About the Company

Sirtex

Targets liver tumors with radioembolization beads

Sirtex develops liver-directed cancer therapy using SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres to treat inoperable liver tumors through selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). The tiny beads are delivered via a catheter into the liver arteries feeding the tumor, where they lodge in small vessels and emit radiation locally to kill cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Its focus on a catheter-based, liver-specific approach with an established regulatory path distinguishes it from external-beam radiation or systemic chemotherapy. The goal is to provide effective, targeted radiation therapy for liver cancer and expand global access to SIRT.
