Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) in primary or secondary liver cancer
Copyright policy )Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) in primary or secondary liver cancer
Most patients with a history of common solid tumors will in the end develop liver metastases. Next to that, primary liver cancer, is a frequent cancer with fatal liver failure in the majority of patients. Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), has gradually been introduced over the recent years and is a promising, innovative albeit palliative treatment modality. The specific clinical background with regard to the indication and methodology of SIRT is presented and discussed in this paper.
