Abstract
Purpose
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of escalated-dosing Yttrium-90 transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for unresectable, unablatable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) to the liver.
Materials and Methods
A retrospective review (September 2009 to March 2020) included 45 patients with liver-dominant mCRC treated with segmental Y90 or modified radiation lobectomy. Patient demographics, treatment details, adverse events, imaging response, and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. OS Prognosticators were examined using log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression.
Results
45 patients (median age 61.4 years; 60% male) were included, with 96% ECOG 0-1. Prior treatments included primary site resection (93%), liver resection (65%), chemotherapy (60%), and ablation (27%). Extrahepatic disease was present in 51%. 71% of patients had < 25% liver tumor burden (mean tumor size = 4.8 cm). Treatment was technically successful in all cases, with 4% 30-day mortality. Adverse events were mostly low-grade, including fatigue (58%) and abdominal pain (20%). Mean neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) increase was 2.9, and 33% of patients showed 50% reduction in CEA. Imaging responses (RECIST) included SD (80%), PR (18%), PD (2%), and CR (0%), with PET/CT showing 39% objective response after 4.2 months. Median OS was 41.9 months (95% CI 15.4-NE). Extrahepatic disease significantly reduced OS (15.7 vs. 44.4 months, P = .0033). Both pre- and post-NLR (HR:1.42, P = .007; HR 1.12, P = .027) were associated with worse OS. In the multivariable analysis, Pre-NLR and extrahepatic disease remained adverse prognosticators.
Conclusion
Y90 TARE with escalated dosing demonstrated an acceptable safety profile in heavily pretreated mCRC patients. Extrahepatic disease and pre-NLR were significant adverse prognosticators. Future studies should explore Y90 TARE dosing in mCRC patients.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Colorectal Cancer is a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of gastrointestinal cancers. Clinical Colorectal Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of colorectal, pancreatic, liver, and other gastrointestinal cancers. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to gastrointestinal cancers. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
