About
Patients cohort is composed of 50 consecutive patients both male and female with hepatic malignancies, refered to our nuclear medicine department in the process of radioembolization between January 2010- August 2015. 26 of the patients were examined with Tc99-MAA and SPECT-CT and 24 patients were examined with Tc99-MAA , SPECT-CT and PET-CT. Our study protocol was as follows:
Full description
The description of the various stages that the patient goes through SIRTex treatment in the department of nuclear medicine and their roll in the study is as following:
The first stage is dedicated to the evaluation of the patient's illegibility for the treatment.
The second stage is dedicated to the assessment Y-90-SIRTex uptake in liver tumors and to exclude extra hepatic leak. Several hours after treatment patients perform SPECT-CT using Brummshtrullung emission or PET-CT with the peak Zr-90.
At this stage , in our study, we will compare liver lesions uptake of Tc-99m-MAA in the SPECT-CT to lesions uptake of Y-90 -SIRT SPECT/PET-CT as well as to assess if SPECT-CT withTc-99m-MAA may be used as a predictor of Y-90-SIRTex uptake in liver lesion. Does SPECT-CT with Tc-99m-MAA change patient managment.
The third stage of the study is the collection and monitoring of post treatment outcome data.
