Its use is widely recognized in the intermediate and advanced HCC, but it has become more prevalent in recent years in different Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stages. The aim of this review is to summarize the role of SIRT and its clinical implications through different stages of HCC.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A literature review of papers on this topic was performed using PubMed MEDLINE, focusing exclusively on the role of yttrium-90 SIRT across all BCLC stages and comparing it with other treatments. Only English-language papers currently available until September 2023 were considered.</p><p><strong>Key content and findings: </strong>Many studies have shown that SIRT is a promising tool with multiple uses, such as tumour control in the context of bridge-to-liver transplantation or resection, tumour downstaging, and curative therapy in selected patients. Therefore, according to the recent update of BCLC staging system criteria, SIRT now emerges as a potential curative treatment for early-stage HCC patients, serving as an alternative when ablation or resection is not feasible. It is also a promising treatment compared to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) as well as in combination with immunotherapies.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>SIRT is a safe and effective treatment for selected patients at all BCLC stages of HCC. Therefore, due to its numerous advantages, SIRT may prove useful in many complex HCC treatment situations in the near future.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); radioembolization; yttrium-90 (<sup>90</sup>Y); selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT); transarterial radioembolization (TARE).</p>","PeriodicalId":12878,"journal":{"name":"Hepatobiliary surgery and nutrition","volume":"13 6","pages":"974-990"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11634413/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142817956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optimized pain management can potentially elevate patients' postoperative quality of life. This study focused on comparing the analgesic efficacy and subsequent functional recovery of three techniques, continuous local wound infiltration (LWI), four-quadrant transversus abdominis plane (4QTAP) block, and needle electrical twitch obtaining intramuscular stimulation (NETOIMS), in patients subjected to open PD.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled study. Among a total of 80 eligible patients, 72 were randomized into the LWI, 4QTAP block, or NETOIMS groups for postoperative pain management. The primary outcome measured was the pain score, which was recorded on postoperative days (PODs) 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, and 28. Additionally, consumption of morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) and ibuprofen until POD 3 was analyzed. Functional recovery indicators, such as gait speed and peak cough flow (PCF), were assessed on the day before surgery (baseline), and on PODs 2, 7, 14, and 28.

The pain scores in the 4QTAP block and NETOIMS groups were comparable across all recorded time points.
