Hello @jiangmx24,

I appreciate your update regarding the consultation for Histotripsy. It sounds like you received a new treatment option.

Your question about the best hospital for this procedure is an important one to consider. Generally, speaking multi-disciplinary medical systems like Mayo Clinic or a university medical school are good options. These types of health care institutions are generally research-oriented and have good techniques for special procedures. If you would like an appointment at Mayo Clinic here is a link with appointment information, http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

Here are some discussions on Mayo Clinic about the Y-90 treatment for tumors in the liver.

I would be interested in learning how you proceed with this decision. Will you continue to post as you make a decision?

Hi Teresa,
Thanks for the information. Right now, Loyola University medical center at Chicago (Maywood) is working on arranging the procedure. I would prefer to having the Y90 procedure done in Mayo Clinic, but just don’t know how long it will take to get it scheduled and get it done. My hepatologist wants me to get it as early as possible, but I don’t really know how urgent it is.
