| Popis: | Neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases are commonly present at the time of neuroendocrine tumor diagnosis. Surgical resection is potentially curative and achieves the best long-term results but is not feasible in many patients. Angiographic liver-directed treatment modalities such as transarterial embolization, transarterial chemoembolization and selective internal radiotherapy using Yttrium-90 ([90]Y)-labeled microspheres have been shown to be effective treatments with liver predominant disease. Here, we review the management of neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases including selective internal radiotherapy. |
