Treatment and Radioembolization


Radiation-induced segmentectomy for patients unfit for ablation or embolization

Radiation-induced hepatectomy associated with tumor treatment, for patients unfit for surgery because of comorbidities or insufficient remnant liver

Downstaging procedure for patients with intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma

Downstaging procedure for patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer (in combination with chemotherapy for treatment naïve or as salvage procedure for chemorefractory)
