To evaluate the therapeutic effect of phosphorus-32 glass microsphere (

32

P-GMS) on hepatocellular carcinoma. By Seldinger’s procedure

super-selective catheterization was performed to the distal end of proper hepatic artery for instilling

32

p-GMS. Ninety-nine times of interventional internal irradiation were accomplished in 79 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma. Results shows that surviving rates in A or B regimen at half year

2 and 3 years were 100%

96.7%

56.7% and 43.3% or 97.9%

91.8%

61.2% and 51.0% respectively. The median surviving time after therapy was 585 days single multifactorial analysis revealed liver function

tumor size

clinical typing and accumulation of

P-GMS in the tumor mass and the therapeutic regime were the prognostic factors influencing the surviving rate of the patient. Conclusion:

32

P-GMS is a safe

effective and economic method for the therapeutic measure in treating hepatocellular carcinoma.
