Two Cases of 188Re Microspheres for Inoperable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

We report 2 inoperable cases of HCC treated with therapeutic dose of indigenously developed 188Re microspheres delivered to the hepatic lesions by transarterial catheterization. Follow-up CT revealed necrosis within the lesion, suggesting response to selective internal radionuclide therapy. 188Re microspheres may be a potential treatment option for inoperable HCC with or without portal vein thrombosis.
