Yttrium-90, 90
Y
, is an isotope of yttrium.[2] Yttrium-90 has found a wide range of uses in radiation therapy to treat some forms of cancer.[3]

Decay

[edit]

90
Y
undergoes β decay to zirconium-90 with a half-life of 64.1 hours[3] and a decay energy of 2.28 MeV.[4] It also produces 0.01% 1.7 MeV[5] photons during its decay process. The interaction between emitted electrons and matter can lead to the emission of Bremsstrahlung radiation.

Production

[edit]

Yttrium-90 is produced by the nuclear decay of strontium-90 which has a half-life of nearly 29 years and is a fission product of uranium used in nuclear reactors. As the strontium-90 decays, chemical high-purity separation is used to isolate the yttrium-90 to be precipitated.[6][7]

Medical application

[edit]

90Y plays a significant role in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), leukemia, and lymphoma, although it has the potential to treat a range of tumors.[8][9] Trans-arterial radioembolization is a procedure performed by interventional radiologists in which microspheres are impregnated with 90Y and injected into the arteries supplying the tumor.[10] The microspheres become lodged in blood vessels surrounding the tumor and the resulting radiation damages the nearby tissue.[11] Radioembolization with 90Y significantly prolongs time-to-progression (TTP) of HCC,[12] has a tolerable adverse event profile, and improves patient quality of life more than do similar therapies.[13] 90Y has also found uses in tumor diagnosis by imaging the Bremsstrahlung radiation released by the microspheres.[14]
