Radio Embolization

Radio Embolization

Uses radiation to treat NETs that have developed in the liver. It is similar to hepatic chemoembolization but instead of chemotherapy it uses radiation to block the blood supply to NET cells in the liver. This process stops the tumor from releasing its hormones into the blood system. Also known as hepatic artery embolization (HAE).
