Gastric Ulcer With Yttrium-90 Microsphere Selective Internal Radiation Therapy. [PDF]

Cureus
Radioembolization with yttrium-90 (Y90) is a recent oncological interventional radiology technique used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic colon cancer to the liver. Although Y90 selective internal radiation therapy (Y90-SIRT) is considered a safe and effective treatment, with increasing use, hepatic and extrahepatic complications have ...

Selective internal radiation therapy first-line therapy – SIRFLOX and FOXFIRE

European Journal of Cancer, Supplement, 2012
Liver-directed therapies such as selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT, also known as radioembolisation) are investigational treatments that have the potential to improve local control and survival in metastastic colorectal cancer (mCRC) confined to the liver.

Radiation safety aspects of 90Y bremsstrahlung radiation produced from radiation shielding apparatus using the Monte Carlo simulation [PDF]

Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2021
Selective internal radiation therapy using an 90Y labelled microsphere is increasingly used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma. Based on its properties, 90Y can produce bremsstrahlung radiation which is essential for post-treatment localisation ...

Selective internal radiation therapy for liver tumours [PDF]

Clinical Medicine, 2017
Primary and secondary liver malignancies are common and associated with a poor prognosis. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice; however, many patients have unresectable disease. In these cases, several liver directed therapies are available, including selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT).

Stereotactic Inverse Dose Planning After Yttrium-90 Selective Internal Radiation Therapy in Hepatocellular Cancer

Advances in Radiation Oncology, 2021
Purpose: Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is administered to treat tumors of the liver and is generally well tolerated. Although widely adopted for its therapeutic benefits, SIRT is rarely combined with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT ...
