This month’s journal-based CME article is titled "Long-term Toxicity after Transarterial Radioembolization with Yttrium-90 using Resin Microspheres for Neuroendocrine Tumor Liver Matastases. This clinical study evaluates long-term effects of yttrium-90 (Y-90) transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for unresectable hepatic metastases of neuroendocrine tumors (NET).
This program is designed to meet the educational needs of interventional radiologists, oncologists, oncologic surgeons, nurses, techs, and trainees at all levels with special interests in NET.
To receive CME credit for this journal-based CME activity, participants must read the journal article and score 75% or better on the post test. Participants will have three opportunities to score 75% or better.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this journal-based CME activity, learners should be able to
State prognostic factors that affect survival in patients with NET.
List survival rates after TARE in patients with and without extrahepatic disease.
Describe the long-term impact of TARE on hepatic function and associated liver function tests.
