effective and safe treatment for oligo-recurrence soft tissue sarcomas after surgical resection.

Diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with pelvic metastasis expressing AFP: a case report.

This report presents the case of a 68-year-old female patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who experienced persistently elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels following resection of the primary liver tumor. The patient had previously undergone transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and liver tumor resection, but postoperative AFP levels continued to rise, suggesting the possibility of extrahepatic metastasis. PET-CT scans revealed an irregular soft tissue mass in the recto-uterine pouch, which was later confirmed as a HCC metastasis through needle biopsy.

Rationale: We report here a case of using iodine-125 (125I) seed implantation via endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) in the treatment of malignant central airway obstruction (MCAO) in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma.
Patient Concerns: The patient still experienced MCAO after conventional bronchoscopic interventional therapy.
Diagnoses: The patient was diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma stage IV (T4N2M1a).

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and safety of CT-guided iodine-125 seed brachytherapy in conjunction with chemotherapy against chemotherapy alone for the management of intermediate and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lacking oncogenic driving genes.
Methods And Materials: Retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 128 patients diagnosed with intermediate and advanced non-small cell lung cancer who received iodine-125 combined with chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone due to the absence of oncogenic driver gene mutations. The patients in two groups were compared at 6-month follow-up for objective remission rate (ORR), Disease control rate (DCR), local progression-free survival (LPFS), overall survival (OS), clinical symptom improvement, and adverse events.
Assessing fetal radiation dose from iodine-125 seeds in pregnant breast cancer patients: an updated model.

The treatment of breast cancer during pregnancy requires careful consideration of consequences for both maternal and fetal health. In non-pregnant patients, the use of radioactive iodine-125 (125I)-seeds is standard practice for localising non-palpable breast tumors before breast-conserving surgery. However, the use of 125I-seeds in pregnant patients has been avoided due to concerns about fetal radiation exposure.

Background & Aims: The effect of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus radiofrequency ablation (RFA) (TACE-RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in high-risk locations is not satisfactory. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of TACE-RFA plus iodine-125 (I) seed implantation (TACE-RFA-I) therapy with those of TACE-RFA for unresectable HCC (≤5 cm) in high-risk locations.
Methods: From January 2010 to June 2023, the clinical data of 126 patients with unresectable HCC (≤5 cm) in high-risk locations who received TACE-RFA-I or TACE-RFA treatment were retrospectively analyzed.
