Radioembolization is a form of brachytherapy in which intra-arterially injected 90Y-loaded
microspheres serve as sources for internal radiation purposes. It produces average disease …

Background All randomised phase 3 studies of selective internal radiation therapy for
advanced hepatocellular carcinoma published to date have reported negative results …

Primary liver tumours (ie hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or intrahepatic
