  2. Selective internal radiation therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_internal...

    SIRT, when added to first line therapy for patients with metastases of colorectal cancer, was evaluated in the SIRFLOX, [12] FOXFIRE [13] and FOXFIRE Global [14] studies. For primary liver cancer (HCC), two large trials comparing SIRT with standard of care chemotherapy, Sorafenib, have been completed, namely the SARAH [15] and SIRveNIB [16] trials.

  3. Sirtex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirtex

    Primary liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the most frequent type of liver cancer, accounting for approximately 90% of the primary malignant liver tumours in adults. Liver cancer is the sixth most prevalent malignancy and the third greatest cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. [5] Every year, around 600,000 ...

  4. SIR-Spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIR-Spheres

    SIR-Spheres microspheres are used to treat patients with unresectable liver cancer. These are mostly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), or metastatic neuroendocrine tumours (mNET). [1] Therapy goals are local disease control, downstaging to resection, bridging to transplantation, and extended ...

  5. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcatheter_arterial...

    TACE of liver tumors derives its beneficial effect by two primary mechanisms. [3] Most tumors within the liver are supplied by the proper hepatic artery, so arterial embolization preferentially interrupts the tumor's blood supply and stalls growth until neovascularization.

    Consultant interventional radiologist Dr Brian Stedman said his team had performed 300 procedures in 100 patients whose form of eye cancer known as ocular melanoma had spread to the liver, called ...

  7. Radiation lobectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_Lobectomy

    RL is performed in people with liver cancer, both primary such as hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic such as from colon adenocarcinoma.Surgical resection is considered the only curative treatment for liver cancer (other than liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma) but it can only be performed in patients with sufficient remnant liver after resection (amongst other criteria).

  8. Neuroendocrine tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroendocrine_tumor

    Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) [94] for neuroendocrine metastases to the liver [95] delivers radioactive microsphere therapy (RMT) by injection into the hepatic artery, lodging (as with HAE and HACE) in downstream capillaries.

  9. Interventional radiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventional_radiology

    Liver cancer: primary liver tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma or cholangiocarcinoma and liver metastases are often treated by procedures such as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT/Y-90 radioembolization), portal vein embolization, transarterial/bland embolization, or image guided ablation ...
