title: Yttrium-90 radioembolization in the management of liver malignancies.
abstract: Primary and secondary liver tumors are common. Locoregional therapies are establishing a role in the management of liver tumors due to the limited roles of surgical and systemic therapies. Our review presents some general concepts associated with yttrium-90 radioembolization and its specific utilization in various primary and secondary liver malignancies.
