Background: Radioembolization with yttrium-90 (Y-90) is utilized to treat primary liver malignancies. The efficacy of this intra-arterial therapy in arterially hypoperfused tumors is not known.

Methods: We reviewed data of patients with primary liver tumors treated with Y-90 prescription doses of at least 150 Gy.

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) have a poor prognosis with current treatments. High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (AHCT) is used as a consolidation strategy after achieving clinical remission with first-line therapy, as well as in chemotherapy-sensitive relapse if allogeneic transplant is not an option. CD25 is a targetable protein often highly expressed in PTCLs.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major global health issue, being one of the most common cancers and a leading cause of cancer deaths, with intra-arterial therapies like TACE and SIRT being key treatment options for non-resectable cases.
  • - TACE is typically used for patients with stage B HCC, while SIRT has shown promising results in patients previously treated with TACE, despite not having an official role in treatment guidelines.
  • - A study involving 23 patients indicated that SIRT post-TACE resulted in a 73.8% objective response rate, with 56.5% achieving complete response, highlighting SIRT's potential effectiveness despite the complications associated with TACE.

Purpose: To assess whether yttrium-90 transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is safe and effective in the treatment of primary lung cancer metastases to the liver (LCML).

Methods And Methods: This retrospective study included 57 patients with LCML who were treated with 79 TARE treatments. Histology included non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (n = 27), small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (n = 17), and lung carcinoid (LC) (n = 13).
