Radioactive 125I seed implantation for locally advanced pancreatic cancer: A retrospective analysis of 50 cases

Figure 1 Radioactive ¹²⁵I seed implanted in locally advanced pancreatic cancer. A: Preoperative computed tomography (CT) showed locally advanced pancreatic cancer (arrow); B: Postoperative CT showed the radioactive ¹²⁵I seeds implanted in the tumor.

Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival curves according to the chemotherapy status. The median survival for 26 patients who received chemotherapy was 14 mo, which was significantly longer than that for 24 patients who did not receive chemotherapy (11 mo) (P = 0.046).
