Due to the widespread use of radioembolisation not only in Germany but also in Europe this 3rd
edition has been published in English to increase the range of coverage of this book. Beside a
change of the term from SIRT (selective internal radiation therapy) to TARE (transarterial
radioembolisation) in professional literature there were substantial changes during the last
five years regarding the indications and frequency of TARE. Precisely because the TARE is still
under development regarding indications and material used the present revised and updated
textbook would like to give all oncological colleagues and colleagues interested in TARE
especially the newcomers a short structured overview about this interdisciplinary kind of
therapy with a special focus on indications and benefits for treated patients.
