Selective internal radiation therapy has been developed since the 80’ with various vectors (lipiodol, micro beads) and radionuclides (131I, 90Y, 88Re). This therapeutic option is now ready for daily practice in several primary liver tumors as well as in liver metastases. Its definitive position in the future therapeutic guidelines will depend on the results of the ongoing phase 2 and 3 clinical trials. Here, we review the available data concerning selective internal radiation therapy and mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma on one hand and colorectal cancer liver metastases on the other hand.
