Transforming Liver Cancer Care with Yttrium-90 Microsphere Therapy Liver cancer treatment has entered a new era with the advent of Yttrium-90 (Y-90) microsphere therapy, a groundbreaking procedure that delivers targeted radiation directly to tumors. Also known as radioembolization, this advanced approach brings hope to patients with both primary and metastatic liver tumors, particularly in cases where surgery or transplantation may initially seem unattainable. This treatment represents a sophisticated blend of interventional radiology, precision imaging, and radiopharmaceutical technology. Y-90 resin or glass microspheres are delivered through the liver’s blood vessels, directly targeting the tumor site with highly localized radiation. By leveraging nuclear medicine’s capabilities, this approach ensures both personalized care and improved outcomes for patients. Key Benefits • High Radiation Precision: Y-90 microspheres release potent radiation directly into tumors, sparing surrounding healthy liver tissue and reducing systemic side effects. • Effective for Advanced Cases: This therapy proves effective for large tumors and those involving complex conditions like portal vein thrombosis or widespread metastases. • Reduced Complications: Compared to conventional treatments such as transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), Y-90 therapy results in fewer complications, including a reduced incidence of post-embolization syndrome. • A Bridge to Surgery or Transplantation: By shrinking tumors, Y-90 therapy makes previously inoperable cases eligible for surgical resection or transplantation, opening doors to potentially curative treatments. • Improves long-term survival rates and quality of life for patients with appropriate selection and follow-up care. Where Can You Access Y-90 Microsphere Therapy? As a leader in precision oncology, we provide this innovative therapy at seven centers located in Istanbul, Antalya, Gaziantep, and Izmir. Our multidisciplinary teams, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, ensure comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. If you or someone you know is navigating liver cancer, consult with your oncologist to explore whether Y-90 therapy is the right option. Together, we can pave the way for better outcomes and renewed hope. #LiverCancer #Yttrium90 #Radioembolization #TargetedTherapy #PrecisionMedicine #NuclearMedicine #OncologyInnovation #AdvancedCancerCare
