We are thrilled to have spearheaded this research at Northwestern over the last 10 years, ultimately leading to the FDA approval of an Y90 radio embolization for liver cancer. This is the first device to receive full regulatory approval, generating a roadmap for other therapies to follow. The outpatient treatment prolongs patients’ lives while maintaining quality of life. - - Riad Salem, MD, MBA
