Selective internal radiation therapies for treating hepatocellular carcinoma – Final Appraisal Determination

In DRAFT guidance, NICE recommends selective internal radiation therapy SIR-Spheres for unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in adults, only if used for people with Child-Pugh grade A liver impairment when conventional transarterial therapies are inappropriate.

SPS commentary:

The selective internal radiation therapy QuiremSpheres is not recommended, for treating unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in adults.
