Summary

This study tested a treatment called TheraSphere for people with neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to the liver and cannot be removed by surgery. TheraSphere uses tiny radioactive beads delivered directly to the liver to kill cancer cells. The trial included 24 adults who had already tried at least one other treatment, and it looked at safety, tumor shrinkage, and quality of life.
