Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) or trans-arterial radio-embolisation using Y-90-labelled microspheres is a treatment option for patients with unresectable primary and secondary liver malignancies.
Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), also known as radio-embolization, is a proven technology for inoperable liver cancer that delivers doses of radiation directly to the site of tumors.
Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) or transarterial radio-embolisation using Y-90-labelled microspheres aims to selectively target radiation to all liver tumours while limiting the dose to normal liver parenchyma.
