Yttrium-90 transarterial radioembolization as an ablative approach for oligoprogressive breast cancer: a case report

Le résumé fourni par la source

There is an increasing recognition for local strategies in managing metastatic breast cancer. This case report shows the potential role of ablative trans-arterial radioembolization in a patient with liver metastasis. A 66-year-old female patient with oligoprogressive breast cancer presented with progressive intra-hepatic disease. She underwent trans-arterial radioembolization with an ablative approach (200 Gy) for liver metastasis in segment VII and VIII. The patient had minimal side-effects and resumed chemotherapy one month post-treatment. A persisting complete response was achieved after 3 years of follow-up. This case report highlights the efficacy of ablative trans-arterial radioembolization in treating liver metastases from breast cancer.
