David Grant Medical Center tests advance cancer treatment

Devices designed to detect radioactive material were used during an Yttrium-90 radioembolization procedure to ensure the safety for medical personnel during a procedure at David Grant U.S. Air Force Medical center, Sept. 7, 2018, Travis Air Force Base, Calif. The Y-90 radioembolization is an advanced and minimally invasive method utilized to treat cancer by delivering millions of tiny radioactive beads inside the blood vessels that feed a tumor. The high dose of targeted radiation prospectively kills the tumor while sparing normal tissue. This was the first time the treatment was performed at DGMC. (U.S. Air Force photo by Heide Couch)
