Radioembolization Treatment for Liver Cancer
Although curative treatment is surgery (resection/transplantation) and for small lesions ablative strategies, in primary liver carcinomas such as hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocellular carcinoma, palliative treatment is used for most of these patients because of lack of surgical options. These treatments are regional treatments such as transarterial chemoembolization, radiofrequency abl...
متن کاملPhantom validation of quantitative Y-90 PET/CT-based dosimetry in liver radioembolization
BACKGROUND PET/CT has recently been shown to be a viable alternative to traditional post-infusion imaging methods providing good quality images of 90Y-laden microspheres after selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). In the present paper, first we assessed the quantitative accuracy of 90Y-PET using an anthropomorphic phantom provided with lungs, liver, spine, and a cylindrical homemade lesi...
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 ...
متن کاملPredictors and prognosticators for survival with Yttrium-90 radioembolization therapy for unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastasis
This critical review aims to explore predictive and prognostic biomarkers of Yttrium-90 (Y90) radioembolization therapy of colorectal liver metastases. A brief overview of established predictive and prognostic molecular and genetic biomarkers in colorectal cancer therapies will be discussed. A review of the literature on imaging modalities, genetic, metabolic and other molecular markers and the...
متن کاملYttrium-90 Radioembolization for Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases: A Single Institution Experience
Purpose. We sought to evaluate our experience using yttrium-90 ((90)Y) resin microsphere hepatic radioembolization as salvage therapy for liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods. A retrospective review of consecutive patients with unresectable mCRC who were treated with (90)Y after failing first and second line systemic chemotherapy. Demographics, treatment dose, biochemical...
