Figure 1 The procedure of the brachytherapy. A,B) Brachytherapy was performed with the help of far-infrared navigation guidance system and three-dimensional printed individual templates, C) The post-implant dosimetry parameters were then calculated.
Figure 2 Change from baseline in tumor size. Five cases with desmoid tumor underwent sole brachytherapy and the number of cases with radiological partial and complete response were 4 and 1.
Figure 3 The follow-up computed tomography image of case with partial response. A) Baseline, B) 2 days after brachytherapy, C) 2 months follow-up D) 6 months follow-up.
Figure 4 Change of the magnetic resonance intense signal. Magnetic resonance images from 3 cases underwent sole brachytherapy showed decline in the intense signal of lesion to muscle ratio.
Figure 5 The procedure of pathological examination. A,B) Core-needle aspiration was performed with the help of far-infrared navigation guidance system, C) No tumor cell was found in the specimen.
