Question: What are potential complications from radioembolization?
Answer: Radioembolization has a low rate of serious side effects. However, a small percentage of people have serious problems after radioembolization. Potential complications of radioembolization include: Severe ulcers in the stomach or small intestine Liver or gallbladder failure Dangerously low white blood cell count Radiation damage to the lungs Tests performed before radioembolization can reduce some of the risks of complications from the procedure.
Question: What kind of cancer can radioembolization be used for other than metastatic colorectal cancer in the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma?
Answer: Radioembolization has also been used for other forms of cancer affecting the liver, such as: Cholangiocarcinoma Breast cancer or lung cancer with liver metastasis Neuroendocrine tumors, such as carcinoid tumors, that have spread to the liver A type of sarcoma called gastrointestinal stromal tumor ( GIST) Radioembolization is often used in coordination with more well-established cancer treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy: Radioembolization may be used on liver tumors too large for surgery to shrink them to allow surgical removal.
Question: Does radioembolization cause radiation damage?
Answer: In most cases, the surrounding healthy liver suffers minimal radiation damage after radioembolization. The radiation in the particles gradually disappears over a month. The leftover particles can safely stay put forever.
Question: What are the side effects of radioembolization?
Answer: Many people experience symptoms of fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, fever, and loss of appetite after radioembolization. These effects are usually mild or moderate, and most people leave the hospital within a day or two after the procedure.
Question: What are the effects of radioembolization?
Answer: In several small studies, radioembolization delayed progression of colorectal cancer after its spread to the liver. Radioembolization also has been shown to shrink hepatocellular carcinomas. So far there is a small amount of evidence that people who get radioembolization and chemotherapy for cancer in the liver live longer than people receiving chemotherapy only. Larger clinical trials are underway that should help answer questions about radioembolization's benefits. Many people experience symptoms of fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, fever, and loss of appetite after radioembolization.
Question: What is often used in coordination with radioembolization?
Answer: Radioembolization has also been used for other forms of cancer affecting the liver, such as: Cholangiocarcinoma Breast cancer or lung cancer with liver metastasis Neuroendocrine tumors, such as carcinoid tumors, that have spread to the liver A type of sarcoma called gastrointestinal stromal tumor ( GIST) Radioembolization is often used in coordination with more well-established cancer treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy: Radioembolization may be used on liver tumors too large for surgery to shrink them to allow surgical removal. Chemotherapy and radioembolization may be provided in combination to maximize the destruction of cancer cells.
Question: Is radioembolization combined with other cancer treatments?
Answer: Radioembolization has also been used for other forms of cancer affecting the liver, such as: Cholangiocarcinoma Breast cancer or lung cancer with liver metastasis Neuroendocrine tumors, such as carcinoid tumors, that have spread to the liver A type of sarcoma called gastrointestinal stromal tumor ( GIST) Radioembolization is often used in coordination with more well-established cancer treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy: Radioembolization may be used on liver tumors too large for surgery to shrink them to allow surgical removal. Chemotherapy and radioembolization may be provided in combination to maximize the destruction of cancer cells.
Question: What kind of cancer is radioembolization most used for?
Answer: Radioembolization is used primarily to treat cancer in the liver. The disease may take one of two forms: Cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the liver from a primary tumor elsewhere (such as colon or breast cancer) Cancer that first arises in the liver (such as hepatocellular carcinoma) Metastatic colorectal cancer in the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma are the cancers most often considered for radioembolization treatment.
Question: Has radioembolization been effective in studies?
Answer: In several small studies, radioembolization delayed progression of colorectal cancer after its spread to the liver. Radioembolization also has been shown to shrink hepatocellular carcinomas. So far there is a small amount of evidence that people who get radioembolization and chemotherapy for cancer in the liver live longer than people receiving chemotherapy only.
Question: Does radioembolization have any serious complications or side effects?
Answer: Radioembolization has a low rate of serious side effects. However, a small percentage of people have serious problems after radioembolization. Potential complications of radioembolization include: Severe ulcers in the stomach or small intestine Liver or gallbladder failure Dangerously low white blood cell count Radiation damage to the lungs Tests performed before radioembolization can reduce some of the risks of complications from the procedure.
Question: How are tests done before radioembolization?
Answer: These include routine blood tests and an evaluation of blood flow, including an initial angiogram. The first angiogram serves as a test run, allowing a doctor to make sure the arteries of the abdomen and liver are suitable for radioembolization. Potential complications of radioembolization include: Severe ulcers in the stomach or small intestine Liver or gallbladder failure Dangerously low white blood cell count Radiation damage to the lungs Tests performed before radioembolization can reduce some of the risks of complications from the procedure.

Question: What is radioembolization?
Answer: Radioembolization is most often used on cancers in the liver. Radioembolization is sometimes used for patients who may not be able to undergo other treatments. Experts are still determining its ideal uses. The particles stay in the tumor, blocking blood flow to cancer cells, killing them, and shrinking the tumor.
Question: What is vertical banded gastroplasty?
Answer: Vertical banded gastroplasty ( VBG) also involves a plastic band placed around the stomach. In addition, the surgeon staples the stomach above the band into a small pouch.
Question: What are the different types of restrictive surgery for weight loss?
Answer: In a restrictive surgery, a surgeon uses one of a variety of techniques to reduce the size of the stomach. After restrictive surgery, you'll feel full faster, eat less, and lose weight. The full names for the three types of restrictive surgery for weight loss are: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding Vertical banded gastroplasty Sleeve gastrectomy The surgeon uses laparoscopy (which involves small cuts in the belly) to place an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach.
Question: What is sleeve gastrectomy?
Answer: In a sleeve gastrectomy, more than half of your stomach is removed, leaving behind a thin vertical sleeve about the size of a banana. Because part of your stomach is removed, this surgery is not reversible.
Question: What is gastric banding surgery?
Answer: The full names for the three types of restrictive surgery for weight loss are: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding Vertical banded gastroplasty Sleeve gastrectomy The surgeon uses laparoscopy (which involves small cuts in the belly) to place an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. Squeezed by the silicone band, the stomach becomes a pouch with about an inch-wide outlet.
Question: What is recovery like after breast implantation?
Answer: Your breasts will be covered with gauze after the surgery. You may have drainage tubes, which will be removed in a few days. You may need to wear a surgical bra as you heal. You'll need to take it easy for a few days after your breast augmentation surgery. For instance, you shouldn't do any heavy lifting for up to six weeks after getting your implants. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen may help relieve discomfort. Your doctor may also prescribe pain medication for you. You will probably have some swelling in the area where the surgery was done. Over time, the swelling should ease and the scars will fade.
Question: How should you pick your surgeon for breast implants?
Answer: You may be less likely to have complications later on if you choose a surgeon who has had at least five years of surgical training and at least two years' experience in plastic surgery.
Question: When can you get breast implants?
Answer: You may be less likely to have complications later on if you choose a surgeon who has had at least five years of surgical training and at least two years' experience in plastic surgery.
Question: How can you maintain breast implants?
Answer: Breast implants are not designed to last a lifetime. You may need to have the implants replaced if you have complications or if the size and shape of your breasts change over time. Women who have silicone gel-filled implants will need to get an MRI scan three years after the implant surgery and then MRI scans about every two years to check for silent rupture. If your implants rupture, you will need to have them removed or replaced.
Question: How long does a breast implant take?
Answer: You may have drainage tubes, which will be removed in a few days.
Question: What happens before a breast implant?
Answer: Your surgeon may ask you to stop taking certain medications a few days or weeks before your surgery. You can get breast augmentation done as an outpatient procedure, or you may stay overnight in the hospital.
Question: What are the different types of breast implants?
Answer: Saline-filled implants are silicone shells filled with sterile salt water (saline). Some are pre-filled and others are filled during the implant operation. Silicone gel-filled implants are silicone shells filled with a plastic gel (silicone). Although many women say that silicone gel implants feel more like real breasts than saline, they pose more of a risk if they leak. Both saline and silicone come in different sizes and have either smooth or textured shells. Each has its own pros and cons, so it is a matter of preference.
Question: How is a breast implant procedure done?
Answer: The surgeon will make a cut under your breasts, under your arms, or around your nipples, depending on your body, the type of implant, and how much enlargement is being done. The surgeon will put the breast implant into a pocket above or below your chest muscle. After the implant is in place, the surgeon will close the cuts with sutures or surgical tape.
Question: Why do people get breast implants?
Answer: That can be done for reconstructive purposes, such as after mastectomy for breast cancer, or for cosmetic reasons. Having breast implants can make it more difficult to get a mammogram, but special X-ray views can be done.
Question: How can high blood pressure cause right-side heart failure?
Answer: It measures how hard your heart pumps blood through your arteries. The higher your blood pressure, the harder your heart is working to pump it. That means over time, your heart muscles can thicken and weaken because of the extra work they do.
Question: How can coronary artery disease cause right-side heart failure?
Answer: This is the most common form of heart disease and cause of heart failure. When you have coronary artery disease, plaque blocks your arteries, causing blood flow to your heart muscle to slow or even stop.
Question: What causes right-side heart failure?
Answer: Sometimes it just happens. But usually it's left-side heart failure that causes right-side heart failure. As the left chamber of your heart loses some of its ability to pump, blood continues to back up -- sometimes into your lungs. Heart failure is a long-term condition that gets worse over time. In most cases, you get it because you have other health issues that have damaged or weakened your heart.
Question: How is right-side heart failure treated?
Answer: There is no cure for heart failure, but there are treatments for its symptoms. Talk to your doctor. She may suggest medications to make you more comfortable. In some cases, a procedure or surgery may be necessary. Your doctor will also suggest you do some things differently to reduce the stress on your heart. These might include: Lose weight, or stay at a weight that feels best. Quit smoking. Exercise. Eat a diet high in lean protein, low-fat dairy, whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Cut back on of sodium, saturated fats (found in meats and full-fat dairy products), added sugars, and carbs. Get enough rest.
Question: How can an arrhythmia cause right-side heart failure?
Answer: This is when your heart has an irregular heartbeat. It may beat too fast, too slow, or just not the way it should. Most of the time, arrhythmia is harmless. But it can also make your heart pump an insufficient amount of blood through the body. If it's not treated, it could weaken your heart over time.
Question: How do you know if you have right-side heart failure?
Answer: When your heart is working normally, it pumps oxygen-rich blood through your lungs and to the rest of your body. The left ventricle, or left chamber, of the heart provides most of the heart's pumping power. So when you have left-side heart failure, your heart can't pump enough blood to your body. The right ventricle, or right chamber, moves âusedâ blood from your heart back to your lungs to be resupplied with oxygen. So when you have right-side heart failure, the right chamber has lost its ability to pump. That means your heart can't fill with enough blood, and the blood backs up into the veins. If this happens, your legs, ankles, and belly often swell.
Question: What other long-term health conditions can cause right-side heart failure?
Answer: Diabetes, HIV, and thyroid problems are examples of health issues that do not go away and eventually could play a part in heart failure.
Question: How can damaged heart valves cause right-side heart failure?
Answer: The higher your blood pressure, the harder your heart is working to pump it. Damaged heart valves. Eventually, it will become weakened.
Question: How can lung disease cause right-side heart failure?
Answer: This is the most common form of heart disease and cause of heart failure. Your doctor may call this âcor pulmonale.â Other long-term health conditions.
Question: How can congenital heart defects cause right-side heart failure?
Answer: If you were, it could increase your odds of heart failure. Diabetes, HIV, and thyroid problems are examples of health issues that do not go away and eventually could play a part in heart failure.
Question: What are the symptoms of right-side heart failure?
Answer: That means your heart can't fill with enough blood, and the blood backs up into the veins. If this happens, your legs, ankles, and belly often swell. This is when your heart has an irregular heartbeat. This symptom is called edema. As your heart failure gets worse, you may also see some of these symptoms: It's hard to breathe. Your neck veins are swollen. Your pulse is fast or feels âoff.â Your chest hurts. You're gaining weight from excess fluid. You don't feel like eating. Your skin is cold and sweaty. You're very tired. You're confused and forget things. She may suggest medications to make you more comfortable.
Question: Can medications I take for other conditions affect my heart failure?
Answer: So work closely with your doctor to manage problems like: Abnormal heart valves Heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy) Inflammation of the heart (myocarditis) Heart defects Abnormal heart rhythm such as atrial fibrillation Drugs you take for other conditions can sometimes harm your heart. For instance, some medicines make your body hold on to more salt, which raises blood pressure. Others damage your heart muscle, or interact with drugs you take to control your heart failure. Drugs that can be a problem if you have heart failure include some, but not all treatments for: Asthma Cancer Colds and allergies Depression Diabetes Erectile dysfunction Heart arrhythmia High blood pressure Migraine headaches medicines Pain Seizures Some herbal supplements can worsen heart failure, too.
Question: What can I do to manage my heart failure?
Answer: See your doctor if you: Feel more tired than usual Can't catch your breath Cough or wheeze a lot Suddenly gain weight or your legs and feet get swollen, which means you're holding on to extra fluid Feel dizzy or light-headed Have more trouble exercising than usual Can't eat Feel confused Notice your heart beats very fast Lifestyle changes and medicine can help you manage heart failure and prevent your symptoms from getting worse.
