Radiotherapy can also be delivered through infusion (into the bloodstream) or injection of radioisotope solutions. Examples are the infusion of metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) to treat neuroblastoma, of iodine-131 to treat thyroid cancer, and of hormone-bound lutetium-177 and yttrium-90 to treat neuroendocrine tumors (peptide receptor radionuclide therapy). Another example is the injection of radioactive chalice or resin microspheres into the hepatic artery to radioembolize liver tumors or liver metastases.
