Popis:	Forty patients with a diagnosis of recurrent pelvic malignancy from various primary sites with no clinical evidence of distant metastasis were re-irradiated with interstitial implant. Removable after-loading 192Ir sources or permanent 125I seeds or a combination of both were used. Twenty-six of these patients received interstitial implant at the time of exploratory laparotomy. A complete local control of implanted pelvic tumors was achieved in 27 of the 40 patients (67%). Thirteen of the 40 patients (33%) remained alive and disease-free to a minimum follow-up period of two years. Serious complications such as soft tissue necrosis and fistulae occurred in 15% of the patients.
