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.
The patient still experienced MCAO after conventional bronchoscopic interventional therapy.
The patient was diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma stage IV (T4N2M1a).
She received implantation of radioactive 125I seeds in the lesion inside the right middle lobe bronchus and 12R lymph node via bronchoscopy and EBUS, in combination with chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
The patient's MCAO has been effectively controlled.
The success of this case suggests that EBUS-guided 125I seed implantation to lymph nodes is a safe and effective therapeutic option for MCAO.
我们在此报告一例通过支气管内超声(EBUS)进行碘-125(¹²⁵I)粒子植入治疗肺腺癌患者恶性中央气道阻塞(MCAO)的病例。
患者在接受传统支气管镜介入治疗后仍存在MCAO。
患者被诊断为IV期肺腺癌(T4N2M1a)。
她通过支气管镜和EBUS在右中叶支气管内病变及12R淋巴结植入放射性¹²⁵I粒子,并联合化疗和免疫治疗。
患者的MCAO得到有效控制。
该病例的成功表明,EBUS引导下向淋巴结植入¹²⁵I粒子是治疗MCAO的一种安全有效的治疗选择。
