Abstract
Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has good clinical efficacy in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, its efficacy varies. This review summarized the ability of various markers to predict the efficacy of HAIC and provided a reference for clinical applications. As of October 25, 2023, 51 articles have been retrieved based on keyword predictions and HAIC. Sixteen eligible articles were selected for inclusion in this study. Comprehensive literature analysis found that methods used to predict the efficacy of HAIC include serological testing, gene testing, and imaging testing. The above indicators and their combined forms showed excellent predictive effects in retrospective studies. This review summarized the strategies currently used to predict the efficacy of HAIC in middle and advanced HCC, analyzed each marker's ability to predict HAIC efficacy, and provided a reference for the clinical application of the prediction system.

[PMID: 38188301 PMCID: PMC10768022 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1283274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Gastric cancer is a common cancer worldwide and is responsible for over one million new cases in 2020 and an estimated 769,000 deaths, ranking fifth for incidence and fourth for mortality globally. Incidence rates are highest in Eastern Asia and Eastern Europe. Gastric cancer is highly heterogeneous and progresses rapidly. The prognosis of gastric cancer with liver metastases is poor, and clinical treatment remains challenging. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positivity is correlated to a bad prognosis for gastric cancer. Trastuzumab combined with systemic chemotherapy is the preferred treatment for HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer. However, intravenous chemotherapy has severe systemic toxicity, which reduces the local drug concentration and tumor uptake rate, and the effect is unsatisfactory. Case summary We reported a 66-year-old patient with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer with jaundice due to multiple liver metastases, after 6 cycles of trastuzumab combined with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), the tumor retracted significantly, the jaundice subsided, and the patient recovered well. The patient achieved disease control with an intensive regimen followed by less toxic maintenance therapy. Trastuzumab combined with capecitabine maintenance therapy followed up for more than 16 months. Conclusion HAIC plus trastuzumab may be a tolerable treatment option for patients with severe liver metastases from HER2-positive gastric cancer to achieve local control and prolong survival.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy is a standard treatment approach for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN) is a severe dose-limiting clinical problem that might lead to treatment interruption. This neuropathy may be reversible after treatment discontinuation. Its complicated mechanisms are related to DNA damage, dysfunction of voltage-gated ion channels, neuroinflammation, transporters, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, etc. Several strategies have been proposed to diminish OIPN without compromising the efficacy of adjuvant therapy, namely, combination with chemoprotectants (such as glutathione, Ca/Mg, ibudilast, duloxetine, etc.), chronomodulated infusion, dose reduction, reintroduction of oxaliplatin and topical administration [hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC), pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC)]. This article provides recent updates related to the potential mechanisms, therapeutic strategies in treatment of OIPN, and pharmacokinetics of several methods of oxaliplatin administration in clinical trials.

Hepatic arterial infusion in combination with systemic chemotherapy in patients with hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer: a randomized phase II study - (NCT05103020) - study protocol. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:691. [PMID: 37481515 PMCID: PMC10363309 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11085-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although 80% of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) experience liver metastases, only 10-25% undergo resection at the time of diagnosis. Even in initially unresectable conditions, if appropriate treatment is provided, such as surgical conversion through a combination of hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) chemotherapy and systemic chemotherapy (sys-CT), better overall survival can be expected. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of HAI oxaliplatin in combination with sys-CT plus targeted therapy in patients with unresectable CRC with liver-only metastasis. METHODS This is a single-center, randomized, open-label phase II trial (NCT05103020). Patients with untreated CRC, who have liver-only metastases and for whom liver resection is potentially possible but deemed infeasible at the time of initial diagnosis by a multidisciplinary team, will be eligible. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the combined HAI oxaliplatin and modified systemic 5-fluorouracil, folinic acid, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) plus targeted therapy group or the systemic FOLFIRI plus targeted therapy group. Both regimens will be repeated every 2 weeks for a total of 12 cycles. The primary objective of this study is to compare the rate of conversion to liver resection. The surgical conversion rate is expected to increase by 25% with HAI oxaliplatin in combination with sys-CT plus targeted therapy (40% in the experimental arm versus 15% in the control arm) (power, 80%; two-sided alpha-risk, 5%). The secondary objectives include overall survival, progression-free survival, and objective response rate. DISCUSSION This is the first randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of HAI oxaliplatin in combination with sys-CT plus targeted therapy as first-line treatment from the initial diagnosis in patients with unresectable CRC with liver-only metastasis, aiming to significantly increase the surgical conversion rate. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, (NCT05103020). Trial registration date: November 2, 2021.

Abstract
Methods This was a single-arm historical cohort study of ESCC patients with synchronous or heterochronous LM between December 2014 and July 2021 at the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology. The patients were treated with HAIC for LM, and regular image assessments were performed according to the judgment of the interventional physician. Liver progression-free survival (PFS), liver objective response rate (ORR), liver disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), adverse events (AEs), treatment information, and basic characteristics were observed retrospectively. Results Overall, a total of 33 patients were enrolled in this study. All included patients received catheterized HAIC therapy, with a median of three (ranging from 2 to 6) sessions. The treatment response of liver metastatic lesions included partial response (PR) in 16 (48.5%) patients, stable disease (SD) in 15 (45.5%) patients, and progressive disease (PD) in two (6.1%) patients, for an ORR of 48.5% and a DCR of 93.9%. The median liver PFS was 4.8 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 3.0-6.6 months), and the median OS was 6.4 months (95% CI: 6.1-6.6 months). Patients who achieved PR at the liver metastasis site after HAIC were more likely to have a longer OS than those who achieved SD or PD. Grade 3 AEs occurred in 12 patients. The most common grade 3 AE was nausea, occurring in 10 (30.0%) patients, followed by abdominal pain in three (9.1%) patients. Only one patient showed grade 3 elevation of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and one patient suffered from grade 3 embolism syndrome AEs. Grade 4 adverse events, followed by abdominal pain, occurred in one patient. Conclusion Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy might be an option as a regional therapy for ESCC patients with LM, as it is acceptable and tolerable.

Abstract
The treatment and management of hepatic malignancies can be complex because it encompasses a variety of primary and metastatic malignancies and an assortment of local and systemic treatment options. When to use each of these treatments is critical to ensure the most appropriate care for patients. Interventional radiologists have a key role to play in the delivery of a variety of liver directed treatments including percutaneous ablation, transarterial embolization with bland embolic particles alone, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with injection of a chemotherapeutic emulsion, and transarterial radioembolization (TARE). Based on 9 clinical variants, the appropriateness of each treatment is described in this document. The ACR Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision process support the systematic analysis of the medical literature from peer reviewed journals. Established methodology principles such as Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE are adapted to evaluate the evidence. The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method User Manual provides the methodology to determine the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances in which peer reviewed literature is lacking or equivocal, experts may be the primary evidentiary source available to formulate a recommendation.

Abstract
Background The purpose was to compare the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of oxaliplatin plus raltitrexed (TOMOX) to those of oxaliplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (FOLFOX) for unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM). Methods Patients with unresectable CRCLM were randomly assigned to receive HAI of TOMOX or FOLFOX. The primary end points were progression-free survival (PFS) measured from the date of randomisation until the date of disease progression and objective response rate (ORR). The secondary end points were overall survival (OS) measured from the date of randomisation until the date of death from any cause, disease control rate (DCR), and adverse events. Results 113 patients were randomly assigned. With a median follow-up of 39.5 months, the PFS was 5.8 months [95% CI, 4.838–6.762]) and 4.6 months [95% CI, 3.419–5.781; P = 0.840], and the median OS was 17.6 months [95% CI, 13.828–21.372] and 13.1 months [95% CI, 11.215–14.985; P = 0.178] for the FOLFOX and TOMOX arm, respectively. The ORR were 26.1% vs 22.4% and DCR were 80.4% vs 71.4% in the FOLFOX and TOMOX arms. The most common severe adverse event was elevation of liver enzymes and pain, which did not differ in the two arms. Conclusion HAI chemotherapy was effective for unresectable CRCLM. HAI of FOLFOX has similar efficacy to TOMOX, and HAI of TOMOX had shorter arterial infusion time. Clinical Trial Registration https://clinicaltrials.gov/, identifier NCT02557490.

Abstract
Objective Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is an effective treatment for advanced unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM). This study was conducted to predict the efficacy of HAIC in patients with unresectable CRLM by radiomics methods based on pretreatment computed tomography (CT) examinations and clinical data. Materials and Methods A total of 63 patients were included in this study (41 in the training group and 22 in the validation group). All these patients underwent CT examination before HAIC. During the follow-up period, CT scans and laboratory examinations were performed regularly. Eighty-five radiological features were extracted from the regions of interest (ROIs) of CT images using the PyRadiomics program. The t-test and correlation were applied to select features. These features were analyzed using LASSO-Cox regression, and a linear model was developed to predict overall survival (OS). Results After reducing features by t-test and correlation test, seven features remained. After LASSO-Cox cross-validation, four features remained at λ = 0.232. They were gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), gray level run length matrix (GLRLM), neighborhood gray tone difference matrix (NGTDM), and the location of the primary tumor. The C-index was 0.758 in the training group and 0.743 in the test group. Nomograms predicting 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival were established. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that a radiomics approach based on pretreatment CT texture analysis has the ability to predict early the outcome of HAIC in patients with advanced unresectable colorectal cancer with a high degree of accuracy and feasibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary and secondary liver tumors are not always amenable to resection due to location and size. Inadequate future liver remnant (FLR) may prevent patients from having a curative resection or may result in increased postoperative morbidity and mortality from complications related to small-for-size syndrome (SFSS). DATA SOURCES This comprehensive review analyzed the principles, mechanism and risk factors associated with SFSS and presented current available options in the evaluation of FLR when planning liver surgery. In addition, it provided a detailed description of specific modalities that can be used before, during or after surgery, in order to optimize the conditions for a safe resection and minimize the risk of SFSS. RESULTS Several methods which aim to reduce tumor burden, preserve healthy liver parenchyma, induce hypertrophy of FLR or prevent postoperative complications help minimize the risk of SFSS. CONCLUSIONS With those techniques the indications of radical treatment for patients with liver tumors have significantly expanded. The successful outcome depends on appropriate patient selection, the individualization and modification of interventions and the right timing of surgery.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is third most common malignant disease and second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In 2020, there were 5900 new cases in Serbia and around 3300 number of deaths related to this disease. Metastatic disease is most frequently located in liver. Surgery is first option if complete resection of liver metastases is achievable. Since liver metastases are resectable in 10 - 20% of cases, there is a possibility of implementation of other treatment modality. Alternative for surgery in local treatment of unresectable metastases are stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), interstitial and intraluminal brachytherapy, transarterial chemoembolization, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, selective internal radiation therapy with yttrium-90 resin microspheres, cryoablation, radiofrequency, chemical, and microwave ablation. Candidates for SBRT are patients with unresectable liver metastatic disease and patients with comorbidities which disable surgical treatment, with adequate function of uninvolved liver tissue. Respiration induced motion of target volume can be reduced by introduction of motion management strategies such as infrared markers, deep inspiration breath hold, abdominal compression, respiratory tracking and gating. CyberKnife, TomoTherapy machine and modified linear accelerators are used for delivering SBRT. These units allow us to deliver dose more precisely and to make dose escalation. Different regimes of fractionation are optional, from single fraction to hypo fractionation regimes, and doses are typically around 30 - 60 Gy in 3 fractions. Low toxicity rates in patients with liver metastases treated with SBRT are in relation with precise treatment planning, dose prescription and fractionation. Results of research suggest that delivery of large doses can provide high rate of local response, but on the other hand there is possibility of disease progression out of target volumes. With adequate selection of patients with unresectable liver metastases, the implementation of SBRT, especially in combination with effective systematic treatment modalities, can provide better local control with extension of survival.

Abstract
For patients with isolated liver metastases from colorectal cancer who are not candidates for potentially curative resections, non-surgical local treatments may be useful. Non-surgical local treatments are classified according to how the treatment is administered. Local treatments are applied directly on hepatic parenchyma, such as radiofrequency, microwave hyperthermia and cryotherapy. Locoregional therapies are delivered through the hepatic artery, such as chemoinfusion, chemoembolization or selective internal radiation with Yttrium 90 radioembolization. The purpose of this review is to describe the different interventional therapies that are available for these patients in routine clinical practice, the most important clinical trials that have tried to demonstrate the effectiveness of each therapy and recommendations from principal medical oncologic societies.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading cancers globally in terms of both incidence and cancer-related mortality. Liver metastatic disease is the main prognostic driver for patients with CRC. The management options for liver metastatic CRC continue to evolve, particularly with the incorporation of locoregional therapies into the treatment paradigm. Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) chemotherapy is one such liver directed approach used with the goal of converting patients to liver resection, reducing the risk of recurrence, treating recurrent disease, and most importantly improving overall survival. This article summarizes the role of HAI chemotherapy in the treatment of liver metastatic CRC.

Abstract
Approximately 50% of colorectal cancer patients develop liver metastases. Hepatic metastases represent the most common cause of colorectal cancer-related mortality. Metastasectomy, if possible, represents the most effective treatment strategy; 20% of patients will be cured and more than 50% survive at least 5 years. Nuances to treatment planning hinge on whether patients present with resectable disease upfront, whether the future liver remnant is adequate, and whether the primary tumor, if present, is colon versus rectal in origin. This article discusses considerations impacting our approach to patients with colorectal liver metastases and the role for various multimodal treatment options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) combined with systemic chemotherapy has shown promising results in patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), even after failure to systemic therapy. Addition of systemic targeted therapies has been investigated with controversial results regarding tolerance, especially with HAI-floruxidine when combined with systemic bevacizumab. Our study aimed to analyse feasibility, safety and efficacy of HAI-oxaliplatin plus systemic chemotherapy and targeted therapies. METHODS Between 2005 and 2016, single-centre consecutive patients with unresectable CRLM who received at least one cycle of HAI-oxaliplatin plus systemic chemotherapy and targeted therapies (cetuximab/panitumumab or bevacizumab) were analysed. RESULTS A total of 89 patients (median age 55 years (range, 26-76 years) who previously received a median number of one systemic chemotherapy regimen (range, 0-5) including oxaliplatin in 78% of cases were included. Median number of HAI-oxaliplatin cycles was 9 (range, 1-28) combined with systemic chemotherapy and targeted therapies (LV5FU2 [63%], FOLFIRI [36%]) plus anti-EGFR (30%), or bevacizumab (70%). Grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (40%), HAI-related abdominal pain (43%) and neurotoxicity (12%). The intent-to-treat objective response rate was 42%, and 45% had stable disease, allowing complete CRLM resection/ablation in 27% of patients. After a median follow-up of 72 months, median overall and progression-free survival was 20 and 9 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Addition of targeted therapy to systemic chemotherapy combined with HAI-oxaliplatin is feasible, safe and shows promising activity, even after systemic chemotherapy failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy is an advanced cancer therapy for primary and secondary hepatic malignancies. The risk of concurrent hepatic and/or colorectal operations with HAIP placement is unknown. Our objective was to characterize the short-term outcomes of concurrent surgery with HAIP placement. METHODS The 2005-2017 ACS NSQIP dataset was queried for patients undergoing hepatic and colorectal operations with or without HAIP placement. Outcomes were compared for HAIP placement with different combined procedures. Patients who underwent procedures without HAIP placement were propensity score matched with those with HAIP placement. The primary outcome was 30-day death or serious morbidity (DSM). Secondary outcomes included infectious complications, wound complications, length of stay (LOS), and operative time. RESULTS Of 467 patients who underwent HAIP placement, 83.9% had concurrent surgery. The rate of DSM was 10.7% for HAIP placement alone, 19.2% with concurrent minor hepatic procedures, 22.1% with concurrent colorectal resection, 23.2% with concurrent minor hepatic plus colorectal procedures, 28.4% with concurrent major hepatic resection, and 41.7% with concurrent major hepatic plus colorectal resection. On matched analyses, there was no difference in DSM, infectious, or wound complications for procedures with HAIP placement compared with the additional procedure alone, but operative time (294.7 vs 239.8 min, difference 54.9, 95% CI 42.8-67.0) and LOS (6 vs 5, IRR 1.20, 95% CI 1.08-1.33) were increased. CONCLUSIONS HAIP placement is not associated with additional morbidity when performed with hepatic and/or colorectal surgery. Decisions regarding HAIP placement should consider the risks of concurrent operations, and patient- and disease-specific factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic artery infusion (HAI) and drug selection by liquid biopsy precision oncotherapy are under investigation for the multidisciplinary treatment of unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRCLM) in progression after systemic therapy. Here, we compare the safety and efficacy of third-line HAI followed by target therapy with drug regimes selected by liquid biopsy precision oncotherapy to third-line systemic therapy with drug regimes selected partly by tissue biopsy precision oncotherapy, in a retrospective real-life study of 106 unresectable CRCLM patients. METHODS Drug regimens for HAI/target therapy were selected by assessing the sensitivity of purified circulating tumor cell (CTCs) to 5-fluorouracil, carboplatin, cisplatin, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, doxorubicin, mitomycin, raltitrexed, and melphalan in-vitro and by real-time qRT-PCR gene expression assays, and for the Systemic therapy cohort were selected by age, comorbidity, performance status, and absence of RAS mutations. Therapeutic responses, adverse events, and quality of life were evaluated by RECIST 1.1, CTCAE 4.03, and ECOG criteria, respectively, and chemo-filtration performed following HAI to reduce systemic toxic effects. RESULTS HAI/target therapy with drugs selected by liquid biopsy precision oncotherapy (44 patients), resulted in 2.27% CRs, 38.63% PRs, 56.81% SD,s and 2.27% PDs; ECOG 2 to 1 improvement, but no infusion-related technical or vascular complications, or deaths. Systemic therapy (62 patients) resulted in 1.6% CRs, 17.74% PRs, 37.09% SDs, and 45.16% PDs; more grade 1-2 adverse events and 4.84% ECOG 1 to 2 worsening. The median 5 month PFS in the HAI/target therapy cohort was significantly longer than 3 months in the systemic cohort (P < 0.007) and the median 14 month survival in the HAI/target therapy cohort was longer than 8.5 months in the systemic therapy cohort but not statistically significant. Multivariate analysis identified ECOG grade 2 as the most unfavourable survival prognostic factor in both cohorts. CONCLUSIONS HAI plus chemo-filtration followed by target therapy, with drug regimens selected by liquid biopsy precision oncotherapy, is a safe and efficacious alternative therapeutic strategy for unresectable CRCLM in progression after two lines of systemic therapy and should be considered for a multicentre prospective phase III study, to fully confirm this potential.

Abstract
In colorectal cancer (CRC), hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) chemotherapy may convert primarily unresectable CRC liver metastases (CLM) into resectability, although the risk of metastatic recurrence remains high after CLM ablation. We investigated the role of antitumour immunity invoked by first-line oxaliplatin-HAI for long-term CLM outcome. In a prospective study cohort of primarily unresectable CLM, we assessed patients' fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3LG) in serum, reflecting opportune intratumoural immune activity, at baseline and following 1-3 sequences of oxaliplatin-HAI. The end points were CLM resectability and overall survival. Patients who presented an immediate twofold increment of circulating FLT3LG during the treatment and at its completion were scored as CLM resectable (16.4% with both features), were alive at final follow-up 8-12 years later. All patients experienced FLT3LG increase during the treatment course, but those who remained unresectable or had the disease converted but presented a slow and gradual FLT3LG accretion, later died of the metastatic disease. These data provide further support to our previous findings that tumour-directed immunity invoked by oxaliplatin-containing therapy predicts excellent outcome of early advanced CRC if macroscopic tumour ablation is rendered possible by the 'classic' tumour response to the cytotoxic treatment.

Abstract
Liver metastases (LM) are often consequences of colo-rectal cancer (CRC)and the majority of patients have unresectable LM. Oxaliplatin-based intravenous chemotherapy represents the gold standard treatment for CRC. Intravenous oxaliplatin has several side effects i.e., nephrologic, hematologic and neurological toxicity. Moreover, hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of antitumor drugs deeply modifies the treatment of LMCRC due to the knowledge that LM are perfused by the hepatic artery network, whereas healthy tissue is perfused by the portal vein. Therefore, oxaliplatin-based HAI becomes an interesting possibility to treat LMCRC. The aim of this review is to shed light on the important impact of the oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy from a non-conventional clinical point of view, considering that, being universally accepted its antitumor effect if administered intravenously, fragmentary information are known about its clinical applications and benefits deriving from intra-arterial administration in loco-regional chemotherapy.

Abstract
The technique of hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) for the treatment of liver metastases from colorectal cancer has been developed over more than 30 years. Although the indications and protocols for this technique have evolved with time, HAI is not routinely performed in clinical practice. Studies have been heterogeneous, with different regimens of intra-arterial drugs, associated or not with systemic chemotherapy, and with unconvincing outcomes. Technical difficulties for catheter placement have limited the implementation of this method in routine practice. The aim of this review is to present recent studies, highlighting technical improvements and promising combinations of oxaliplatin-based HAI with systemic treatments. HAI is being investigated in both the metastatic setting - in the first line and beyond - and in the adjuvant setting, and we will discuss its potential place in current and future patient management.
