Therasphere will be administered via catheter through the Hepatic Artery to treat patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Portal vein Thrombosis.
Therasphere consists of glass microspheres containing a radioactive material called Yttrium-90. Therasphere is delivered into the liver tumor through a catheter placed into the hepatic artery which is the artery that provides the main blood supply to the tumor, this way delivering the radioactive material directly to the tumor and sparing the rest of the liver tissue from radiation.
