Important Safety Information

TheraSphere Microspheres are small radioactive glass beads that treat liver cancer. With all medical procedures, there are risks associated with the procedure and the use of the device. Although the radioactivity continues to go down over time, the glass beads will remain permanently in your liver. The risks include but are not limited to • Bleeding from the stomach or intestines • Fatigue (feeling very tired) • Fever • Infection • Loss of appetite • Mild abdominal discomfort • Nausea • Radiation damage to other locations (including but not limited to lungs, gallbladder, stomach, intestines) • Stomach or intestinal ulcer • Temporary changes in liver and blood tests • Vomiting. Rarely the treatment may cause worsening of your liver function that could lead to liver failure and death. Tell your doctor if side effects continue or get worse. Be aware that some side effects may last longer or, rarely, become permanent. Everyone responds differently to their treatment. These are not all the possible side effects you may feel. Contact your doctor if you experience any side effects. Be sure to talk with your doctor so that you thoroughly understand all of the risks and benefits associated with the use of the device. 97574929
