Radioembolization with Yttrium-90 Glass Microspheres in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: European Experience on Safety and Long-Term Survival

Abstract

Radioembolization with Y-90 glass microspheres for patients with advanced HCC is a safe and effective treatment which can be utilized even in patients with compromised liver function. Because TTP and survival appear to be comparable to systemic therapy in selected patients with advanced HCC, randomized controlled trials in combination with systemic therapy are warranted.
