Microspheres were usually associated with giant cell reaction or histiocytes. In the tumour bed, tumour necrosis, mucinous alteration, collections of foamy histiocytes, ectatic vessels, calcification and fibrosis were observed. There was minimal cellular inflammatory response observed, suggestive of direct radiation injury as a non-immune mediated process.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We describe in detail the spectrum of histopathological changes in malignant tissue and liver parenchyma in patients with metastatic CRC treated with SIRT. Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the principal mechanism of action of SIRT appears to be via arterially directed delivery of highly radioactive microspheres in and around the vascular tumour bed rather than by micro-arterial embolisation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/jclinpath-2012-201231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,17]],"date-time":"2012-11-17T01:14:24Z","timestamp":1353114864000},"page":"205-211","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Anatomical basis and histopathological changes resulting from selective internal radiotherapy for liver metastases"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"Lai Mun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular Pathology, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anant R","family":"Jani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Cancer Research UK\u2013Medical Research Council Gray Institute, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Esme J","family":"Hill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Cancer Research UK\u2013Medical Research Council Gray Institute, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ricky A","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Cancer Research UK\u2013Medical Research Council Gray Institute, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025120600374920000_66.3.205.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ncpgasthep1357"},{"key":"2025120600374920000_66.3.205.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(03)12388-4"},{"key":"2025120600374920000_66.3.205.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrclinonc.2009.165"},{"key":"2025120600374920000_66.3.205.4","unstructured":"Boerhaave H .
