Interventional Oncology Radioembolization Y-90

Advanced, Targeted Treatment for Liver Tumors

VIVA is proud to offer an innovative and minimally invasive outpatient procedure for treating liver tumors – Selective Internal Radiation Therapy or SIRT. This effective treatment provides new hope for patients by delivering precise, targeted radiation with fewer side effects and quicker recovery times.

This specialized procedure is designed for patients with liver tumors as the primary or major site of disease. Using millions of tiny radioactive beads called SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres, SIRT delivers high doses of radiation directly to the liver tumors via the hepatic artery, minimizing exposure to healthy liver tissue and maximizing effectiveness.

 

Symptoms

If you’re experiencing symptoms associated with liver tumors, it’s important to consult a specialist. Common symptoms may include:

  • Abdominal pain or discomfort
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Fatigue in the legs
  • Nausea or vomiting
