Guy Van Hazel, MD, Medical Oncologist, Mount Hospital and School of Medicine University of Western Australia, speaks about finding a potential survival advantage for extrahepatic colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases patients that undergo selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT).
Survival data is not yet available. However, for patients that underwent SIRT, time to progression of liver metastases was 7.9 or 8 months; which Van Hazel says is significant and could be indicative of a possible survival benefit in further studies.
