Official Title: RadioEmbolizaTion Using hOlmium-166 in Patients With Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Prospective, Open Label, Single-center Pilot Study
Brief Summary:
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 90% of primary liver cancers and represents a growing health problem worldwide. Most patients present locally advanced disease and are candidates for palliative transarterial locoregional treatment. Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) using 90Y has been used for more than a decade for patients with advanced disease. The use of 166Ho could offer a more personalized approach in terms of imaging and dosimetry. Aim: to evaluate the feasibility and safety of…
