Progress of correlation between bone marrow dose-volume parameters and acute hematologic toxicity in pelvic malignant tumor / 实用肿瘤学杂志

There is a high risk of myelosuppression in pelvic malignant tumors during concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The dose-volume relationship of pelvic exposed bone marrow( bone) is related to acute hematological toxicity during radiotherapy and chemotherapy,but lacks recognized parameters in this respect. The hematopoietic capacity of the bone marrow(bone)in different parts of the pelvic cavity is heterogeneous,and the pelvic bone marrow near the central axis has the strongest hematopoietic capacity,namely functional bone marrow. The relationship between dose-volume parameters of pelvic functional bone marrow and acute hematologic toxicity during chemoradiotherapy of pelvic malignant tumors may be the future direction.

Percutaneous CT guided interstial ~(125)Ⅰ seeds implantation for refractory pelvic malignant tumors;efficacy and technique / 介入放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous CT guided interstitial 125Ⅰ seeds implantation treatment for refractory pelvic malignant tumors and discuss the procedure of technique.Methods Twenty-three patients with refractory pelvic malignant tumors(25 lesions,diameter 3.5-7.0 cm,mean 4.5 cm) showing failure response to full chemotherapy and/or radical radiotherapy after tumors resection were undergone percutaneous CT guided intratumoral 125Ⅰseed implantation.Treatment plan system(TPS)was used to design the distribution and number of 125Ⅰ seeds according to matched peripheral dose(MPD)1-3 days before the procedure.Of which 6 cases received combined internal iliac arterial infusion chemotherapy before or after the 125Ⅰ seed implantation procedure.Results 9 ～ 75(mean 27)125Ⅰ seeds were implanted into a single tumor at first time including 6 patients with intraarterial chemotherapy for 14 cycles(mean 2.3 cycles),showed relief of clinical pain symptoms in 16 of 23 cases,72 h ～ 4 w after the seeds implantation;with the an effective rate of 69.6%.Follow up for 2-34 months(median,21 months),CT or MRI performed 2 months after the seeds implantation showed no CR,but PR in 18 cases,SD in 4 cases,and PD in 1 case,with overall response rate of 78%(18/23),and no serious complication.In addition,20 cases survived,with the longest one of 34 months and the other 3 died.Conclusions Intratumoral 125Ⅰ seeds implantation under CT guidance for pelvic refractory malignant tumors is safe,minimally invasive,and effective.
