Selective Internal Radiation Therapy for Hepatocellular Malignancies: Existing Evidence and Advances
Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) is a locoregional treatment for primary and secondary liver neoplasms that spares the surrounding parenchyma while selectively delivering a high radiation dose to the tumour tissue. It functions by injecting radioactive microspheres into the hepatic artery supplying the tumour.
