Selective internal radiation therapy segmentectomy: A new minimally invasive curative option for primary liver malignancies? World J Gastroenterol 2024; 30:2379-2386. [PMID: 38764771 PMCID: PMC11099395 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i18.2379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Transarterial radioembolization or selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) has emerged as a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of tumors. This percutaneous technique involves the local, intra-arterial delivery of radioactive microspheres directly into the tumor. Historically employed as a palliative measure for liver malignancies, SIRT has gained traction over the past decade as a potential curative option, mirroring the increasing role of radiation segmentectomy. The latest update of the BCLC hepatocellular carcinoma guidelines recognizes SIRT as an effective treatment modality comparable to other local ablative methods, particularly well-suited for patients where surgical resection or ablation is not feasible. Radiation segmentectomy is a more selective approach, aiming to deliver high-dose radiation to one to three specific hepatic segments, while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Future research efforts in radiation segmentectomy should prioritize optimizing radiation dosimetry and refining the technique for super-selective administration of radiospheres within the designated hepatic segments.

Abstract
PURPOSE Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) procedures treat liver tumors by injecting radioactive microspheres into the hepatic artery. Currently, there is a critical need to optimize TARE towards a personalized dosimetry approach. To this aim, we present a novel microsphere dosimetry (MIDOS) stochastic model to estimate the activity delivered to the tumor(s), normal liver, and lung. METHODS MIDOS incorporates adult male/female liver computational phantoms with the hepatic arterial, hepatic portal venous, and hepatic venous vascular trees. Tumors can be placed in both models at user discretion. The perfusion of microspheres follows cluster patterns, and a Markov chain approach was applied to microsphere navigation, with the terminal location of microspheres determined to be in either normal hepatic parenchyma, hepatic tumor, or lung. A tumor uptake model was implemented to determine if microspheres get lodged in the tumor, and a probability was included in determining the shunt of microspheres to the lung. A sensitivity analysis of the model parameters was performed, and radiation segmentectomy/lobectomy procedures were simulated over a wide range of activity perfused. Then, the impact of using different microspheres, i.e., SIR-Sphere®, TheraSphere®, and QuiremSphere®, on the tumor-to-normal ratio (TNR), lung shunt fraction (LSF), and mean absorbed dose was analyzed. RESULTS Highly vascularized tumors translated into increased TNR. Treatment results (TNR and LSF) were significantly more variable for microspheres with high particle load. In our scenarios with 1.5 GBq perfusion, TNR was maximum for TheraSphere® at calibration time in segmentectomy/lobar technique, for SIR-Sphere® at 1-3 days post-calibration, and regarding QuiremSphere® at 3 days post-calibration. CONCLUSION This novel approach is a decisive step towards developing a personalized dosimetry framework for TARE. MIDOS assists in making clinical decisions in TARE treatment planning by assessing various delivery parameters and simulating different tumor uptakes. MIDOS offers evaluation of treatment outcomes, such as TNR and LSF, and quantitative scenario-specific decisions.

Clinical course of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who experienced radiologic complete response after radioembolization. Front Oncol 2024; 14:1349632. [PMID: 38352890 PMCID: PMC10861765 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1349632] [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: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to elucidate the patterns of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma and to analyze factors that can predict recurrence after complete response to radioembolization. Materials and methods A total of 289 consecutive patients who underwent radioembolization for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma at a single tertiary center were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline characteristics were collected and compared between the group showing complete response and the group showing noncomplete response. Data on recurrence status, time to recurrence, and the patterns of recurrence among the patients who showed radiologic complete response were collected. The group that maintained complete response and the group that experienced recurrence were compared, and the risk factors affecting recurrence were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Results The complete response rate was 24.9% (73/289). Age, sex, tumor markers, maximum tumor diameter, multiplicity, presence of vascular invasion, and target radiation dose were significantly different between the complete response and noncomplete response groups. The recurrence rate after complete response was 38.4% (28/73), and 67.9% (19/28) of recurrences occurred by 8 months after complete response. Eight patients who underwent resection/transplantation after complete response experienced no recurrence. Multiple tumors and a lower target radiation dose were independent risk factors of recurrence after complete response in the multivariate logistic regression. Conclusion Hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence following complete response after radioembolization is not uncommon and frequently occurs within 1 year after complete response. Multiple tumors and a lower target radiation dose may be risk factors for recurrence.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report efficiency of resin y90 delivery using SIROS via 175 cm TruSelect microcatheter with double-flush protocol (40 ml dextrose total). METHODS IRB-approved retrospective review of all patients undergoing SIROS injection of y90 Sir-Spheres via TruSelect from 2019 through 2022 at one quaternary-care academic institution, including medical records. RESULTS Included were 48 infusions in 25 patients across 11 cancer histologies. Mean planned, delivered, and residual activities were 28 ± 17, 27 ± 17, 1.1 ± 0.56 mCi respectively (mean residual 4.9% ± 2.8%) across flex-dosing precalibrations including 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day SIROS (4/51, 16/51, and 28/51). Mean liver treatment volume was 483 ± 306 ml with target dose mean of 128 ± 26 Gy in non-segmentectomy cases; Radiation segmentectomy was performed in 15/48 (31%). Arterial stasis was documented in 9/48 (19%) of cases. Use of a 3-day precalibrated SIROS dose, use of activity <10 mCi, treatment of smaller liver volumes (<200 ml) and documentation of stasis were associated with higher residual activity ( P = 0.025, P = 0.0007, P = 0.0177, and P = 0.049, respectively) were associated with higher residuals. CONCLUSION Combining the new technologies of SIROS and the Truselect microcatheter with a double-flush protocol yielded <10% residual in 94% of y90 infusions. Future studies may clarify if the predictors of high residual dose seen here may warrant microcatheter-specific considerations for dosimetry or dose preparation at the Radiopharmacy level.

Abstract
Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium-90 (90Y) microspheres has been widely adopted for the treatment of HCC. Recent advances in yttrium-90 (90Y) dosimetry have led to durable local responses. Radiation segmentectomy has become a viable alternative to thermal ablation for early-stage HCC (Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer 0 and A) and has been commonly used as a bridge to transplant. TARE is also commonly used for downstaging to transplant using traditional lobar dosimetry and radiation segmentectomy techniques. Radiation lobectomy has a dual role in local tumor control and induction of contralateral liver lobe hypertrophy as a bridge to resection for patients with an inadequate future liver remnant. TARE continues to provide disease control for patients with limited vascular invasion and may be an alternative to systemic therapy for patients with localized advanced disease. The potential synergy between TARE and immunotherapy has been recognized, and prospective studies evaluating this combination are needed for patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer B and C HCC.

Abstract
Background The size and function of the future liver remnant (FLR) is an essential consideration for both eligibility for treatment and postoperative prognosis when planning surgical hepatectomy. Over time, a variety of preoperative FLR augmentation techniques have been investigated, from the earliest portal vein embolization (PVE) to the more recent Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) and liver venous deprivation (LVD) procedures. Despite numerous publications on this topic, no bibliometric analysis has yet been conducted. Methods Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was searched to identify studies related to preoperative FLR augmentation techniques published from 1997 to 2022. The analysis was performed using the CiteSpace [version 6.1.R6 (64-bit)] and VOSviewer [version 1.6.19]. Results A total of 973 academic studies were published by 4431 authors from 920 institutions in 51 countries/regions. The University of Zurich was the most published institution while Japan was the most productive country. Eduardo de Santibanes had the most published articles, and Masato Nagino was the most frequently co-cited author. The most frequently published journal was HPB, and the most cited journal was Ann Surg, with 8088 citations. The main aspects of preoperative FLR augmentation technique is to enhance surgical technology, expand clinical indications, prevent and treat postoperative complications, ensure long-term survival, and evaluate the growth rate of FLR. Recently, hot keywords in this field include ALPPS, LVD, and Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy. Conclusion This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of preoperative FLR augmentation techniques, offering valuable insights and ideas for scholars in this field.

Abstract
Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with Y90 radioembolization segmentectomy (Y90-RE) demonstrates a tumor dose-response threshold, where dose estimates are highly dependent on accurate SPECT/CT acquisition, registration, and reconstruction. Any error can result in distorted absorbed dose distributions and inaccurate estimates of treatment success. This study improves upon the voxel-based dosimetry model, one of the most accurate methods available clinically, by using a deep convolutional network ensemble to account for the spatially variable uptake of Y90 within a treated lesion. A retrospective analysis was conducted in patients with HCC who received Y90-RE at a single institution. Seventy-seven patients with 103 lesions met the inclusion criteria: three or fewer tumors, pre- and post treatment MRI, and no prior Y90-RE. Lesions were labeled as complete (n = 57) or incomplete response (n = 46) based on 3-month post treatment MRI and divided by medical record number into a 20% hold-out test set and 80% training set with 5-fold cross-validation. Slice-wise predictions were made from an average ensemble of models and thresholds from the highest accuracy epochs across all five folds. Lesion predictions were made by thresholding all slice predictions through the lesion. When compared to the voxel-based dosimetry model, our model had a higher F1-score (0.72 vs. 0.2), higher accuracy (0.65 vs. 0.60), and higher sensitivity (1.0 vs. 0.11) at predicting complete treatment response. This algorithm has the potential to identify patients with treatment failure who may benefit from earlier follow-up or additional treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a multidisciplinary consensus for high quality multidisciplinary implementation of brachytherapy using Yttrium-90 (90Y) microspheres transarterial radioembolization (90Y TARE) for primary and metastatic cancers in the liver. METHODS AND MATERIALS Members of the American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) and colleagues with multidisciplinary expertise in liver tumor therapy formulated guidelines for 90Y TARE for unresectable primary liver malignancies and unresectable metastatic cancer to the liver. The consensus is provided on the most recent literature and clinical experience. RESULTS The ABS strongly recommends the use of 90Y microsphere brachytherapy for the definitive/palliative treatment of unresectable liver cancer when recommended by the multidisciplinary team. A quality management program must be implemented at the start of 90Y TARE program development and follow-up data should be tracked for efficacy and toxicity. Patient-specific dosimetry optimized for treatment intent is recommended when conducting 90Y TARE. Implementation in patients on systemic therapy should account for factors that may enhance treatment related toxicity without delaying treatment inappropriately. Further management and salvage therapy options including retreatment with 90Y TARE should be carefully considered. CONCLUSIONS ABS consensus for implementing a safe 90Y TARE program for liver cancer in the multidisciplinary setting is presented. It builds on previous guidelines to include recommendations for appropriate implementation based on current literature and practices in experienced centers. Practitioners and cooperative groups are encouraged to use this document as a guide to formulate their clinical practices and to adopt the most recent dose reporting policies that are critical for a unified outcome analysis of future effectiveness studies.

Abstract
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) management has evolved over the past two decades, with the development of newer treatment modalities. While various options are available, unmet needs are reflected through the mixed treatment outcome for intermediate-stage HCC. As HCC is radiosensitive, radiation therapies have a significant role in management. Radiation therapies offer local control for unresectable lesions and for patients who are not surgical candidates. Radiotherapy also provides palliation in metastatic disease, and acts as a bridge to resection and transplantation in selected patients. Advancements in radiotherapy modalities offer improved dose planning and targeted delivery, allowing for better tumor response and safer dose escalations while minimizing the risks of radiation-induced liver damage. Radiotherapy modalities are broadly classified into external beam radiation therapy and selective internal radiation therapy. With emerging modalities, radiotherapy plays a complementary role in the multidisciplinary care of HCC patients. Aim: We aim to provide an overview of the role and clinical application of radiation therapies in HCC management. Relevance for Patients: The continuous evolution of radiotherapy techniques allows for improved therapeutic outcomes while mitigating unwanted adverse effects, making it an attractive modality in HCC management. Rigorous clinical studies, quality research and comprehensive datasets will further its application in the present era of evidence-based practice in Medicine.

Abstract
Hepatic resection is the gold standard for patients affected by primary or metastatic liver tumors but is hampered by the risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure. Despite recent improvements, liver surgery still requires excellent clinical judgement in selecting patients for surgery and, above all, efficient pre-operative strategies to provide adequate future liver remnant. The aim of this article is to review the literature on the rational, the preliminary assessment, the advantages as well as the limits of each existing technique for preparing the liver for major hepatectomy.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary cancer of the liver and has an overall five-year survival rate of less than twenty percent. For patients with unresectable disease, evolving liver-directed locoregional therapies provide efficacious treatment across the spectrum of disease stages and via a variety of catheter-directed and percutaneous techniques. Goals of locoregional therapies in HCC may include curative intent in early-stage disease, bridging or downstaging to surgical resection or transplantation for early or intermediate-stage disease, and local disease control and palliation in advanced-stage disease. This review explores the outcomes of chemoembolization, bland embolization, radioembolization, and percutaneous ablative therapies. Attention is also given to prognostic factors related to each of the respective techniques, as well as future directions of locoregional therapies for HCC.

Conventional Hepatic Volumetry May Lead to Inaccurate Segmental Yttrium-90 Radiation Dosimetry. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2021; 44:1973-1985. [PMID: 34414494 DOI: 10.1007/s00270-021-02898-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2020] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare radioembolization treatment zone volumes from mapping cone beam CT (CBCT) versus planning CT/MRI and to model their impact on dosimetry. METHODS Y90 cases were retrospectively identified in which intra-procedural CBCT angiograms were performed. Segmental and lobar treatment zone volumes were calculated with semi-automated contouring using Couinaud venous anatomy (planning CT/MRI) or tumor angiosome enhancement (CBCT). Differences were compared with a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Treatment zone-specific differences in segmental volumes by volumetric method were also calculated and used to model differences in delivered dose using medical internal radiation dosimetry (MIRD) at 200 and 120 Gy targets. Anatomic, pathologic, and technical factors likely affecting segmental volumes by volumetric method were evaluated. RESULTS Forty segmental and 48 lobar CBCT angiograms and corresponding planning CT/MRI scans were included. Median Couinaud- and CBCT-derived segmental volumes were 281 and 243 mL, respectively (p = 0.005). Differences between Couinaud and CBCT lobar volumes (right, left) were not significant (p = 0.24, p = 0.07). Couinaud overestimated segmental volumes in 28 cases by a median of 98 mL (83%) and underestimated in 12 cases by median 69 mL (20%). At a 200 Gy dose target, Couinaud estimates produced median delivered doses of 367 and 160 Gy in these 28 and 12 cases. At a 120 Gy target, Couinaud produced doses of 220 and 96 Gy. Proximal vs. distal microcatheter positioning, variant arterial anatomy, and tumor location on or near segmental watersheds were leading factors linked to volumetric differences. CONCLUSION Use of CBCT-based volumetry may allow more accurate, personalized dosimetry for segmental Y90 radioembolization.

Treatment response assessment following transarterial radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2021; 46:3596-3614. [PMID: 33909092 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-021-03095-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Transarterial radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres is an established therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. Post-procedural imaging is important for the assessment of both treatment response and procedural complications. A variety of challenging treatment-specific imaging phenomena complicate imaging assessment, such as changes in tumoral size, tumoral and peritumoral enhancement, and extrahepatic complications. A review of the procedural steps, emerging variations, and timelines for post-treatment tumoral and extra-tumoral imaging changes are presented, which may aid the reporting radiologist in the interpretation of post-procedural imaging. Furthermore, a description of post-procedural complications and their significance is provided.

Abstract
PURPOSE A multidisciplinary expert panel convened to formulate state-of-the-art recommendations for optimisation of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with yttrium-90 (90Y)-resin microspheres. METHODS A steering committee of 23 international experts representing all participating specialties formulated recommendations for SIRT with 90Y-resin microspheres activity prescription and post-treatment dosimetry, based on literature searches and the responses to a 61-question survey that was completed by 43 leading experts (including the steering committee members). The survey was validated by the steering committee and completed anonymously. In a face-to-face meeting, the results of the survey were presented and discussed. Recommendations were derived and level of agreement defined (strong agreement ≥ 80%, moderate agreement 50%-79%, no agreement ≤ 49%). RESULTS Forty-seven recommendations were established, including guidance such as a multidisciplinary team should define treatment strategy and therapeutic intent (strong agreement); 3D imaging with CT and an angiography with cone-beam-CT, if available, and 99mTc-MAA SPECT/CT are recommended for extrahepatic/intrahepatic deposition assessment, treatment field definition and calculation of the 90Y-resin microspheres activity needed (moderate/strong agreement). A personalised approach, using dosimetry (partition model and/or voxel-based) is recommended for activity prescription, when either whole liver or selective, non-ablative or ablative SIRT is planned (strong agreement). A mean absorbed dose to non-tumoural liver of 40 Gy or less is considered safe (strong agreement). A minimum mean target-absorbed dose to tumour of 100-120 Gy is recommended for hepatocellular carcinoma, liver metastatic colorectal cancer and cholangiocarcinoma (moderate/strong agreement). Post-SIRT imaging for treatment verification with 90Y-PET/CT is recommended (strong agreement). Post-SIRT dosimetry is also recommended (strong agreement). CONCLUSION Practitioners are encouraged to work towards adoption of these recommendations.

Abstract
Metastatic liver disease is one of the major causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Locoregional therapies offered by interventional oncologists alleviate cancer-related morbidity and in some cases improve survival. Locoregional therapies are often palliative in nature but occasionally can be used with curative intent. This review will discuss important factors to consider prior to palliative and curative intent treatment of metastatic liver disease with locoregional therapy. These factors include those specific to the tumor, liver function, liver reserve, differences between treatment modalities, and patient-specific considerations.

Abstract
Locoregional therapies (lrts) play an important role in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc), with the aim of increasing overall survival while preserving liver function. Various forms of lrt are available, and choosing the best one depends on technical aspects, liver morphology, tumour biology, and the patient's symptoms. The purpose of the present review article is to provide an overview of the current evidence relating to the use of percutaneous ablation, transarterial chemoembolization, and transarterial radioembolization for the curative or palliative treatment of hcc. Special situations are also reviewed, including the combined use of systemic therapy and lrt, indications and techniques for bridging to transplant and downstaging, and the use of lrt to treat patients with hcc and macrovascular invasion.

Abstract
Primary malignant liver tumors are rare but all require surgical resection as part of therapy with curative intent. A minority of patients have resectable tumors at diagnosis. Chemotherapy has a therapeutic role in hepatoblastoma but only one-third of patients have resectable disease at diagnosis. Two children with hepatoblastoma and suboptimal responses to initial chemotherapy received therapy with transarterial radioembolization utilizing yttrium-90 (TARE-Y90) and had significant response leading to resection and remission. The role of TARE-Y90 needs to be studied further to define its use in primary pediatric liver neoplasms.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate safety and feasibility of improving radiation dose conformality via proximal radioembolization enabled by distal angiosomal truncation where selective administration was not practical. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hepatic malignancies treated via angiosomal truncation between January 2017 and March 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Thirty-three patients (8 women, 25 men; mean age, 62.2 y; range, 36-78 y) underwent 39 treatments. Of treatments, 74.3% (n = 29) were for hepatocellular carcinomas, 10.2% (n = 4) were for cholangiocarcinomas, and 15.4% (n = 6) were for metastatic tumors (1 colorectal adenocarcinoma, 1 pancreatic adenocarcinoma, 3 melanomas, and 1 endometroid carcinoma). Truncation was achieved using temporary embolic devices including a microvascular plug, detachable coil, gelatin slurry, and balloon microcatheter, after which proximal radioembolization was performed. Range of treatment activity was 0.47-5.75 GBq. Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin and bremsstrahlung single photon emission computed tomography (CT)/CT threshold analysis was conducted to delineate and compare distribution of activity within the treatment angiosome before and after radioembolization. RESULTS Dosimetric analysis of 14 patients demonstrated a significant reduction in nontarget liver radiation exposure at 5, 20, and 40% thresholds (P = .002, P = .001, and P = .008, respectively). There were no grade 3 or higher adverse events. There was no significant change in Albumin-Bilirubin grade and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (P = .09 and P = .74) before and 3 months after the procedure. Truncated arteries were patent on subsequent angiography in 11 cases and on MR angiography or CT angiography in 38 of 39 cases. CONCLUSIONS Proximal radioembolization enabled by distal angiosomal truncation is safe and decreases nontarget parenchymal radioembolization dose in cases not amenable to selective administration.

Abstract
Future liver remnant (FLR) size and function is a critical limiting factor for treatment eligibility and postoperative prognosis when considering surgical hepatectomy. Pre-operative portal vein embolization (PVE) has been proven effective in modulating FLR and now widely accepted as a standard of care. However, PVE is not always effective due to potentially inadequate augmentation of the FLR as well as tumor progression while awaiting liver growth. These concerns have prompted exploration of alternative techniques: associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS), transarterial embolization-portal vein embolization (TAE-PVE), liver venous deprivation (LVD), and radiation lobectomy (RL). The article aims to review the principles and applications of PVE and these newer hepatic regenerative techniques.
