Abstract

This study reports the technical application of stereotactic interstitial brachytherapy for malignant gliomas in two groups of patients. Group I consisted of 2 patients who had undergone previous debulking brain surgery; group II were 3 patients who were not candidates for craniotomy because their tumors were surgically inaccessible. The stereotactic implantation technique in group I was somewhat complicated due to the irregular shape of the residual tumor masses. Sophisticated pre-implantation planning was necessary for adequate coverage of the entire tumor volume. In this series, inoperable tumors were also successfully implanted with excellent results.

摘要

本研究报告了立体定向间质近距离放射治疗在两组恶性胶质瘤患者中的技术应用。第一组由2例先前接受过脑肿瘤减瘤手术的患者组成；第二组为3例因肿瘤无法手术切除而不适合开颅手术的患者。由于残余肿瘤块形状不规则，第一组的立体定向植入技术 somewhat complicated。为了充分覆盖整个肿瘤体积，需要进行复杂的植入前规划。在本系列研究中，无法手术切除的肿瘤也成功植入，效果良好。
