Percutaneous Sclerotherapy of Renal Cysts with a Beta-Emitting Radionuclide, Holmium-166-chitosan Complex
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of a beta-emitting radionuclide (holmium-166-chitosan complex) as a sclerosing agent for the treatment of renal cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using 10-30 mCi of holmium-166-chitosan complex, 20 renal cysts in 17 patients (14 male and 3 female patients, ranging in age from 47 to 82 years) were treated by percutaneous sclerotherapy under ultrasonographic guid...
متن کاملTherapeutic Effects of Holmium-166 Chitosan Complex in Rat Brain Tumor Model
This study examined the effectiveness of Holmium-166 (Ho-166) chitosan complex therapy for a malignant glioma. Cultured C6 glioma cells (100,000 in 5 microl) were injected into the caudate/putamen of 200-250 gram Wistar rats. Five days later, a Ho-166 chitosan complex was injected into the same site of the glioma injection. Four injection doses were administered: the control group received PBS ...
متن کاملLong-term clinical outcome of phase IIb clinical trial of percutaneous injection with holmium-166/chitosan complex (Milican) for the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term tumor response after phase IIb clinical study and the safety of percutaneous holmium-166 ((166)Ho)/chitosan complex injection (PHI) therapy for small hepatocellular carcinoma as a local ablative treatment. (166)Ho is a radioactive isotope derived from natural holmium-165. We developed a (166)Ho/chitosan complex (Milican, Dong Wha P...
متن کاملA Pilot Study of Trans-Arterial Injection of 166Holmium-Chitosan Complex for Treatment of Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Percutaneous approaches, such as percutaneous ethanol injection and radiofrequency ablation, have been most widely used for hepatocellular carcinoma patients who were not eligible for surgery. New technologies to improve the efficacy are currently needed. (166)Holmium is a neutron activated radionuclide, and has several beneficial radiophysical characteristics for internal radiation therapy. (1...
متن کاملAlcohol sclerotherapy in the treatment of symptomatic simple renal cysts.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of percutaneous drainage with single-session alcohol sclerotherapy in the treatment of symptomatic simple renal cysts. Thirty patients (16 men and 14 women, average age 54,7+/-11,3 years) with simple renal cysts were treated by ultrasound guided percutaneous aspiration and single-session alcohol sclerotherapy. Patient demographics, clinical char...
