Abstract
This report describes experiences in the administration of radiating microspheres for the treatment of bilateral metastases of cancer in the lung. The concept whereby a source of irradiation is delivered by means of the blood supply to the cancers is intriguing. The intra venous administration of radiating microspheres permits the deliverance of therapeutic doses of irradiation to metastatic cancer in the lungs via branches of the pulmonary artery.
