Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Radioembolisation of liver tumours demands many choices from the physician regarding planning of treatment and subsequent follow-up.

METHODS: An online questionnaire was distributed amongst all members of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) to investigate the current state of radioembolisation practice.

RESULTS: The survey was completed by 60 centres. The increasing number of radioembolisation procedures may reflect that radioembolisation is increasingly recognised as a valuable treatment option in European cancer guidelines. Imaging modalities play an important role in decision making. Furthermore, there seems to be a trend towards less coil-embolisation of non-target vessels. In addition, type of microsphere, model for dose calculation, complications and future developments are evaluated in this article.

CONCLUSIONS: This survey provides insight into the current state of radioembolisation practice across Europe.
