Clinical efficacy of CT-guided 125I brachytherapy in patients with local residual or recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after thermal ablation

Key points 125I brachytherapy is a treatment for locally recurrent HCC after ablation. 125I brachytherapy combined with ablation may improve tumor control. Vascular invasion, multiple lesions, and AFP are prognostic risk factors. 125I brachytherapy is a safe method with a curative effect.
