SIRT

This is one for ladies with liver mets- SIRT

I finally remembered to ask the onc about SIRT. He had used it before and sent a patient off on long distance trip to use it. He said that there wasn’t a huge amount of data for breast cancer available for SIRT as it has mainly been used for colon cancer (i think thats the one!) patients. Also he said that it tended to be used only where standard chemos had failed, and in combination with a newer chemo as it got better results that way. have to admit I was a bit disappointed by that as I was hoping there might be a treatment that did not involve chemo.

take care everyone
