Computed Tomography-guided Brachytherapy Plus Chemotherapy for Locally Recurrent Rectum Cancer

April 21, 2015 updated by: Liangrong Shi, The First People's Hospital of Changzhou

Phase II Study of Computed Tomography-guided Brachytherapy Plus Chemotherapy for Locally Recurrent Rectum Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT guided 125I seeds implant plus systemic chemotherapy for locally recurrent rectum cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The primary aim of this study is to determined the safety and efficacy of CT guided 125I seeds implant plus systemic chemotherapy for locally recurrent rectum cancer.The patients with recurrence in pelvic or on pelvic wall after rectal resection were treated with 125I seeds implant plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. The side-effect, tumor response and survival data were recorded.
