A 78-year-old retired fisherman from a coastal village arrived with a massive, inoperable liver tumor causing debilitating pain. With limited family support and traditional beliefs about medical intervention, Dr. Saçan established trust through multiple conversations before performing palliative radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres. His pain reduced dramatically within weeks, allowing him peaceful final months tending his garden, with neighbors providing his primary care.
