Success: Transarterial Radioembolization (TARE, Y90) for Liver Cancer

Posted by fred2338 @fred2338, Mar 1 11:24am

3 months after this procedure my liver cancer was totally gone on CT scan - have others had this experience. I'm happy with it - no side effects and a great result.

@fred2338 Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. Is the TARE procedure also know as Y90?

@fred2338 There are a fair amount of folks on here that have had the Y90 procedure. Let's give them a little time to respond. Ok? I do recall others having a similar success story as yours. Congratulations!!!

@fred2338, I'm just catching up with your post today. Such great news to hear that transarterial radioembolization (TARE), also called Y-90 radioembolization, was a success for you.

For anyone considering this treatment, what is one thing you wish you had known?
