We have treated 5 patients with functioning carcinoid tumors of the liver by injecting Y90 in microspheres into the hepatic artery. This procedure has low morbidity, if extreme care is taken and there is no spillage of the injected material into the arteries of adjacent organs.

Palliation of the severe manifestations of the carcinoid syndrome follows this treatment and makes the therapy worthwhile.
