ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of bleomyin A5 combined with phosphorus-32 colloid in the treatment of mucocele. METHODS: A total of 214 patients divided into three groups, bleomyin A5 (50 cases), phosphorus-32 colloid (50 cases) and bleomyin A5 combined with phosphorus-32 colloid (114 cases). RESULTS: The efficacy of bleomyin A5 group, phosphorus-32 colloid group, and bleomyin A5 combined with phosphorus-32 colloid group was 84% (42/50), 82% (41/50) and 98% (112/114), respectively. There were significant difference in efficacy among the three groups (P < 0.05). The phosphorus-32 colloid group and the bleomyin A5 group had no significant difference in efficacy (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The independent use of bleomyin A5 and phosphorus-32 colloid is effective, but the combined use of the two methods is more effective.
