Why Radioembolization for Primary and Metastatic Liver Tumors?
In addition to being an excellent option for patients with inoperable primary and metastatic liver tumors, radioembolization can be used in conjunction with other treatment modalities, such as chemotherapy, and as a bridging technique prior to radiofrequency ablation, surgery or transplantation. This highly localized technique addresses the challenges commonly associated with other cancer treatments by delivering radiation only to where it is needed. Healthy liver tissue remains relatively unaffected, and patients rarely experience fatigue, nausea or vomiting. Radioembolization is bringing new hope for greater survival to people with primary and metastatic liver cancer. It is also enhancing the quality of life for these patients by minimizing therapy-related discomfort, recovery time and side effects.
