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.

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 ...
