SYNPOSIS

The doctors discuss the application and workflow of single session Y90 therapy for primary and oligo-metastatic liver tumors. They discuss the latest data from various institutions, emphasizing reduced lung dose, lower time to treatment, improved cost-efficiency, and the advantageous safety profile associated with single session treatment. The discussion also covers ideal patient selection based on tumor location and vascular characteristics, the importance of cone beam CT, and how to identify red-flag features of vascular enhancement.

Our panel then reviews key technical considerations for single session success, including the use of flow-modifying microcatheters, gelfoam, and strategies for flow redirection. The episode concludes with a case discussion to explore the best strategy for a large liver tumor, detailing the specifics of each treatment and the potential role of combined therapies to achieve better long-term outcomes.
