Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Primary liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ranks among the top causes of cancer deaths worldwide. Traditionally, liver cancer has been associated with a dismal prognosis, which has led to extensive research into potential treatments. Over the past decade, there have been substantial advancements, particularly in the area of locoregional therapies such as radioembolization. This paper provides a summary of the expanding role of radioembolization in HCC treatment, emphasizing recent updates in therapeutic guidelines and ongoing clinical research.
