Histopathological changes resulting from selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT).

Background: Selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT) has emerged as an effective therapy for patients with liver malignancies. Here, we report our analysis of histopathological changes in tumors and healthy liver tissue after SIRT and liver resection. Our main intent was to determine if specific histopathological changes occur in tumor and normal liver tissues.

Liver resection after selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT): Proof of concept, initial survival, and safety.

Background And Objectives: Extent of liver resections are restricted by the volume of the future liver remnant. Different strategies have been developed to increase the frequency of curative resections. Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) has emerged as an effective therapy for patients with primary non-resectable malignancies of the liver.
