Selective Internal Radiation Therapy with SIR-Spheres ^® in Patients with Nonresectable Liver Tumors

Abstract

Our initial experience confirms that SIRT is a promising local therapeutic approach in patients with nonresectable liver tumors which is feasible and has an acceptable toxicity profile. Prospective data on comparing this treatment alone or in combination with other modalities are needed to answer whether long-term survival in this unfavorable stage of disease can be markedly improved.
