Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) using Y-90 microspheres is a targeted treatment that delivers radiation directly to inoperable liver metastases. This video, produced by Sirtex Medical US, the company that makes the Y-90 microspheres used in the procedure, explains how it works.
You can locate a Treatment Center that offers Y-90 on the Sirtex website.
In COLONTOWN, we have a Y-90 group (hopefully by now you realize we have a group for everything!). If you are a patient or caregiver looking for treatment options for liver mets, please join COLONTOWN and ask for the Mighty Y-90 neighborhood.
