Follow-up 3–36 months to assess patient survival.Results: Among the 62 patients, 3 months after Iodine-125 radioactive seed implantation, 5 cases(8.1%) had complete remission of cancer, 33 cases(53.2%) had partial remission, 12 cases(19.4%) had stable lesions, and 12 cases(19.4%) had disease progression. The effective rate was 61.3%. The tumor volume(31.44 ± 14.51 cm3) was significantly smaller than before(50.96 ± 30.13 cm3)(t=5.303, p < 0.05). The tumor marker AFP(69.28 ±50.99) ug/L of 3 months after implantation was significantly lower than that before treatment(90.63 ± 68.58)ug/L(t=3.702, P < 0.05). The average survival time of Iodine-125 seed implantation for stageⅣhepatocellular carcinoma is 11.47 ± 0.85 months, and the median survival time is 9 months. The survival time of the group with better pathological differentiation(grade Ⅰ+ⅡⅠ) was significantly better than that of the group with poor differentiation(grade Ⅲ+Ⅳ)(x2=6.869 p < 0.05). Among the 38 patients with different degrees of abdominal pain,22 patients improved better than before;15 of 28 patients with different degrees of ascites were better than before. All patients had no serious complications related to treatment.Conclusions: Iodine-125 radioactive seed implantation therapy can safely and effectively treat hepatocellular carcinoma, and relieve the clinical symptoms of abdominal pain and ascites.展开更多

Its treatment uses synthetic antithyroid drugs but the use of aggressive radical therapy such as surgery or non-aggressive therapy such as iodine-131 is not uncommon. Treatment of Graves’ disease with radioactive iodine or iratherapy is a simple, inexpensive, well-tolerated treatment. It was introduced in Senegal in 2016. We report through this work the preliminary assessment of the only nuclear medicine service in Senegal in the management of Graves’ disease by iodine-131. Patients and Methods: Retrospective study of the first cases of Graves’ disease treated with iratherapy in Senegal. Socio-demographic, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects were studied. Radiation protection rules have been implemented and contraception has been effective for six months in women of childbearing age. Results: 25 patients were collected with a mean age of 45 years, twenty women (80%), a family goiter in 24% and a psycho-affective context in 64% of cases. Thyrotoxicosis syndrome was associated with goiter in 68% of patients and exophthalmos in 64%. Thyroid ultrasound performed in 20 patients showed vascular goiter in 80% and thyroid scintigraphy in 3 patients, homogeneous and diffuse hyperfixation. TRAK dosed in 8 patients was still positive. All patients had received first-line medical treatment. The average duration of this treatment was more than 18 months in 92%. The empirically used iodine-131 activity averaged 15.35 mCi. Oral corticosteroid therapy was prescribed in 7 patients for the prevention of malignant orbitopathy. No early side effects were noted. The remission rate at 3 months was 52% and at 6 months was 88% to 92%. Conclusion: The effectiveness of radioactive iodine, in particular ablative doses in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, is no longer to be demonstrated. Taking into account our socioeconomic context, iratherapy should be a treatment of choice for hyperthyroidism with a good quality/price ratio and excellent tolerance.展开更多
