FAQ
For whom is SIRT a suitable treatment option?
SIRT is a treatment for liver tumors that exclusively or primarily affect the liver. It does not affect tumors located outside the liver. Several other factors must be considered before offering SIRT as a treatment option. The most crucial factor is determining if the patient has a healthy liver that works satisfactorily, which can be done by performing a simple blood test.
Do I need to stop my chemotherapy if I undergo SIRT treatment?
In most cases, chemotherapy is stopped two weeks before and after SIRT treatment, but your oncologist will determine if it is necessary to pause chemotherapy during this period.
What are the side effects of SIR-Spheres microspheres?
Many patients may experience abdominal pain and/or nausea as a side effect of their treatment, but this usually goes away quickly or with the help of routine medications. Some patients may also have a mild fever lasting up to a week and fatigue lasting several weeks. To prevent or minimize these side effects, you may be given additional medicines such as painkillers, anti-inflammatories, anti-nausea, or anti-ulcer drugs during your treatment as a precautionary measure.
