Abstract 3692: Single center phase II study of yttrium-90 radioactive resin microspheres in the treatment of liver predominant metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma after failure of 1st-line combination chemotherapy
Abstract:Background: Colorectal cancer is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death. Liver metastases develop in half of all the colorectal cancer (CRC) cases and cause death in ∼90% of patients. We are evaluating the treatment of liver metastases through the incorporation of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) using Yttrium-90 radioactive microspheres for subjects with liver progressive disease following failure of first-line FOLFOX (± bevacizumab). We are presentin… Show more
