Abstract:

Objective:

To investigate the value of PET-CT guided target localization technique in radioactive iodine 125 seeds implantation for treating malignant maxillary cancer.

Methods:

Eleven patients diagnosed with maxillary malignant tumors underwent PET-CT scans and CT scans. The three-dimensional tumor imaging generated data was converted into DICOM format by the treatment planning system. Virtual implantation was also manipulated according to the three-dimensional position of the tumor. Gross tumor volume and matched peripheral dose were compared in different imaging methods.

Results:

The volumes of BTV and GTV by PET-CT were (35.21±7.8) cm3 and (42.17±9.32) cm3, respectively. Compared to CT imaging, the volumes and dose were significantly smaller (t=7.25, P<0.05). No tumors recurred and there were no severe complications.

Conclusions:

PET-CT is a feasible and reliable method for the diagnosis and treatment of maxillary malignant tumor, and it can significantly improve the accuracy of iodine 125 seeds implantation.
