چکیده
From Jan 1, 1983 to April 30, 1989, 32 patients underwent 38 endobronchial treatments with 192Ir, bronchoscopically inserted for treatment of endobronchial obstructions secondary to bronchogenic carcinoma. Thirty-four of the 38 treatments were far enough apart to allow separate response analysis. Thirty of the 34 patients were symptomatically improved or stable; 22 of 24 patients who could be evaluated roentgenographically showed improved or stable chest roentgenograms, and ten of 12 patients evaluated bronchoscopically demonstrated improved patency of bronchial lumen.
