Abstract

Simple Summary: This article is an overview of the technique, indications, and outcomes of transarterial yttrium-90 radiation segmentectomy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is intended to provide a pragmatic summary for any member of a hepatobiliary malignancy multidisciplinary team. Radiation segmentectomy is a versatile, safe, and effective ablative therapy for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma. Advances in radiation segmentectomy patient selection, procedural technique, and dosimetry have positioned this modality as a curative-intent and guideline-supported treatment for patients with solitary HCC. This review describes key radiation segmentectomy concepts and summarizes the existing literary knowledgebase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
