Yttrium-90 microspheres (TheraSphere and SIR-Spheres) for the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
(1) Microspheres containing radioactive yttrium-90 (90Y) are infused into the hepatic artery. These deliver high doses of ionizing radiation to inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of primary liver cancer. (2) Limited evidence from several case series indicates that palliative therapy with 90Y microspheres may reduce tumour size and increase survival time. (3) In some patie...
متن کاملYttrium-90 resin microspheres as an adjunct to sorafenib in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma
PURPOSE The safety and efficacy of the combined use of sorafenib and yttrium-90 resin microspheres (Y90 RMS) to treat advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not well established. We determined the incidence of adverse events with this combination therapy in patients with advanced HCC at our institution and analyzed the treatment and survival outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the...
متن کاملSelective intraarterial radionuclide therapy with Yttrium-90 (Y-90) microspheres for unresectable primary and metastatic liver tumors
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the success of selective intraarterial radionuclide therapy (SIRT) with Yttrium-90 (Y-90) microspheres in liver metastases of different tumors. We also interpreted the contribution of SIRT to survival times according to responder- non responder and hepatic- extra hepatic disease. METHODS The clinical and follow-up data of 124 patients who were ...
متن کاملTrans-arterial hepatic radioembolisation of yttrium-90 microspheres
The liver represents a frequent site for metastatic disease, in addition to being a site for primary cancer. Hepatic metastases from certain neoplasms, such as colon, neuroendocrine, melanoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumour have a distinct predilection to metastasize the liver, which in many cases may represent the only or the dominant site of disease. In these circumstances, cytoreduction ...
متن کاملYttrium-90 microspheres: a review of its emerging clinical indications.
BACKGROUND Many patients with liver malignancies are not candidates for resection, and systemic therapies are often not effective. Radioembolization (RE) is an alternative treatment for this group of patients. The safety and efficacy of RE with yttrium 90 (Y90) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or metastatic colon cancer to the liver have been proven in several studies. However, f...
