Segmental Yttrium-90 Radioembolization using Glass Microspheres Greater than 400 Gray for the Treatment of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Preliminary Experience

JVIR

Radiation segmentectomy dosed >190 Gy using yttrium-90 (Y-90) glass microspheres for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) has been shown safe and effective. The present study further increased dosing to >400Gy for treatment of iCCA, as complete pathological necrosis has been shown in hepatocellular carcinoma using this ablative approach. A total of 10 patients with 13 tumors (median size 5.3 cm, range 1.5-13.6 cm) at a single institution underwent >400 Gy segmental radioembolization.
