Cancer causes more than 500,000 deaths each year in the
United States. However, thanks to the ongoing advances in
cancer detection and treatment, four out every ten people
who are found to have cancer this year will be cured. At Regional
Vascular Associates, we are trained and equipped to meet the
advancing needs of the oncologic patient. For example, we
offer targeted radioembolization with SIR-Spheres®, which
is FDA-approved, for patients with colorectal cancer that
has spread to the liver. With SIR-Spheres, small biocompatible
radioactive spheres are injected into the liver tumor through
the hepatic artery. The spheres then concentrate in the tumor,
where the radiation kills the cancer cells.
