A novel approach for salvage treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer: percutaneous CT fluoroscopy-guided permanent seed brachytherapy for salvage treatment of lung cancer: long-term results of a case series

摘要

PurposeWe sought a curative technique to treat recurrent or primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a minimally invasive outpatient technique that could be repeated multiple times, had minimal pulmonary toxicity, and was readily available in the community setting. Percutaneous outpatient computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy-guided permanent seed brachytherapy fits these criteria.
