- Question
Clinicians should enter details about all patients having selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for unresectable primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma onto a suitable registry.
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) Current evidence on the safety of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for unresectable primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma shows that there are well-recognised, serious but rare safety concerns. Evidence on its efficacy is inadequate in quantity and quality. Therefore, this procedure should only be used in the context of research.
