Assessment of Radioembolization Treatment Response: Standardization, Tips & Tricks
Journal Title: Nükleer Tıp Seminerleri - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Different guidelines are used to assess the response to contemporary radioembolization treatment. Nonetheless, striking heterogeneity of patients and especially tumors larger than 5 cm or infiltrative in nature may pose tremendous problems. Moreover, radiation effects on imaging in early stages complicate confirmation of local recurrences/residual tumor. Therefore, multidisciplinary approach that will take into account the patient’s pre-/post-treatment radiological and laboratory data is indispensable. In this review, our personal experience on evaluation of radioembolization treatment response is discussed in the light of data based on literature.
