Eight patients with head and neck carcinoma were treated using permanent interstitial implants of radioactive I125 seeds. A marked decrease in radiation exposure to the medical personnel was achieved. The monitoring of the patients following surgery revealed that they emitted acceptably low levels of radiation for their out-patient status. Reactions to date differ depending upon the area implanted, although all show a slow buildup of maximum reaction. There is a paucity of reparative process seen in those cases where the palate was
