Radioembolization for liver tumors from NETS

@lu7
Is there a limit to how many tumors can be treated with this treatment? I have over 50 tumors in my liver, but most are under 1cm. I just completed PRRT and I am hoping the small tumors shrink and/or die. I am feeling really good and optimistic about the outcome. I only have 5 tumors larger than 1cm, the largest is 5cm. I’m hoping that if the larger tumors continue to grow they can be treated by a targeted therapy. Any thoughts?

My husband's liver was 50% tumor when he had radioembolization and it was wildly successful.

@espelandmt2 That is a gteat question. I do knpw tjat each ablation leaves a hole where the tumor was, so size amd location matter. Its a good discussion to have with your provider. I had 6 rounds of PRRT. Then lanriotide. Then Captem. Now Everolimus. One ablation in there. The tumor had grown pretty large. Talk with your oncologist...i don't want to get out over my skiis. Best wishes!
