Figure 1 Radioactive 125I seeds implanted in pancreatic cancer patients with unexpected liver metastasis.
A: Preoperative computed tomography (CT) showed the primary pancreatic cancer (arrow); B: Postoperative CT showed the radioactive 125I seeds implanted in the pancreatic cancer.
Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival curves according to chemotherapy status.
