Radioembolization of Symptomatic, Unresectable Neuroendocrine Hepatic Metastases Using Yttrium-90 Microspheres

Abstract: Radioembolization with (90)Y-microspheres is a safe and effective treatment option in patients with otherwise treatment-refractory NETLMs. Antitumoral effect is supported by good local tumor control, decreased tumor-marker levels, and improved clinical symptoms. Further investigation is warranted to define the role of radioembolization in the treatment paradigm for NETLMs.

“…When stratified by tumor proliferation index (B), median OS was 8 mo (95% CI, 5-11) in patients with index greater than 5%, whereas for Ki-67 of 5% or less, median OS was not reached after 54 mo (P 5 0.007). (14,16,18,19,21), median OS was not reached in 2 other reports after a median follow-up of 13-17 mo (17,20), and 1 large retrospective multicenter evaluation yielded an extraordinarily long median OS of 70 mo (15). Reported symptomatic and biochemical response rates were in the range of 75%-95% (17,(19)(20)(21) and 45%-67% (17,19,20), respectively.…”

“…There is a substantial database demonstrating the efficacy of radioembolization in hepatic NET as found by prospective and retrospective studies (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Most reported median OS rates range between 25 and 36 mo from treatment .…”

“…The radiographic responses (hepatic ORR of 73% and DCR of 100%) appear favorable in comparison to the previously reported rates for ORR (23-64%) and DCR (67-98%) (9)(10)(11)(12)(34)(35)(36). The radiographic responses reported in this study represent best observed responses.…”

“…Among different forms of radioisotope treatment in NETs, including PNETs, radioembolisation of hepatic metastases with yttrium-labelled microspheres is used [142,251]. Since there are no reports on the use of radioembolisation in a larger group of patients, further studies in this field are necessary.…”
