| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Demands of less invasive stereotactic radiotherapy have emerged, especially for non-small lung cancer,liver cancer, and prostate cancer. In this method, the application of a fiducial marker is a key to achieve accurate targeting even if a tumor moves by respiratory fluctuation. In this research, we propose a new fiducial marker made of arroy, as a domestic medical device.The fiducial marker has been evaluated of its potencies, especially excellent visibility and less artifact compared to the gold marker.In addition,bio-compatibility of the fiducial marker has been investigated by cell toxicity experiment and animal experiments.The results showed excellent bio-compatibility in a 12-week observation period. With the outcome of these exploitations, we proposed a novel bio-degradable fiducial marker for radiation therapy.
