Anatomical basis and histopathological changes resulting from selective internal radiotherapy for liver metastases
BACKGROUND Knowledge that liver tumours preferentially take their blood supply from the arterial blood supply rather than the portal venous system can be used for local delivery of treatment or for embolisation to cut off the blood supply to tumours. AIMS To present histological evaluation of malignant and non-malignant hepatic tissue of one such therapy, selective internal radiation therapy ...
متن کاملRadioembolization with selective internal radiation microspheres for neuroendocrine liver metastases.
BACKGROUND There are limited effective treatment options available and a poor 5-year survival for patients with inoperable neuroendocrine liver metastases (NETLMs). In this study, the authors prospectively assessed the safety and efficacy of treatment with yttrium 90 ((90)Y) radioactive microspheres for patients with unresectable NETLMs. METHODS Radioactive (90)Y resin microspheres (selective...
متن کاملStereotactic Radiotherapy for Liver Metastases
Liver metastases are common in oncologic patients, causing substantial morbidity and mortality. Systemic therapy is now standard palliative treatment for most patients with liver metastases, often providing transient responses and increased overall survival. In selected oligometastatic patients, local treatment can lead to long disease-free intervals and even permanent disease control. Although...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiotherapy for liver metastases.
The role for local ablative therapies in the management paradigm of oligometastatic liver disease is increasing. The evidence base supporting the use of stereotactic body radiotherapy for liver metastases has expanded rapidly over the past decade, showing high rates of local control with low associated toxicity. This review summarises the evidence base to date, discussing optimal patient select...
متن کاملSelective internal radiotherapy for hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
A 39 year-old male patient was admitted with complaints of weakness and right upper quadrant pain. Abdominal CT and FDG-PET/CT showed multiple nodular lesions involving both liver lobes, the largest of which was 4x2 cm in diameter and localized to the sixth segment. Further, multiple lymph nodes with an average of 2.5 cm diameter including necrotic components were also detected in the porta hep...
