TheraSphere

TheraSphere is a type of cancer treatment that uses tiny radioactive glass beads to target liver tumors. During the procedure, doctors inject these beads into the blood vessels supplying the tumor, where they emit radiation to destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This targeted approach can be particularly useful for patients with liver cancer who may not be eligible for surgery. TheraSphere is a form of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) and can help shrink tumors, improve symptoms, and potentially increase survival rates.
