Abstract Yttrium-90 (Y-90) trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) is used in the management of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). During the last 5 years, dosimetry software has been developed to allow for a more rigorous approach of dose prescription in Y-90 TARE. We present here a case study of a 77-year-old woman diagnosed with HCC, who underwent a Y-90 TARE as a bridge procedure to liver resection. This clinical scenario represents a unique opportunity to illustrate the predictive value of dosimetric findings correlating dosimetry with pathological findings. In this case, Y-90 TARE dosimetry was predictive of treatment response in which the tumor received a mean dose of 156 Gy and demonstrated a complete pathologic response.
