Merge with Brachytherapy
[edit]- Disagree - it doesn't fit there and would be swamped. Keep separate. Rod57 (talk) 11:30, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Renaming article | Assisted by Citation bot
[edit]I propose renaming this article to either radioembolization or transarterial radioembolization(TARE) and providing a redirect for the Selective internal radiation therapy link. Both of these two terms are used much more commonly than "SIRT",[1][2][3][4][5][6] which itself is a rather vague (how is this vs brachytherapy?) Dr G (talk) 20:21, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

How it is even possible considering time constraints?
[edit]Considering the extremely short half-life of Y90/ H166 isotopes how can the process work in practice? E.g. with the 3 mentioned manufacturers based in Australia, Canada and Japan respectively and the lack of faster-than-sound transportation since the demise of Concorde (plus time spent on packaging, export-import bureaucracy, preparations for use at the destination hospital, etc.) how can say european patients receive the injection before much of the activity decays to base elements? The current article tells none about that aspect. 94.21.160.64 (talk) 20:55, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
