Defining the Ablative Dose for Y-90 TARE
Sponsor: Northwestern University
Summary
This study is being done to help doctors improve how they treat liver tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or treated with standard ablation techniques. The researchers want to find out the best amount of radiation that needs to be delivered to completely destroy (or ablate) parts of the liver that have cancer.
Official title: A Prospective Dose-Escalation Study to Define an Ablative Dose of Yttrium-90 Transarterial Radioembolization Using Advanced Dosimetry and Functional MRI (MARGIN Study)

Yttrium-90 Radiation Segmentectomy (Y90 RS) using glass microspheres
The objective of this study is to define an optimal "ablative dose" range for Y90 Radiation Segmentectomy that achieves complete sectoral ablation detectable on dual contrast MRI and to determine whether this dose-response relationship differs between cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients.
