  2. What is Y-90 Radioembolization? • Minimally invasive procedure for liver cancer treatment. • Combines radiation therapy and embolization. • Targets liver tumors with high precision. • Goal: Deliver radiation directly to cancer cells, sparing healthy tissue.

  3. How Does It Work? • Tiny radioactive beads (microspheres) injected into liver arteries. • Beads lodge near the tumor, emitting beta radiation. • Radiation shrinks the tumor and limits growth. • Ideal For: • Patients with primary or metastatic liver cancer. • Not suitable for surgery or systemic therapies.

  4. Procedure Steps • Pre-procedure evaluation: Imaging tests & blood work. • Arterial mapping and simulation. • Y-90 microsphere injection via catheter. • Post-procedure follow-up: Imaging & lab tests. • Usually performed as an outpatient procedure.

  5. Benefits and Risks • Benefits: • Minimally invasive with shorter recovery time. • Precise targeting of tumors, sparing healthy tissue. • Improves quality of life and symptoms. • Risks: • Fatigue, nausea, and abdominal pain. • Rare: Liver damage or non-targeted radiation. • Visual: Table contrasting benefits and risks.

  6. Is Y-90 Right for you? • Discuss with an oncologist or nuclear medicine specialist. • Based on cancer type, stage, and liver health. • Part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
