Radiation Lobectomy in Adjunct to Double Vein Embolization to Reach Sufficient Future Liver Remnant in Patients with Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases: A Case Series.

Purpose: To describe the outcome of radiation lobectomy (RL) after double vein embolization (portal vein embolization + hepatic vein embolization) for patients with insufficient future liver remnant growth.

Materials And Methods: All patients with insufficient FLR function (as determined by hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HIDA); < 2.7%/min/m) after double vein embolization who underwent RL between 2020 and 2023 were selected.

Hepatic Radioembolization: A Multistep Theragnostic Procedure.

This article provides a thorough overview of the practice and multistep approach of hepatic radioembolization. The current literature on hepatic radioembolization in primary or metastatic liver tumors as well as future perspectives are discussed.

Dose-effect relationships in neuroendocrine tumour liver metastases treated with [Ho]-radioembolization.

Purpose: Aim of this study was to investigate a dose-response relationship, dose-toxicity relationship, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in neuroendocrine tumour liver metastases (NELM) treated with holmium-166-microspheres radioembolization ([Ho]-radioembolization).

Materials And Methods: Single center, retrospective study included patients with NELM that received [Ho]-radioembolization with post-treatment SPECT/CT and CECT or MRI imaging for 3 months follow-up. Post-treatment SPECT/CT was used to calculate tumour (D) and whole liver healthy tissue (D) absorbed dose.

Combining Selective Internal Radiation Therapy with Immunotherapy in Treating Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Hepatic Colorectal Metastases: A Systematic Review.

Immunotherapy in the form of checkpoint inhibitors has changed the treatment paradigm in oncology. Combining selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with immunotherapy has been suggested to potentially improve outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC). In this systematic review, the authors discuss the current developments and available clinical data regarding the combination of immunotherapy and SIRT in treating hepatic malignancies.

The Evolving Role of Radioembolization in the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Liver Metastases.

At diagnosis, 21-50% of neuroendocrine tumors already have distant metastases, of which the liver is most commonly affected. Unfortunately, the presence of neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM) is the most incriminating factor for survival. At NELM diagnosis, 60-70% of patients suffer from bilobar multifocal disease, making them ineligible for surgical resection.

Nerve Surgery to Treat Intractable Genitofemoral Neuropathic Pain following Laparoscopic Live Kidney Donation.

To date live laparoscopic donor nephrectomies (LLDN) are frequently performed. The most common complications entail bleeding, wound infection, and incisional hernia. Here we discuss a 50-year-old patient with a severe less known complication, namely, postoperative persistent neuropathic pain in the scrotum and left upper leg.
