Abstract:
Yttrium-90 (90Y) radioembolization therapy can directly deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor being targeted,which has been demonstrated to be effective in treating patients with hepatic malignancy.Compared with transarterial chemoembolization,90Yradioembolization is less frequently associated with toxicities such as abdominal pain,fever,nausea,and vomiting.However,the efficacy and safety of 90Y radioembolization therapy are largely reliant on careful preprocedural evaluation and diligent follow-up.This review discusses the details of essential preprocedural work-up and postprocedural follow-up for patients treated with 90Y radioembolization.
