Surgery remains the first option for curing early stage lung cancer. However, many patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and thus miss the chance to undergo surgery. As such patients derive limited benefits from chemotherapy or radiotherapy, alternatives based on local control have emerged, including iodine-125 seed implantation. The Interstitial Brachytherapy Society, Committee of Minimally Invasive Therapy in Oncology, the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association organized a group of multidisciplinary experts to revise the guidelines for this treatment modality. It aims to standardize iodine-125 seed implantation procedures, inclusion criteria, and outcome assessment to prevent and manage procedure-related complications.
手术仍然是早期肺癌的首选治疗方法。然而，许多患者在晚期才被诊断出来，因此错过了手术的机会。由于这些患者从化疗或放疗中获益有限，因此出现了基于局部控制的替代方法，包括碘-125 种子植入。国际近距离治疗协会、肿瘤微创治疗委员会、中国抗癌协会组织了一组多学科专家对这种治疗方法的指南进行了修订。其目的是规范碘-125 种子植入程序、纳入标准和结果评估，以预防和管理与程序相关的并发症。
