Gil Arranja, A. (author), Hennink, W. E. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author), Hendrikx, R.W.A. (author), Nijsen, J. F.W. (author)The aim of this study was the development of radioactive holmium phosphate microspheres (HoPO<sub>4</sub>-MS) with a high holmium content and that are stable in human serum for selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) of liver cancer. To this end, holmium acetylacetonate microspheres (HoAcAc-MS) were prepared (34.2 ± 1.0 µm in diameter,...journal article 2018

(author), Hennink, W.E. (author), Nijsen, F.W. (author)Purpose The clinical application of holmium acetylacetonate microspheres (HoAcAcMS) for the intratumoral radionuclide treatment of solid malignancies requires a thorough understanding of their stability. Therefore, an in vitro and an in vivo stability study with HoAcAcMS was conducted. Methods HoAcAcMS, before and after neutron irradiation, were...journal article 2011

(author), Hennink, W.E. (author), Van het Schip, A.D. (author), Krijger, G.C. (author)Poly(L-lactic acid) microspheres loaded with holmium-166 acetylacetonate (166Ho-PLLA-MS) are a novel microdevice for intra-arterial radioembolization in patients with unresectable liver malignancies. The neutron activation in a nuclear reactor, in particular the gamma heating, damages the 166Ho-PLLA-MS. The degree of damage is dependent on the...journal article 2009

(author), Zonneneberg, B.A. (author), Van den Ingh, T.S.G.A.M. (author), Van het Schip, A.D. (author)Purpose The aim of this study is to evaluate the toxicity of holmium-166 poly(l-lactic acid) microspheres administered into the hepatic artery in pigs. Methods Healthy pigs (20–30 kg) were injected into the hepatic artery with holmium-165-loaded microspheres (165HoMS; n?=?5) or with holmium-166-loaded microspheres (166HoMS; n?=?13). The...journal article 2008

(author), Nijsen, J.F.W. (author)Purpose The aim of this study was to develop microspheres with an ultra high holmium content which can be neutron activated for radioablation of malignancies. These microspheres are proposed to be delivered selectively through either intratumoral injections into solid tumors or administered via an intravascularly placed catheter. Methods...journal article
