Tests a precise seed implant method for abdominal and pelvic tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a new planning method (using a “template” to guide the needle) can improve the accuracy of radiation seed placement for tumors in the abdomen or pelvis. It may help reduce placement error and improve safety for people who need seed implantation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You have one or more solid or partly solid tumors in the abdomen or pelvis
- You can safely have a needle procedure (your general health should be stable enough, with expected survival over 3 months)
- Your planned treatment includes placing radiation seeds using a safe needle path
- You are not using blood-thinning or platelet-affecting medicines that would raise bleeding risk (or you stopped them long enough, such as 1 week)
- You agree to take part by signing informed consent

This study uses PET/CT scans to map the exact location of your tumor and plan the best dose of radioactive seeds. The goal is to kill the tumor more precisely while reducing side effects.
This trial tests whether placing tiny radioactive seeds directly into a tumor, combined with immunotherapy (a drug that helps your immune system attack cancer), can help treat cancers that are new, have come back, or have spread. It's for people who can safely have the seed procedure and are eligible for immunotherapy.
This trial tests a combination of two local treatments—radioactive seed implants and cryoablation (freezing)—for people with cancer that has spread to multiple sites or created large tumors that can't be surgically removed. The goal is to see if targeting up to five specific spots can control the disease and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a procedure where tiny radioactive seeds are placed into spinal tumors to relieve pain and control growth. It is for people with cancer that has spread to the bone and who are able to undergo the procedure safely.
This trial compares a new approach that combines radioactive seed placement followed by freezing (cryoablation) against either treatment alone for solid tumors that cannot be removed. The goal is to see if the combination works better in shrinking or controlling these hard-to-treat tumors.
This trial tests a treatment that places tiny radioactive seeds directly into some of your tumors, combined with your usual cancer therapy. It is for people who have 6 to 10 tumors that have spread to other parts of the body (not the brain). The goal is to see if adding this implant procedure helps control the tumors better.
