我父親86歲,今年3月發現原發肝癌,Segment 1 尾狀肝的瘤子6.5厘米,Segment 4有1.5cm的瘤子。無法手術。
4月底做了TACE(Transarterial Chemoembolization,經動脈化學栓塞),Segment 1的瘤子縮小為3.2cm 和 1.5cm, 但Segment 4的瘤子增大到3cm.
最近要做第二次介入。
1、請問是TACE還是Y90(經動脈載藥微球栓塞)?有醫生說用TACE, 有醫生說用Y90。
2、有醫生說TACE次數多了,血管會堵塞,影響以後的介入。因此做了兩次TACE後, 效果會變差。但好像聽說Y90不會堵塞血管。
3、做了TACE後,如果有必要,能否再做Y90?
謝謝大家的寶貴意見。

It is absolutely necessary to seek second opinion in the very beginning, especially physicians in cancer center.
If the number of tumors is more than one, and the maximum size of a tumor is larger than 5 cm, in general, it is better to use Y90 in the first intervention proecedure; of course, for detailed case, need to talk with interventional radiologists.
