SIRT treats liver cancer internally through the injection of millions of SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres – microscopic resin beads manufactured by Sirtex Medical Limited and labelled with radioactive Yttrium-90 (Y-90) – directly into liver tumors via the hepatic vasculature. These microspheres then become lodged in the tumor's blood vessels, enabling high doses of radiation to be targeted directly to liver tumors while sparing healthy parenchyma.
