Radiation oncology firm Sirtex Medical has debuted Siros, a delivery system for its yttrium-90 (Y-90) microspheres.
The system is designed to deliver the company's SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres to patients undergoing radioembolization therapy for liver cancer. It uses visually controlled administration to help physicians quickly and precisely deliver the microspheres, the company noted.
