Abstract No. 1 ▪ ABSTRACT OF THE YEAR Y90 radioembolization to the prostate gland: proof of concept in a canine model and clinical translation

The current standard for intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer (T2-T3) is radiotherapy. Existing approaches have high recurrence rates due to dose limitations, with significant toxicities to the bladder and rectum. In preparation for translation to human application, we investigated the feasibility and safety of prostate artery radioembolization (RE) in a canine model dose escalation study.
