Description/Abstract:

DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF APPLICATION OF SEEDS CONTAINING RADIOACTIVE 198GOLD IN CLINICAL RADIATION THERAPY AT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, 100 PATIENTS WERE TREATED WITH THE NEW TYPES OF GAMMA- RAY SOURCES. CLINICAL EXPERIENCE IN THE FIRST 100 PATENTS TREATED WITH RADIOGOLD SEEDS HAS SHOWN THAT THESE SEEDS CAN BE USED SUCCESSFULLY AS REPLACEMENTS FOR RADON SEEDS. THE SIMPLICITY OF PROTECTION AND THE EASE AND RAPIDITY OF PREPARATION OF RADIOGOLD SEEDS OF UNIFORM STRENGTH ARE ADVANTAGEOUS. NO APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCES IN THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE WERE OBSERVED AS COMPARED WITH RADON SEEDS.
