Y90 for Liver-Directed Cancer Treatments: The PROACTIF Study
The key to personalizing Y90 may not just be treating the tumor, but understanding how much radiation a patient can tolerate, where to deliver it, and when to safely push the dose. In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, Drs. Tyler Sandow and Ryan Hickey join host Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy to explore strategies for using Y90 in hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases. They combine real-world data from a study of nearly 1,000 patients with insights into methodology and the many variables that influence these procedures.
This podcast is supported by an educational grant from Boston Scientific TheraSphere Y-90.
