Transarterial radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: a review
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer and is the second cause of death due to malignancy in the world. The treatment of HCC is complex and includes potentially curative and palliative approaches. However, both curative and palliative treatments for HCC are often associated with a not-completely favorable safety/efficacy ratio. Therefore, other treatment options ...
متن کاملLocoregional Transarterial Therapies for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Transarterial Chemoembolization and Radioembolization
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer in the world and the third most common cause of cancer-related mortality. Despite the widespread implementation of surveillance programs, more than half of the patients with HCC are diagnosed at late stages, when curative treatments (resection or liver transplantation) cannot be applied. For patients presenting with unre...
متن کاملNovel 175Yb-Poly (L-lactic acid) microspheres for transarterial radioembolization of unrespectable hepatocellular carcinoma
Novel biodegradable Poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) microspheres containing ytterbium were designed for intra-tumoral radiotherapy, especially for radioembolization. 175Yb possess both therapeutic beta and diagnostic gamma radiations. In this work, process to make ready radiomicrospheres 175Yb(acac)3-loaded PLLA for more consideration has been investigated. The radiomicrospheres were prepared with ...

متن کاملTransarterial radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: An update and perspectives.
In the last decade trans-arterial radioembolization has given promising results in the treatment of patients with intermediate or advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), both in terms of disease control and tolerability profile. This technique consists of the selective intra-arterial administration of microspheres loaded with a radioactive compound (usually Yttrium(90)), and exerts its t...
