Difference between Radiation therapy and SIR-Spheres

Radiation therapy vs. SIR-Spheres

Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, often abbreviated RT, RTx, or XRT, is therapy using ionizing radiation, generally as part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator. SIR-Spheres microspheres are used to treat patients with unresectable liver cancer.

Similarities between Radiation therapy and SIR-Spheres

Radiation therapy and SIR-Spheres have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Catheter, Circulatory system, Colorectal cancer, Half-life, Neuroendocrine tumor, TheraSphere.

Catheter

In medicine, a catheter is a thin tube made from medical grade materials serving a broad range of functions.

Circulatory system

The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

TheraSphere

TheraSphere is a radiotherapy treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that consists of millions of microscopic, radioactive glass microspheres (20–30 micrometres in diameter) being infused into the arteries that feed liver tumors.
