| Core Tip |
In recent years, the incidence of malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ) in Asia has been 40 times higher than that in the Western world, which is a vital issue that requires significant attention. Irradiation stents using 125I seeds have been widely applied in the treatment of unresectable MOJ. However, more convincing evidence-based reviews of the efficacy and safety of 125I seed stents are needed. We used the latest data to further validate the superiority of 125I seed stents, providing strong evidence for clinicians to make correct decisions in clinical practice. Furthermore, we found that 125I seed stents resulted in equivalent complication and serum index outcomes as conventional stents, indicating that 125I seed stents are safe and well tolerated. |
