Abstract:
We report the successful application of radioembolization (SIRT) in a 77-year-old man with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis and repeated episodes of macroscopic hematuria due to a large renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney extending to liver segment VI. A compassionate SIRT therapy was performed with resin microspheres through the upper pole renal artery and the feeding segmental artery of liver segment VI. Hematuria was resolved after treatment, and 4 months later, a follow-up CT scan revealed tumor size reduction and complete tumor necrosis (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria). Ablative SIRT therapy could be a safe and efficient option in a large inoperable RCC.
