  • * Number of involved regions per patient.

  • Four and 2 patients underwent radioembolization for right lobe and right lobe plus medial segment, respectively.

  • Number of therapies per patient.

  • SIRT = selective internal radiation therapy; AD = absorbed dose; PV = portal vein; TACE = transarterial chemoembolization; RFA = radiofrequency ablation. PRRT = peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; systemic therapy = mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor or chemotherapy.
