Course Description

This one-and-a-half-day course - designed with lectures, panel discussions, and case based discussions - will offer the most in-depth, comprehensive and challenging curriculum available for interventional radiologists, covering all aspects of radioembolization. Topics to be discussed include challenging anatomy, therapy for specific primary and secondary hepatic malignancies- including radioembolization in combination with other therapies, retreatment, postprocedural care and f/u, and management of complications.

Educational Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the attendee should be able to:
1. Describe advanced radioembolization techniques
2. Identify therapies used in combination with radioembolization for hepatic malignancy
3. Explain advanced dosimetry and treatment concepts
4. Summarize a state-of-the-art literature review of Y-90 radioembolization literature

Target Audience

This course will provide advanced and focused education for past Y-90: Are yoU ready? attendees and other experienced practitioners who seek to refine their knowledge and skills in radioembolization. It will be most beneficial to previous AU Y-90 course attendees or physicians who are well-versed and comfortable with Y-90 procedures and participate in an active radioembolization program. The course will be advanced in nature and include high level discussion and active audience participation with experts, panelists and faculty. Come ready to participate with cases and to challenge the experts.

Internet access will be provided in the meeting room to access the Web site, so we encourage you to bring your laptop or tablet device. Remember to bring the power cord for your device. The Y-90 Meeting Hub will be available to attendees for one year after the meeting.

Challenge the Experts

This course will provide attendees with a unique opportunity to interact with experts in Y-90. Lead by expert facilitators, course content will include challenging anatomy, in-depth discussions on the most commonly encountered disease conditions (HCC, CRC, NET, breast, cholangio, melanoma). Other advanced topics will include radioembolization in combination with other therapies–retreatment, postprocedural care and follow up, and management of complications.
Since attendee participation is an integral component of this course, all attendees should prepare their own cases to challenge the experts! Show your own case that is actively in the stages of Y-90 workup! Each section will include dedicated attendee case presentation time in order to maximize the learning experience. Use this template to prepare your cases to bring to the meeting and view a sample case here.
