Single-institution experience of radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres for unresectable metastatic neuroendocrine liver tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of yttrium-90 (90 Y) microspheres for the treatment of unresectable metastatic liver neuroendocrine tumors (NET). METHODS From February 2006 to September 2015, 36 patients (19 male and 17 female, age 63.6 ± 9.4 years) who underwent 90 Y

Hepatic yttrium-90 radioembolization for metastatic melanoma: a single-center experience.

Only registered users can translate articles

The aim of the study was to analyze the safety and efficacy of yttrium-90 ((90)Y) radioembolization in the treatment of unresectable hepatic melanoma metastases refractory to previous systemic/locoregional therapy. Between February 2004 and April 2010, 16 patients with hepatic melanoma metastases

Optimization of radioembolic effect with extended-shelf-life yttrium-90 microspheres: results from a pilot study.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of yttrium-90 ((90)Y) radioembolization with extended-shelf-life glass microspheres. We postulated that this approach, for the same planned tissue dose of 120 Gy, would increase the embolic load, improve distribution, and result in enhanced tumor

A systematic review on the safety and effectiveness of yttrium-90 radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Over the past two decades, several advances have been made in the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). Yttrium-90 ( 90 Y) radioembolization has recently been made a treatment option for patients with HCC and PVTT. However,

Neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases treated with yttrium-90 radioembolization.

Only registered users can translate articles

Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization is an emerging treatment option for unresectable neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM). However, the data regarding this treatment are currently limited. This study evaluates the efficacy and tolerability of Y-90 radioembolization and identifies prognostic

Impact of prior hepatectomy on the safety and efficacy of radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres for patients with unresectable liver tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Yttrium-90 (Y) radioembolization is increasingly used as a minimally invasive therapy for unresectable liver tumors; however, previous hepatectomy must be considered to avoid excessive hepatic insult. A retrospective analysis was undertaken to investigate the viability of performing

Gastric radiation enteritis after intra-arterial yttrium-90 microsphere therapy for early stage hepatocellular carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE As clinicians who treat hepatocellular carcinoma move yttrium-90 intra-arterial radiotherapy from the palliative setting to the treatment of patients with potentially curable early stage disease, more intense scrutiny of the safety of that procedure is warranted. To demonstrate the

Neodymium yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser resection significantly improves quality of life in patients with malignant central airway obstruction due to lung cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Neodymium yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Nd : YAG) laser resection is one of the mostly used interventional pulmonology techniques for urgent desobstruction of malignant central airway obstruction (CAO). The major aim of this trial was to evaluate potential influence of Nd : YAG laser resection on

A retrospective analysis of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with yttrium-90 microspheres in patients with unresectable hepatic malignancies.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). METHODS A retrospective analysis was undertaken of all patients who underwent SIRT at a single institution. Diagnostic and therapeutic angiograms, computed tomography (CT) images, positron-emission

Safety and efficacy of radioimmunotherapy with yttrium 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin).

Only registered users can translate articles

Patients with low-grade, follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma usually present with advanced disease, which is not considered curable with conventional therapies. New approaches are needed to improve the outcomes in patients with this disease. Yttrium 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin; Biogen Idec Inc,

Radioembolization with Yttrium-90 microspheres for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is aggressive primary malignancy of the liver that most commonly presents late in the disease course. As a result, the majority of patients are not candidates for curative therapies. Locoregional therapies including Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization play

Survival after yttrium-90 resin microsphere radioembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma across Barcelona clinic liver cancer stages: a European evaluation.

Only registered users can translate articles

A multicenter analysis was conducted to evaluate the main prognostic factors driving survival after radioembolization using yttrium-90-labeled resin microspheres in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma at eight European centers. In total, 325 patients received a median activity of 1.6 GBq between

Radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma using Yttrium-90 microspheres: a comprehensive report of long-term outcomes.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has limited treatment options; long-term outcomes following intra-arterial radiation are unknown. We assessed clinical outcomes of patients treated with intra-arterial yttrium-90 microspheres (Y90). METHODS Patients with HCC (n = 291) were treated with Y90 as

Resin-based Yttrium-90 microspheres for unresectable and failed first-line chemotherapy intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: preliminary results.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of resin-based yttrium-90 (90Y) radioembolization for unresectable and failed first-line chemotherapy (cisplatin plus gemcitabine) intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). METHODS From February 2006 to September 2015, a retrospective study was conducted of all patients

A Woman with Black Beads in Her Stomach: Severe Gastric Ulceration Caused by Yttrium-90 Radioembolization.

Only registered users can translate articles

Radioembolization (RE) is a selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) delivering targeted, high-dose, intra-arterial radiation directly to the vascular supply of liver tumors. Complications can occur due to aberrant deposition or migration of radiation microspheres into nontarget locations,
