Abstract
The incidence and mortality of cancer is ever-increasing, which poses a significant challengesto human health and a substantial economic burden to patients. At present, chemotherapy is still a primary treatment for various cancers. However, chemotherapy kills tumors but also induces the related side effects, whichadversely impacting patient quality of life and exacerbating suffering. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new and effective treatments that can control tumor growth while reducing the side effects for patients. Arterial chemoembolization has been attracted much attentionwhich attributed to the advantage of ability to embolize tumor vessels to block blood and nutrition supplies. Thus, to achieve local tumor control, it has become an effective means of local tumor control and has been widely used in clinical practice. Despite its efficacy, conventional arterial chemoembolization techniques, limited by embolization materials, have been associated with incomplete embolization and suboptimal drug delivery outcomes. Gradually, researchers have shifted their attention to a new type of embolic material called CalliSperes® drug-eluting embolic bead (DEB). DEB can not only load high doses of drugs, but also has strong sustained drug release ability and good biocompatibility. The integration of DEBs with traditional arterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) promises targeted vascular embolization, mitigated tumor ischemia and hypoxia, and direct intravascular chemotherapy delivery. It can prevent cancer cell differentiation and accelerate their death, meanwhile, directly injecting chemotherapy drugs into the target blood vessels reduced the blood concentration of the whole body, thus reduced the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy. Furthermore, DEB-TACE's sustained drug release capability elevates local drug concentrations at the tumor site, amplifying its antitumor efficacy. Therefore, DEB-TACE has become a hot spot in clinical research worldwide. This review introduces the pathogenesis of solid tumors, the background of research and biological characteristics of DEB, and the action mechanism of DEB-TACE, as well as its clinical research in various solid tumors and future prospects. This review aims to provide new ideas for the treatment of DEB-TACE in various solid tumors.

J Vasc Interv Radiol 2024; 35:516-522. [PMID: 38154745 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvir.2023.12.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the treatment response to transarterial chemotherapy followed by chemoembolization for locally recurrent breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-nine women with locally recurrent breast cancer after standard therapy underwent selective intra-arterial chemotherapy followed by embolization using drug-eluting microspheres for locally recurrent tumors and axillary lymph node metastases. Tumor response and toxicity were assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), and survival was evaluated by the Kaplan‒Meier method. RESULTS The local responses of breast tumors at 3 and 6 months were as follows: complete response, 5.1% and 7.2%; partial response, 35.9% and 67.8%; stable disease, 59.0% and 21.4%; and progressive disease, 0.0% and 3.6%, respectively. All adverse events were mild and did not require treatment. The median overall survival (OS) was 46.5 months, and the OS rates for 1 and 2 years were 81.4% and 69.2%, respectively. The size of recurrent tumors and axillary lymph node metastases did not impact prognosis, but both liver and bone metastases adversely affected survival. CONCLUSION Transarterial chemotherapy followed by chemoembolization may provide a favorable tumor response in patients with locally recurrent breast cancer in whom conventional therapy has failed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent malignancy, and transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has emerged as a pivotal therapeutic modality. However, TAE may induce symptom distress and fatigue, adversely affecting the quality of life of patients. AIM To investigate symptom distress, fatigue, and associated factors in HCC patients undergoing TAE. METHODS We used a cross-sectional design and purposive sampling to enroll HCC patients who underwent TAE at our institution from January to December 2022. Questionnaires were utilized to collect data on symptom distress and fatigue scores from the first to the third day after TAE. RESULTS Our study revealed a significant reduction in fatigue and symptom distress among patients after TAE. Pain, fatigue, insomnia, fever and abdominal distension were the most common symptoms troubling patients during the first 3 d post-TAE. Marital status, presence of family support, physical functional status, age, and symptom distress were identified as predictors of fatigue in patients. CONCLUSION Healthcare professionals should educate HCC patients on symptom distress and fatigue, offering personalized relief strategies to lessen their psychological burden.

Abstract
To investigate the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting bead-transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) combined with systemic chemotherapy in HR+/Her2- locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) patients. A controlled study was conducted on LABC patients treated at Jianyang People's Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College from December 2020 to June 2022. The patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group received DEB-TACE combined with the TAC regimen (175 mg/m2 paclitaxel-loaded albumin, 50 mg/m2 Doxorubicin, and 500 mg/m2 cyclophosphamide), while the control group received the TAC regimen intravenously. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated using the mRECIST criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 software, and baseline characteristics, overall response rate (ORR), pathological complete response (PCR), adverse reactions, and complications were compared between the two groups using paired t-test and chi-square test. A total of 60 patients were included, with 30 patients in the experimental group (50%) and 30 patients in the control group (50%). After the first treatment, the ORR was 90% in the experimental group and 60% in the control group (P < 0.05). The overall ORR was 100% in the experimental group and 83% in the control group (P < 0.05). PCR was achieved in 14 patients (47%) in the experimental group and 4 patients (13%) in the control group. The main adverse reactions in the experimental group were skin blistering, pigmentation, and pain. There was no statistically significant difference in vomiting and grade II or above bone marrow suppression between the two groups. No grade III or above adverse events occurred in either group. The comparison of tumor shrinkage between the two groups was P = 0.051, and axillary lymph node shrinkage was P < 0.05. The use of drug-eluting beads in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a feasible and safe treatment option for locally advanced breast cancer patients.

Efficacy of CalliSpheres® microspheres versus conventional transarterial chemoembolization in the treatment of refractory colorectal cancer liver metastasis. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:970. [PMID: 37828491 PMCID: PMC10568812 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11350-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE CalliSpheres® is a microsphere that is already widely used for primary liver cancer treatment; however, its application in colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) is limited. The current study aimed to investigate the efficacy of CalliSpheres® drug-eluting bead (DEB) transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) therapy versus (vs.) conventional cTACE therapy in treating refractory CRLM (RCRLM) patients. METHODS Twenty-two RCRLM patients who underwent CalliSpheres® DEB-TACE therapy (n = 11) or cTACE therapy (n = 11) were retrospectively analyzed. Data on clinical response, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were retrieved. RESULTS The objective response rate (36.4% vs. 18.2%, P = 0.338) and disease control rate (81.8% vs. 54.4%, P = 0.170) were both numerically (but not statistically) higher in the DEB-TACE group than in the cTACE group. Meanwhile, PFS was prolonged in the DEB-TACE group compared with the cTACE group [median: 12.0 (95% CI: 5.6-18.4) vs. 4.0 (95% CI: 0.9-7.1) months, P = 0.018]; OS was also longer in the DEB-TACE group compared with the cTACE group [median: 24.0 (95% CI: 18.3-29.7) vs. 14.0 (95% CI: 7.1-20.9) months, P = 0.040]. In addition, after adjustment by multivariate Cox analyses, DEB-TACE was superior to cTACE independently regarding PFS (HR: 0.110, 95% CI: 0.026-0.463, P = 0.003) and OS (HR: 0.126, 95% CI: 0.028-0.559, P = 0.006). CONCLUSION CalliSpheres® DEB-TACE therapy may prolong survival profile than cTACE therapy in RCRLM patients, while further validation is still needed.

Abstract
Objective Transcatheter-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a well-established interventional technique for various tumor treatments, whereas its application in renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) is seldom reported. Conventional TACE (cTACE) with bleomycin-lipiodol emulsion is effective and tolerable for RAML treatment. In this study, we aimed to further explore the efficacy and safety between bleomycin-loaded CalliSpheres® microsphere TACE (CSM-TACE) and cTACE in treating RAML patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 54 RAML patients treated by CSM-TACE (n = 17) or cTACE (n = 37). Data on tumor size, tumor volume reduction ratio, patient percentage with tumor size reduction, white blood cells (WBCs), creatinine (Cre) after treatment, complications, and adverse events were retrieved. Results Tumor size (88.66 vs. 81.19 cm3, P = 0.970), patient percentage with tumor size reduction (12 [70.59%] vs. 30 [81.08%], P = 0.486) after treatment, WBCs (P = 0.114), Cre (P = 0.659), and change in Cre after treatment (P = 0.947) were not significantly different between groups, whereas tumor volume reduction ratio was slightly lower in the CSM-TACE group than in the cTACE group (12 ± 34% vs. 32 ± 31%, P = 0.047). The most common postoperative complication was a post-embolization syndrome, including fever, nausea, and abdominal pain, which occurred in 9 (52.94%) and 14 (37.84%) patients from the CSM-TACE and cTACE groups, respectively (P = 0.347). Conclusion CSM-TACE is effective in and well tolerated by RAML patients, implying its potential as an alternative therapy.

Abstract
Objective Transarterial chemoembolization with CalliSpheres® Microspheres (CSM-TACE) presents favorable efficacy and tolerable safety in several cancers, while its application in head and neck cancer (HNC) is unclear. Thus, the current pilot study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CSM-TACE in treating HNC. Methods A total of 15 HNC patients receiving CSM-TACE at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from March 2017 to December 2021 were enrolled in this study. Moreover, treatment information, treatment response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), changes in liver and renal function indices, and adverse events were recorded. Results There were nine patients receiving CSM-TACE as first-line treatment and six patients receiving CSM-TACE as second- or above-line treatment; meanwhile, there were seven, seven, and one patient undergoing one time, two times, and three times of CSM-TACE, respectively. Furthermore, the objective response rate (ORR) and the disease control rate (DCR) were 60.0% and 100%, respectively, at the first month; meanwhile, the ORR and the DCR were 53.3% and 73.3%, respectively, at the second month. Moreover, the 1-year PFS rate was 34.1%, and the 1-year OS rate was 38.9%. Additionally, no change in liver function indices (namely, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase) or in renal function indices (namely, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen) was found before and 1 month after treatment (all P > 0.05). Meanwhile, no severe adverse events were found during and after CSM-TACE. Conclusion CSM-TACE illustrates favorable treatment response and survival benefits as well as a tolerable safety profile in HNC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of chemoembolization with drug-eluting embolic (DEE) microspheres in patients with recurrent and advanced head and neck cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 32 patients (mean age, 57.2 ± 2.8 years; 17 women) with recurrent (n=16) and advanced (n=16) head and neck cancer were treated with chemoembolization with DEE microspheres loaded with doxorubicin. Treatment response, overall survival, local progression-free survival, and adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS At six months after the procedure, the objective response and disease control rates were 25% and 69%, respectively. The median overall survival and local progression-free survival were 14.5 and 13.6 months, respectively. Seven patients (22%) experienced adverse events after the chemoembolization procedure. All adverse events were related to post-embolization syndrome, including vomiting and nausea (n=1), pyrexia (n=2) and localized pain (n=7). No severe adverse events or procedure-related deaths were observed. CONCLUSION Chemoembolization with DEE microspheres was safe and tolerable in patients with recurrent and advanced head and neck cancer.

Abstract
Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is generally treated with combined-modality therapy including systemic chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy due to its nature of rapid onset of metastatic disease and poor prognosis. In this case report, we present a 61-year-old female who suffered from a huge protruding breast mass (16.2cm) with superficial ulcerative wound noted for three months. LABC was diagnosed via core needle biopsy and PET-CT examination. Initially, she received combined systemic chemotherapy, hormone therapy and radiation therapy; however, severe necrosis caused rupture in part of the breast mass and extensive wound discharge resulting in difficulty in wound care and prolonged disease course. Trans-arterial chemoembolization with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) was applied as a part of combined-modality therapy for shortening the time before surgery. HepaSphere (as one of the DEB) loaded with high dose of epirubicin (total 80mg) was infused intra-arterially due to the nature of slow-releasing effect and longer duration of ischemic effect. Shortly after DEB-TACE following in about 40 days, surgery was smoothly performed. Post-operative adjuvant target therapy and adjuvant chemotherapy with taxane were administered. There was no evidence of local recurrence or distal metastases after 9 months of follow-up. It is suggested that performing DEB-TACE prior to surgery becomes a part of multimodality treatment of LABC to achieve better local control, better wound care and shortened treatment course.

Abstract
Background We aimed to explore the efficacy and tolerance of drug-eluting beads bronchial arterial chemoembolization (DEB-BACE) treatment in relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Methods Eleven relapsed/refractory SCLC patients were enrolled and treated with DEB-BACE. Then, treatment response and tumor marker levels were assessed at the first, second and sixth month post treatment. Quality of life was assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30 scale. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were also evaluated. Results At the first, second and sixth month post treatment, the objective response rates were 63.6%, 54.5%, and 36.4%, respectively; and the disease control rates were 90.9%, 90.9% and 54.5%, respectively. In addition, the neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and progastrin-releasing peptide levels were reduced at the second and sixth month. Quality of life assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 scale, which included subscales of general health status, functional domains, symptom domains, and single domains except for financial difficulty, was markedly improved at second month post treatment. Median values of PFS and OS were 5.1 (95% CI: 4.1–5.9) months and 9.0 (95% CI: 6.0–12.0) months, respectively. The ECOG score and preoperative NSE level were independent predictive factors for PFS, and age as well as lesion location were independent predictive factors for OS. Adverse events were all mild and manageable with chest pain and chest stuffiness the most common ones. Conclusion DEB-BACE could be a therapeutic option for relapsed/refractory SCLC patients regarding its favorable treatment response, quality of life, survival benefit and safety profile.

Which Is the Most Appropriate PI3K Inhibitor for Breast Cancer Patients with or without PIK3CA Status Mutant? A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:7451576. [PMID: 33376736 PMCID: PMC7739049 DOI: 10.1155/2020/7451576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2020] [Revised: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Objective The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway is a promising treatment target for patients with breast cancer (BC). Our study aimed to evaluate the most effective and safe PI3K inhibitor for patients with BC, especially in PIK3CA mutation. Methods Electronics databases were systematically searched from their inception to June 2020 for published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing PI3K inhibitor therapy versus non-PI3K inhibitor therapy in patients with BC that mentioned or reported data of PIK3CA-mutated patient subgroups. Eligible RCTs had to report at least one of the following clinical outcomes: objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), or adverse events (AE). Results Nine eligible RCTs involving 3872 BC patients and four PI3K inhibitor therapy arms (i.e., alpelisib, buparlisib, pictilisib, and taselisib) were included. In evaluating ORR, beneficial significant results of PI3K inhibitors could be found in the PIK3CA mutated group (1.952, 1.012 to 3.766); analogous results could also be found in 6m-PFS (1.519, 1.144 to 2.018) and PFS from HR data (-0.346, -0.525 to -0.168). From pairwise and network meta-analyses, buparlisib showed the most favorable ORR, as it was significantly different from fulvestrant in the PIK3CA-mutated patient group (2.80, 1.56 to 5.03). Alpelisib ranked first in the assessment of 6m-PFS and was significantly different from fulvestrant in the PIK3CA-mutated group (2.33, 1.45 to 3.44). The above PI3K inhibitors had good safety with few serious AEs. PROSPERO registration CRD42020193932. Conclusion The PI3K inhibitors alpelisib and buparlisib appear to have superior efficacy and safety therapeutic choices for patients with BC, especially in PIK3CA-mutated patients.
