Transarterial radieombolization (TARE) - Liver
Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a transcatheter intra-arterial procedure performed by the interventional radiologist for the treatment of primary and secondary hepatic cancers. Microspheres impregnated with the radioisotope yttrium-90 (Y90, 90Y) are selectively delivered through the hepatic vasculature to the target tumor(s). Tumor shrinkage is the result of both radiation and ischemia. These Y-90 coated embospheres incite a foreign body granulomatous reaction
