Survival and Toxicities after Y Transarterial Radioembolization of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in the RESIN Registry.

Background Patients with unresectable, chemorefractory hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer have considerable mortality. The role of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium 90 (Y) microspheres is not defined because most reports are from a single center with limited patient numbers. Purpose To report outcomes in participants with colorectal cancer metastases treated with resin Y microspheres from a prospective multicenter observational registry.

Incidence and risk factors for sustained hepatic function toxicity 6 months after radioembolization: analysis of the radiation-emitting sir-spheres in non-resectable liver tumor (RESIN) registry.

Background: To quantify rates and risk factors for toxicity after hepatic radioembolization using resin yttrium-90 microspheres.

Methods: Radiation-Emitting SIR-Spheres in Non-resectable liver tumor (RESIN) registry enrollees were reviewed with 614 patients included. Mean patient age was 63.

Multicenter Study of Metastatic Lung Tumors Targeted by Interventional Cryoablation Evaluation (SOLSTICE).

Objective: To assess the safety and local recurrence-free survival in patients after cryoablation for treatment of pulmonary metastases.

Methods: This multicenter, prospective, single-arm, phase 2 study included 128 patients with 224 lung metastases treated with percutaneous cryoablation, with 12 and 24 months of follow-up. The patients were enrolled on the basis of the outlined key inclusion criteria, which include one to six metastases from extrapulmonary cancers with a maximal diameter of 3.

Imaged guided transarterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads loaded with doxorubicin (DEBDOX) for hepatic metastases from melanoma: early outcomes from a multi-institutional registry.

Patients with unresectable hepatic metastases from melanoma present a difficult clinical challenge due to lack of locoregional control and poor response to systemic chemotherapy. This study aims to examine the early outcomes of the novel treatment of unresectable hepatic metastases from melanoma with drug-eluting beads loaded with doxorubicin (DEBDOX) delivered via image guided transarterial chemoembolization. A multicenter prospective open registry of hepatic-directed therapy with drug-eluting beads was reviewed.
