Resumo
Introduction: According to the World Health Organization, 20 million
new cases of cancer were reported worldwide in 2022 [1]. Iodine-125
seeds play a crucial role in a cancer treatment modality known as
brachytherapy. The advantage of this treatment lies in the direct
deposition of the iodine-125-containing seed into the tumor area,
preserving healthy tissue. Iodine-125 is employed in the fabrication of
these seeds. This radioisotope possesses low energy and a half-life of
59.4 days. Due to its characteristics, studies that facilitate the use of
iodine-125 seeds are relevant, aiming to benefit a larger number of
patients.
