Successful treatment of Cushing's disease using yttrium-90 rods.
Interstitial irradiation using yttrium-90 (90Y) rods implanted by needle into the pituitary gland was used as primary treatment in 16 patients with pituitary dependent Cushing's disease. Clinical and biochemical remission was observed within three or six months in 13 and in the remaining three after a supplementary implant. There was no perioperative morbidity. Follow-up from the time of defini...
متن کاملRadioembolization of liver tumors with yttrium-90 microspheres.
Radioembolization (RE), also termed selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), has been gradually introduced to the clinical arsenal of cytoreductive modalities in recent years. There is growing evidence for efficiency in liver tumors of various entities, with the most prominent ones being hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and neuroendocrine tumors.

to produce a continuous outflow from the sampling device. In some tumors, but not in all of them, the pressure needed to stop this outflow was twice as large as that re quired for the normal subcutaneous tissue, and it was similar to that measured in the skin after venous obstruction. The sampling technic has been described in detail. Each sample was compared with the blood serum flowing into a...
متن کاملYttrium-90 radioembolization as a palliative treatment for liver tumors: a case study.
The best chance of cure for patients with liver cancer is surgical removal, but many tumors are too large or invasive. In addition, chemotherapy is frequently unsuccessful in this patient population. A case study is featured involving a patient determined to be a candidate for Yttrium-90 radioembolization, a minimally invasive liver-directed treatment used to target primary and metastatic liver...
متن کاملUse of yttrium 90 in persistent synovitis of the knee. II. Direct comparison of yttrium colloid resin and yttrium citrate.
The choice of radiocolloid for intra-articular therapy depends largely on factors of efficacy and safety. The fl-emission from yttrium 90 (90 Y) has a satisfactory range for use in the knee and a short half-life as well as freedom from gamma-radiation and from contamination. Since the demonstration by Stevenson, Bedford, Hill, and Hill (1971) and Stevenson and 12 others (1973) that chromosomal ...
