Internal dosimetry for radioembolization therapy with Yttrium‐90 microspheres
The absorbed doses in the liver and adjacent viscera in Yttrium-90 radioembolization therapy for metastatic liver lesions are not well-documented. We sought for a clinically practical way to determine the dosimetry of this advent treatment. Six different female XCAT BMIs and seven different male XCAT BMIs were generated. Using Monte Carlo GATE code simulation, the total of 100MBq 90 Y was depos...
متن کاملPlanning Arteriography for Yttrium-90 Microsphere Radioembolization.
Yttrium-90 radioembolization (Y RE) is a contemporary transcatheter locoregional therapy for primary and secondary hepatic malignancies that is commonly utilized in modern Interventional Radiology (IR) practice.1 Unlike other targeted endovascular therapies, such as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and transarterial embolization (TAE), the current standard of care protocol for Y RE treatm...
متن کاملYttrium-90 microsphere induced gastrointestinal tract ulceration
BACKGROUND Radiomicrosphere therapy (RT) utilizing yttrium-90 (90Y) microspheres has been shown to be an effective regional treatment for primary and secondary hepatic malignancies. We sought to determine a large academic institution's experience regarding the extent and frequency of gastrointestinal complications. METHODS Between 2004 and 2007, 27 patients underwent RT for primary or seconda...
متن کاملYttrium-90 microsphere radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Yttrium-90 (Y90) radioembolization is an emerging strategy to treat liver malignancies, and clinical data supporting its use have accumulated in recent years. Y90-radioembolization has shown clinical effectiveness in intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, with a favorable safety profile. Retrospective data show similar levels of effectiveness to transarterial chemoembolization in i...
متن کاملCombined Yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy and external beam radiotherapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: From clinical aspects to dosimetry
PURPOSE Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is an effective treatment strategy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. However, the prognoses of patients with portal vein thrombosis, extra-hepatic metastases, or residual tumors remain poor when treated with SIRT alone. In these patients, sequential external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) may offer a chance of salvage. Here, ...
