Correlation of radiation dose and activity with clinical outcomes in metastatic colorectal cancer after selective internal radiation therapy using yttrium-90 resin microspheres

Conclusion The prescribed activity of 90Y-resin microspheres may be correlated with radiographic response by RECIST criteria at 4–6 months post-treatment. For a more accurate prediction of response, a valid dose calculation model based on post-90Y PET dosimetry is likely needed given the heterogeneous dose delivery seen in SIRT.
