The use of yttrium-90 microspheres is a novel interventional radiological procedure that has delivered promising results in the treatment of liver cancer. Multiple treatments in combination with systemic chemotherapy may be realised as an effective modality for unresectable colorectal liver metastases. This case study reports the first case of a patient who had a complete response of 7 out of 10 liver metastases following multiple doses of yttrium-90 microsphere therapy, who then underwent a curative hepatic resection. This case demonstrates the feasibility and potential use of this management strategy to expand the role of successful therapies that will bridge the road towards curative liver resection.
钇 90 微球的使用是一种新型的介入放射学程序，在治疗肝癌方面取得了有希望的结果。多次治疗结合全身化疗可能成为不可切除的结直肠癌肝转移的有效治疗方法。本病例报告首例患者在多次接受钇 90 微球治疗后，10 个肝转移灶中有 7 个完全缓解，随后进行了治愈性肝切除术。该病例证明了这种管理策略的可行性和潜在用途，可以扩大成功治疗方法的作用，为治愈性肝切除术铺平道路。
