Figure 4. — Treatment of a 72-year-old male patient (case 1). (A and B) CT Images prior to surgery. The patient underwent intraoperative ¹²⁵I particle implantation as macroscopic residual squamous carcinoma in the left upper lobe was found in the tissues beside the left main bronchus. Intraoperative ¹²⁵I particle implantation was performed at the bronchial stump and the peri-pulmonary artery areas. The left upper lobe was resected in October 2010, and 12 ¹²⁵I particles (29.6 MBq/particle) were implanted at the site of cancer residual No metastasis was detected in the implantation regions during when the patient was re-examined 2 weeks' post-operation. The local control rate was satisfactory. (C and D) Images at 2 years following surgery. No recurrence in the implantation region was detected.
