Özet
Neuroendocrine tumors, are a heterogeneous group of tumors with 40-90% liver metastases at the time of diagnosis, and this is one of the most important criteria for determining survival. Among the locoregional treatments, radioembolization has taken its place in current guidelines in neuroendocrine tumors that cannot be resected by surgical methods and progressed under treatment with somatostatin analogues. This review aimed to summarize the recent studies with also the place and importance of radioembolization in the treatment protocol.
