About this trial
This study is testing a new way of treating brain tumours using tiny radioactive beads called SIR-Spheres® (90Y-labelled Resin Microspheres). These microspheres are placed into the blood vessels that feed the tumour. The treatment gives off radiation inside the tumour to try to stop it from growing.
This type of treatment is called Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT), Transarterial Radioembolisation (TARE), or radioembolisation. It is already an accepted treatment for patients with liver cancer. In this study, we are testing if this treatment can be done safely in the brain and how well it works.
