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.
