Radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres for pancreatic cancer liver metastases: results from a pilot study.
BACKGROUND Patients with liver metastases from pancreatic adenocarcinomas have a dismal prognosis. Surgical resection remains the only curative option but is appropriate for only a minority of patients as a treatment option. This is the first study to examine the safety and efficacy of radioembolization with yttirum-90 microspheres for these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients with hi...
متن کاملRadioembolization of liver tumors with yttrium-90 microspheres.

متن کاملYttrium-90 Radioembolization of Hepatic Metastases from Colorectal Cancer
Liver metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) result in substantial morbidity and mortality. The primary treatment is systemic chemotherapy, and in selected patients, surgical resection; however, for patients who are not surgical candidates and/or fail systemic chemotherapy, liver-directed therapies are increasingly being utilized. Yttrium-90 (Y-90) microsphere therapy, also known as selective ...
متن کاملYttrium-90 Radioembolization for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Liver Metastases
Background: Management options for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) metastatic to the liver include surgical, ablative, cytotoxic, and radioisotope approaches. One potential local treatment option includes selective internal radiotherapy utilizing yttrium-90 ( 90 Y) microspheres. 90 Y has also been used in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and tumors metastatic to the liver. It ...
