186Re内放射治疗颅咽管瘤的临床疗效

目的 评价应用立体定向肿瘤囊腔内注射186Re治疗颅咽管瘤的临床效果.方法 应用立体定向穿刺置管注射186Re方法治疗囊性或囊实性颅咽管瘤19例,其中男性12例,女性7例.年龄5～58岁,平均37.2岁.肿瘤呈囊性者12例,囊实性者7例.注射核素186Re前,颅咽管瘤囊性部分的平均体积为8390 mm3.结果 随访6个月至3年,有7例患者囊腔完全消失,囊腔体积缩小>50%以上者5例,囊腔体积缩小≤50%者7例.治疗前视力减退的8例患者中,5例患者治疗后视力显著改善.治疗前垂体功能正常者无一例出现垂体功能低下;而治疗前垂体功能低下的4例患者中,1例治疗后垂体功能改善.治疗前表现为尿崩症的5例患者中,3例治疗后尿崩症状改善.结论 立体定向肿瘤囊腔内注射186Re是治疗囊性或囊实性颅咽管瘤简单、安全、有效的方法.

Curative effect of stereotactic 186Re endocavitary irradiation on cystic craniopharyngioma

Objective To evaluate the treatment results of stereotactic 186Re intracavitary irradiation in the patients with craniopharyngioma. Methods Nineteen patients were treated with stereotactic 186Re intracavitary irradiation, including 12 males and 7 females (average age, 37. 2 years). Among them 12 patients had a solitary cyst, whereas 7 patients with mixed structure (e. g. , a large cyst with a small solid portion). The mean volume of the cystic portion of the tumor before irradiation was 8390 mm3. Results The patients were followed up for 6 months to 3 years. The retraction of the cyst was complete in 7 patients, cyst volume decreased more than 50% in 5 patients and less than 50% in 7 cases. Among the 8 patients with visual acuity deficit before irradiation, 5 were improved. No hypopituitarism occurred in patients with normal pituitary function before treatment. One of the 4 patients with hypopituitarism was improved, 3 of the 5 patients with diabetes insipidus was improved. Conclusion Stereotactic 186Re endocavitary irradiation for the treatment of cystic craniopharyngioma is a safe and effective procedure.
