Summary

The purpose of this study is to verify the accuracy, short-term efficacy and side effects of 3D printing coplanar template combined with CT-guided I-125 seeds implantation in the treatment of malignant tumors of the head and neck.

Detailed description

Iodine-125 seeds Implantation (RISI) for the treatment of tumors, mainly with the help of imaging guidance, the radioactive I-125 seeds radioactive source is directly implanted into the tumor tissue, and the purpose of killing tumor cells is achieved through the continuous release of radiation by radionuclide. At present, it has been clinically used in the local treatment of tumors in head and neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, spine, columns and limbs. The main technical difficulties in implementing RISI lies in the complexity of operation and the control of operation quality.In the era of unarmed puncture, the quality of operation is difficult to guarantee, and the therapeutic effect is quite different.In 2015, our unit carried out RISI technology under the guidance of 3D model plates, which significantly improved the treatment accuracy of RISI. The current 3D printing templates are divided into two types: non-coplanar template (3D-PNCT) and coplanar template (3D-PCT). In clinical practice, due to the complex technical requirements, high production cost and long printing time of non-coplanar mold board, a considerable number of patients can be well treated with coplanar template.Compared with the non-coplanar individualized template, the coplanar template has the advantages of accurate needle path control, rapid needle path adjustment, convenient real-time optimization, batch production without waiting for template printing time, and the operation is easy to process, easy for doctors to grasp quickly, the cost is lower than non-coplanar template, and easy to carry out at the grass-roots level. However, most of the existing clinical application data of the template come from the non-coplanar template, and the dosimetry, needle path error and clinical effect of particle implantation guided by the coplanar template are still lack of research. Therefore, this study intends to explore the coplanar template technology and analyze the safety and effectiveness of 3D printing coplanar template combined with CT-guided I-125 seeds implantation in the treatment of head and neck malignant tumors. The purpose of this study is to verify the accuracy, short-term efficacy and side effects of 3D printing coplanar template combined with CT-guided I-125 seeds implantation in the treatment of malignant tumors of the head and neck.

Conditions

• Malignant Tumor of Head and/or Neck

Type	Name	Description
RADIATION	Radioactive Iodine-125 Seeds Implantation	Radioactive Iodine-125 Seeds Implantation(RISI) belongs to permanent inter-tissue brachytherapy. Guided by CT or ultrasound,radioactive I-125 seeds are implanted into tumor tissue, and radioactive I-125 continuously releases radiation to kill tumor cells.Radioactive I-125 seeds can reach a higher dose in the tumor, and the dose of the normal tissue around the tumor is lower, and the damage to the normal tissue is less while reaching the radical dose. The NCCN guidelines recommend RISI as the standard treatment for early prostate cancer. For early prostate cancer, RISI can achieve comparable efficacy as surgery, complications and side effects are lower than surgery, therefore patients can obtain better quality of life. RISI is also recommended by NCCN as one of the treatments for locally recurrent rectal cancer. Several studies have confirmed that RISI is safe and effective in the treatment of locally advanced or recurrent head and neck, chest, abdominal and retroperitoneal tumors.
