Superselective internal radiation with yttrium-90 microspheres in the management of a chemorefractory testicular liver metastasis

Panagiotis A Sideras et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2012 Apr.

Abstract

We treated a patient with biopsy-proven, chemotherapy-resistant testicular cancer liver metastasis using Y-90 selective internal radiation treatment. We chose yttrium-90 rather than surgery and ablation due to tumor location and size as well as the patient's clinical history. The result was marked tumor response by positron emission tomography and computed tomography as well as significant improvement of the patient's quality of life accompanied by a substantial decrease of his tumor markers.
