Core Tip |
Same day yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization with resin-based microspheres is feasible, and provides an opportunity to mitigate infection risk and logistical challenges associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and beyond. We recommend consideration of single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography, especially among patients with complex malignancies, for the potential to improve outcomes and eligibility of patients to undergo same day Y-90 RE. |
