Liver Radioembolization: a New Chapter in Russian Oncology
Recent years have seen an increase in the number of patients with malignant tumours of the liver. In this context, new treatment methods are being actively introduced into practice, one of which is liver radioembolization utilizing microspheres embedded with yttrium-90 (90Y).Aim.

| description | Recent years have seen an increase in the number of patients with malignant tumours of the liver. In this context, new treatment methods are being actively introduced into practice, one of which is liver radioembolization utilizing microspheres embedded with yttrium-90 (90Y).Aim. To review literature data on the history of radioembolization and its application for liver tumours.Key findings. Annually, over 200 thousand patients with inoperable primary liver cancer and over 270 thousand patients with inoperable metastatic liver cancer are registered globally, for whom radioembolization is considered as the most suitable treatment method. 90Y is a pure beta emitter without its own gamma line, which is characterized by a small average particle path in the tissue of 2.5 mm (the maximum level is 11 mm), a maximum beta particle energy of 2.27 MeV (average energy of 0.937 MeV) and a half-life of 64.1 hours. Clinical research into microspheres containing 90Y has been actively conducted since 1977 all over the world. However, it was only in 2004 that the US FDA authorized the clinical use of glass microspheres containing 90Y for the treatment of hepatocellular cancer and liver colorectal cancer metastases. Until recently, radioembolization has not been applied in Russia. In 2018, the joint efforts of the A. Tsyb Medical Radiological Research Centre (MRRC) — branch of the National Medical Research Radiological Centre and BEBIG LLC resulted in the production of Russian microspheres containing yttrium-90, which were subsequently introduced into routine clinical practice. The first liver embolization in Russia using microspheres containing domestic yttrium-90 (BEBIG LLC) to a patient with hepatocellular cancer was carried out by V.V. Kucherov and A.P. Petrosyan at the A. Tsyb RMMC on April, 25 in 2019.Conclusion. The production of microspheres containing 90Y in Russia, as well as a technical improvement of the procedure, will facilitate the introduction of liver radioembolization into the routine management of patients with malignant liver tumours. |
