What Is TARE (Transarterial Radioembolization)?
TARE is a targeted liver cancer treatment that delivers tiny radioactive particles directly into the blood vessels feeding a liver tumor.
The treatment uses Yttrium-90 (Y90) microspheres. These microscopic particles release radiation inside the tumor while reducing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Unlike traditional surgery, TARE does not require large cuts or stitches. Doctors perform the procedure through a thin catheter inserted into a blood vessel.
TARE is commonly used for:
- Liver cancer
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
- Liver tumors that cannot be removed surgically
- Cancer that has spread to the liver
- Certain metastatic liver tumors
Who Needs TARE Treatment?
Doctors may recommend TARE for patients who:
- Have liver cancer that cannot be removed surgically
- Are not responding well to chemotherapy
- Need targeted tumor control.
- Have tumors limited mainly to the liver.
- Want a minimally invasive treatment option.
- Need treatment with a shorter recovery time.
TARE may help patients maintain quality of life while slowing tumor growth.
Symptoms of Liver Cancer
Many patients search for treatment only after symptoms begin affecting daily life.
Common symptoms include:
- Pain or heaviness in the upper abdomen
- Unexplained weight loss
- Loss of appetite
- Weakness and fatigue
- Swelling in the abdomen
- Nausea
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
If you experience persistent symptoms, early evaluation can improve treatment planning.
Causes & Risk Factors for Liver Cancer
Several conditions can increase the risk of liver cancer.
Common risk factors include:
- Chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C
- Liver cirrhosis
- Fatty liver disease
- Alcohol-related liver damage
- Diabetes and obesity
- Smoking
- Family history of liver disease
Early diagnosis and timely treatment can improve outcomes significantly.
Benefits of the TARE Procedure
Why do many patients prefer TARE treatment in Mohali?
Minimally Invasive
Doctors perform the procedure through a small puncture instead of open surgery.
Targeted Radiation Delivery
TARE attacks cancer cells directly while protecting healthy liver tissue.
Shorter Hospital Stay
Many patients recover faster compared to major surgery.
Suitable for Non-Surgical Cases
Patients who cannot undergo surgery may still qualify for TARE.
Better Quality of Life
Many patients experience symptom relief and improved comfort.
Precision-Based Treatment
Advanced imaging helps doctors target tumors accurately.
How TARE Works
The procedure works by blocking the blood supply feeding the tumor while delivering radiation directly into cancer cells.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Imaging & Planning
Doctors first study the liver using CT scans, MRI, and angiography.
Step 2: Catheter Placement
A thin tube called a catheter enters through the groin or wrist artery.
Step 3: Delivery of Y90 Microspheres
Tiny radioactive beads travel directly into the tumor’s blood supply.
Step 4: Radiation Targets the Tumor
The beads release focused radiation over time to destroy cancer cells.
The procedure usually causes less trauma compared to open surgery.
