N2 - During the past two decades, selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT, i.e., radioembolization) is being increasingly applied in patients suffering from unresectable hepatic metastases of neuroendocrine tumors (NET). Essentially, SIRT consists of administering microscopic spheres into the arterial vasculature of the liver. The treatment is increasingly used in patients liver-dominant disease, and can result in prolongation of survival while retaining quality of life. Current research mainly focusses on improved patient selection and optimization of dosimetry, thereby reducing healthy liver tissue damage and increasing tumor response.
