Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), or radioembolization, offers a promising treatment for liver cancers when surgery isn't an option. This review covers SIRT's background, methods, outcomes, and potential complications for liver malignancies.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology and Oncology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Liver malignancies, including primary cancers and metastases, pose a significant global health burden.
  • Curative surgical options like transplant or resection are feasible for only 10% of patients due to late-stage diagnosis.
  • Existing treatments such as chemotherapy and chemoembolization offer limited survival benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) for liver malignancies.
  • To introduce the background, techniques, clinical outcomes, and potential complications associated with SIRT.
  • To highlight SIRT as a viable alternative treatment for patients with primary and metastatic liver tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT).
Keywords:

  • Discussion of the technical aspects and procedures involved in performing SIRT.
  • Analysis of clinical outcomes and complication data from published studies on SIRT.

    • Main Results:

    • SIRT, also known as radioembolization, is an established treatment modality for liver tumors.
    • Evidence supports SIRT's efficacy in managing both primary and metastatic liver malignancies.
    • The review details the procedural techniques, expected clinical results, and known complications of SIRT.

    Conclusions:

    • Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) presents a valuable alternative treatment for patients with liver malignancies.
    • SIRT demonstrates potential for improved outcomes in cases where curative surgery is not possible.
    • Understanding SIRT's background, techniques, outcomes, and complications is crucial for its effective application.
