ABSTRACT
Radioembolization with yttrium-90 (90Y) microspheres is a locoregional procedure during which either resin or glass microspheres loaded with β-emitting 90Y are selectively injected into a hepatic artery.The microspheres are trapped in downstream vasculatures,at which point they deliver a cytotoxic dose of radiation to the target tumor.The safety and efficacy of this method have been demonstrated in studies of survival outcomes in patients with nonresectable hepatic malignancies.In this first part of a series of reviews on radioembolization with 90Y microspheres,we cover the basic characteristics of 90Y and 90Y microspheres,techniques for the radioembolization procedure,and methods for ensuring radiation safety and protection.
