Y-90 Therapy
Our team of interventional radiology specialists offers Y-90 therapy, also known as selective internal radiation therapy or SIRT, to help treat liver cancer by targeting malignant lesions on the liver. This minimally invasive procedure typically takes two hours. We ask patients to stay overnight for observation after undergoing Y-90 therapy.

Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)
We offer transarterial chemoembolization, TACE for short, as a minimally invasive, image-guided treatment for liver cancer tumors. It optimizes the ability to shrink or eradicate tumors by targeting them precisely and blocking their blood flow.
