SIRT therapy for non-resectable colorectal metastases in the liver- British Liver Trust request for help with survey.

Have you had selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for non-resectable colorectal metastases in the liver?

Colorectal liver metastasis is cancer of the bowel that has spread to the liver. Selective internal radiation therapy (known as SIRT) involves injecting tiny radioactive ‘beads’ into blood vessels that supply blood to the liver, where they become trapped. The beads then release radiation directly into the cancer cells. The aim is to kill the cancer cells while causing as little damage to surrounding healthy tissue as possible.

The interventional procedure committee at NICE make recommendations on the safety and efficacy of procedures. The committee met last week and discussed the fact that very little is known about quality of life after people have received this treatment. If you have undergone this treatment they would really like to hear your experience.
