Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer. Transarterial radioembolization (TARE), in which beta-emitting yttrium 90-loaded microspheres are injected intra-arterially into the tumor feeding artery, has been a well-established treatment option for HCC. TARE can be used as a palliative or curative treatment option depending on the stage and pattern of HCC and the dose used.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original research and review articles focused on different aspects of TARE when used in the treatment of HCC. These topics can include dosimetry for TARE, advanced imaging techniques used for dose calculation, the combination of TARE with other locoregional or systemic treatments, genetic factors influencing responses after TARE, immunological aspects of TARE, adjuvant treatments that improve the efficacy of TARE, surgical resection after TARE, and portal vein embolization using TARE, to name a select few.
