Advanced Y90 Radioembolization Treatment for Liver Tumors in India
Treat Liver Cancer Early with Minimally Invasive Y90 Therapy
Y90 radioembolization, also known as Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT), is an advanced and minimally invasive treatment used to target liver tumors with precision. Unlike traditional surgery, this procedure delivers radiation directly to cancer cells through the blood vessels, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy liver tissue.
By using tiny radioactive beads injected through a catheter, Y90 therapy blocks the tumor’s blood supply while delivering high-dose radiation exactly where it is needed. This results in effective tumor control, faster recovery, and improved quality of life for patients.
Impact of Untreated Liver Tumors on Daily Life
💔 Career and Productivity Impact
Chronic symptoms can lead to missed workdays, reduced productivity, and limited ability to perform daily tasks.
💔 Relationship and Social Life
Liver cancer symptoms may affect emotional well-being, reducing social interaction and personal relationships.
Mental Health Challenges
Patients may experience anxiety, depression, and emotional stress due to ongoing health issues.
Financial Burden of Treatment
Medical expenses, ongoing care, and loss of income can create significant financial stress over time.
Advanced Y90 Radioembolization Treatment for Liver Tumours in India
Treat Liver Cancer Early with Minimally Invasive Y90 Therapy
People with chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, cirrhosis, or long-term liver damage are at higher risk of liver cancer. Patients with primary or metastatic liver tumours are often evaluated for advanced treatments like Y90 radioembolization (Selective Internal Radiation Therapy – SIRT).
Lifestyle factors like heavy alcohol use, obesity, fatty liver disease (NAFLD), diabetes, and smoking also increase risk. Those with inoperable liver cancer may benefit from minimally invasive Y90 therapy for targeted tumour control and better outcomes.

How Y90 Radioembolization Works for Liver Cancer Treatment
A minimally invasive, targeted therapy that treats liver tumors at the source
Catheter-Based Targeting of Liver Tumours
A thin, flexible catheter is carefully inserted through the groin and guided into the hepatic artery using advanced imaging techniques. This allows doctors to precisely reach the blood vessels supplying the liver tumor.
Injection of Y90 Radioactive Microspheres
Tiny Y90 radioactive beads (microspheres) are injected through the catheter directly into the tumor’s blood supply. These particles lodge in the tumor’s vessels, delivering targeted radiation while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy liver tissue.
Blocking Blood Supply and Delivering Radiation
A thin, flexible catheter is carefully inserted through the groin and guided into the hepatic artery using advanced imaging techniques. This allows doctors to precisely reach the blood vessels supplying the liver tumor.
Tumour Shrinkage Over Time
As the tumor shrinks, symptoms improve progressively. Most patients experience meaningful relief from pain and other related symptoms within weeks to months following treatment, with continued improvement over time.
Symptom Relief and Improved Quality of Life
As the tumor shrinks, symptoms such as pain, nausea, and fatigue improve. Patients often experience better overall health and quality of life following Y90 radioembolization.

Blocking Blood Supply and Delivering Radiation
Once inside the tumor, the microspheres block the blood flow and release controlled radiation. This dual action helps destroy cancer cells effectively and prevents further tumor growth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Y90 Radioembolization
What exactly is Y90 Radioembolization?
Y90 radioembolization is a minimally invasive liver cancer treatment that uses tiny radioactive beads to deliver targeted radiation directly to liver tumors. This procedure helps destroy cancer cells while preserving healthy liver tissue, making it an effective alternative to traditional surgery in many cases.
Is Y90 radioembolization a type of surgery?
No, Y90 radioembolization is not a traditional surgery. It is a catheter-based procedure performed through a small incision, usually in the groin. This makes it a minimally invasive treatment with less pain, lower risk, and faster recovery compared to open liver surgery.
How is Y90 different from standard radiation therapy?
Unlike external beam radiation therapy, Y90 radioembolization delivers radiation internally and directly to the tumor. This targeted approach allows higher radiation doses to the cancer while reducing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
Will I be radioactive after Y90 treatment?
No, patients are not considered dangerous or “radioactive” to others after Y90 radioembolization.
Y90 (Yttrium-90) works by delivering radiation directly inside the tumor through tiny microspheres placed in the liver’s blood vessels. This means:
- The radiation is highly localized (targets only the tumor area)
- It has a very short penetration range in the body
- Most of the radiation effect stays within the liver
What are the common side effects of Y90 radioembolization?
Most patients experience “Post-Y90-Radioembolization Syndrome,” which can include:
Fatigue (the most common symptom).
Mild nausea or low-grade fever.
A dull ache in the upper right abdomen.
Is Y90 radioembolization covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for Y90 radioembolization treatment for liver cancer varies by plan and provider. It is often covered if the treatment is medically necessary and approved by your doctor.
However, coverage depends on your policy, hospital network, and pre-authorization requirements. Check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
I am diabetic — how does Y90 radioembolization help me?
For patients with liver cancer, Y90 radioembolization treatment delivers radiation directly to tumours, helping to:
Shrink or control tumour growth
Preserve healthy liver tissue
Improve eligibility for further treatments or surgery
Always inform your doctor about your diabetes, so they can plan treatment safely and coordinate blood sugar management.
