Drug-eluting beads loaded with irinotecan to treat synchronous liver-only metastases of colorectal cancer non-responsive to bevacizumab-based chemotherapy
Abstract:Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of drug-eluting beads loaded with irinotecan (DEBIRI) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with synchronous liver-only metastases non-responsive to bevacizumab-based chemotherapy (BBC). Methods: Fifty-eight patients were enrolled in this study. Treatment response to BBC and DEBIRI were determined by the morphological criteria and Choi’s criteria, respectively. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were recorded. The correlation between pre-DEBIRI CT param… Show more
