Abstract
Background: Selective and superselective intra-arterial cerebral infusion (SIACI/SSIACI) delivers chemotherapy directly to tumor-supplying arteries, achieving high local drug levels with reduced systemic toxicity. Often combined with blood-brain barrier disruption (BBBd) to enhance penetration, these methods have been widely studied, yet a comprehensive evidence synthesis is lacking. This study systematically assesses the safety and efficacy of intra-arterial chemotherapy with BBBd for glioma treatment.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for studies on SIACI with BBBd in glioma patients. Safety outcomes included rates of cases with complications, procedure-related complications (major/minor), stroke, intracranial and intratumoral hemorrhage, and mortality. Efficacy was based on tumor response (complete, partial, stable disease, progression). A subanalysis of SSIACI-only cases was also conducted.
Results: Nine studies with 230 glioma patients were included. The pooled rate of cases with complications was 27.1% (95% CI 19.8% to 35.7%), with procedure-related complications occurring in 15.4% (95% CI 6.1% to 24.6%). Major and minor complication rates were 4.3% (95% CI 0.9% to 7.7%) and 9.7% (95% CI 1.0% to 18.7%), respectively. Stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and intratumoral hemorrhage occurred in 3.1% (95% CI 0% to 6.1%), 0.5% (95% CI 0% to 3.2%), and 0.04% (95% CI 0% to 3%), respectively, with no procedure-related deaths reported. Pooled response rates were 10.4% complete (95% CI 0% to 21.5%), 24.2% partial (95% CI 14.3% to 34.1%), 38.2% stable disease (95% CI 21.5% to 54.9%), and 39.3% progression (95% CI 14.8% to 63.8%). Subanalysis of superselective infusions yielded comparable outcomes to the overall cohort.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that SIACI/SSIACI chemotherapy following BBBd is a feasible and safe approach for glioma treatment, demonstrating a favorable procedural risk profile and preliminary signs of efficacy. Further studies are warranted to validate these results and refine procedural protocols.
背景:选择性和超选择性脑动脉输注(SIACI/SSIACI)将化疗直接输送到肿瘤供应动脉,实现高局部药物水平和降低全身毒性。这些方法通常与血脑屏障破坏(BBBd)联合使用以增强穿透性,已被广泛研究,但缺乏全面的证据合成。本研究系统评估了动脉内化疗BBBd治疗胶质瘤的安全性和有效性。方法:我们检索了PubMed, Embase和Web of Science关于脑胶质瘤患者SIACI与BBBd的研究。安全性结局包括并发症发生率、手术相关并发症(主要/次要)、中风、颅内和肿瘤内出血以及死亡率。疗效基于肿瘤反应(完全、部分、疾病稳定、进展)。还对仅ssiaci病例进行了亚分析。结果:9项研究纳入230例胶质瘤患者。合并并发症发生率为27.1% (95% CI 19.8% ~ 35.7%),手术相关并发症发生率为15.4% (95% CI 6.1% ~ 24.6%)。主要和次要并发症发生率分别为4.3% (95% CI 0.9% ~ 7.7%)和9.7% (95% CI 1.0% ~ 18.7%)。卒中、颅内出血和肿瘤内出血发生率分别为3.1% (95% CI 0% ~ 6.1%)、0.5% (95% CI 0% ~ 3.2%)和0.04% (95% CI 0% ~ 3%),无手术相关死亡报告。合并缓解率为完全缓解率10.4% (95% CI 0% ~ 21.5%),部分缓解率24.2% (95% CI 14.3% ~ 34.1%),稳定缓解率38.2% (95% CI 21.5% ~ 54.9%),进展缓解率39.3% (95% CI 14.8% ~ 63.8%)。超选择性输注的亚分析结果与整个队列相当。结论:研究结果表明,BBBd后SIACI/SSIACI化疗是一种可行且安全的胶质瘤治疗方法,具有良好的程序风险特征和初步疗效迹象。需要进一步的研究来验证这些结果并完善程序协议。
