[PMID: 38985849 DOI: 10.1093/oncolo/oyae128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluating transarterial radioembolization (TARE) in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma of the liver who have progressed on first-line chemotherapy (EPOCH) demonstrated superior outcomes using yttrium-90 glass microspheres plus chemotherapy (TARE/Chemo) vs chemotherapy (Chemo) to treat colorectal liver metastases. Additional exploratory analyses were undertaken to assess the impact of TARE/Chemo on efficacy, safety, time to subsequent therapy, time to deterioration in quality of life (QoL), and identify criteria for improved patient selection. METHODS Time to deterioration in QoL was analyzed for the primary study population. Subsequently, a post hoc analysis was undertaken to identify subgroups for which time to deterioration in QoL was improved with TARE/Chemo vs Chemo. Progression-free survival (PFS), hepatic (h)PFS, time to subsequent therapy, and safety outcomes were compared between treatments. RESULTS The primary population showed no significant difference in time to deterioration in QoL between treatment arms; however, significance was seen in 2 identified subgroups, namely: Subgroup A (N = 303) which excluded patients with both Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 1 and baseline CEA ≥ 35 ng/mL from both treatment arms; subgroup B (N = 168) additionally excluded patients with KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma) mutation. In subgroup A, TARE/Chemo patients (N = 143) demonstrated superior outcomes vs Chemo (N = 160): PFS (9.4 vs. 7.6 months, hazard ratio (HR): 0.64; 1-sided P = .0020), hPFS (10.8 vs. 7.6 months, HR: 0.53; 1-sided P < .0001), time to deterioration in QoL (5.7 vs. 3.9 months, HR: 0.65; 1-sided P = .0063), and time to subsequent therapy (21.2 vs. 10.5 months, HR: 0.52; 1-sided P < .0001). Subgroup B patients showed similar but larger significant differences between treatment arms. Median PFS, hPFS, and time to deterioration in QoL were numerically greater for TARE/Chemo in both subgroups vs the primary population, with the greatest magnitude of difference in subgroup B. Both subgroups exhibited higher percentage of CEA responders and improved ORR with TARE/Chemo vs chemo alone. Safety (reported as event rate/100 patient-years) was higher with Chemo in all populations. Additional efficacy analyses in the primary population are also reported. CONCLUSIONS Careful patient selection, including consideration of the prognostic factors ECOG, baseline CEA, and KRAS status, sets outcome expectations in patients with colorectal liver metastases suitable for TARE/Chemo as second-line treatment (Trial Registry Number: NCT01483027).

Histopathologic Changes after Yttrium-90 Radioembolization of Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Pilot Feasibility Study. J Vasc Interv Radiol 2024; 35:1012-1021.e1. [PMID: 38670528 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvir.2024.04.010] [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: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the histopathologic changes and potential correlations of tumor absorbed dose (TAD) after yttrium-90 transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for colorectal liver metastases (CLMs). MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective pilot study assessed 12 patients with 13 CLMs through positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsies before, immediately after TARE (T0), and 3 weeks after TARE (T3). Subsequent sampling from the same location was enabled by fiducial placement. Biopsy samples were evaluated with hematoxylin and eosin, TUNEL, Ki67, OxPhos, caspase-3 (CC3), and pH2AX antibodies. Proliferation changes (Ki67) and double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) were evaluated quantitatively. TAD was calculated on post-TARE PET/CT scan of the biopsy needle location at T0 and T3. RESULTS Median TAD at 3 weeks after TARE was 162 Gy (interquartile range (IQR), 92-211 Gy). DSBs decreased significantly from T0 (median, 77%; IQR, 75%-100%) to T3 (median, 14%; IQR, 0%-54%; P = .028). A decrease in Ki67 was also documented (median, 73%; IQR, 70%-80% at T0 vs median, 41%; IQR, 0%-66% at T3; P = .046). There was a strong positive correlation between TAD and DSBs at T0 (r[9] = 0.68) and a strong negative correlation at T3 (r[10] = -0.855; P = .042 and P = .002, respectively). There was a strong negative correlation between TAD and Ki67 at both T0 (r[9] = -0.733; P = .025) and T3 (r[10] = -0.681; P = .030). Tumors that exhibited caspase-3 activation (8/13, 62%) at either T0 or T3 time point were more likely to develop progression (7/8 [88%] vs 1/5 [20%]; P = .015). CONCLUSIONS Post-TARE biopsy can be used to assess TAD and histopathologic changes. Significant decreases in DSBs and proliferation index were noted after TARE. Post-TARE CC3 activation deserves further exploration.

Abstract
PURPOSE Strategies for the treatment of liver metastases from colon cancer (lmCRC) are constantly evolving. Radioembolization with yttrium 90 (Y-90 TARE) has made significant advancements in treating liver tumors and is now considered a potential option allowing for future resection. This study reviewed the scientific evidence and developed recommendations for using Y-90 TARE as a treatment strategy for patients with unresectable lmCRC. METHODS A multidisciplinary scientific committee, consisting of experts in medical oncology, hepatobiliary surgery, radiology, and nuclear medicine, all with extensive experience in treating patients with ImCRC with Y-90 TARE, led this project. The committee established the criteria for conducting a comprehensive literature review on Y-90 TARE in the treatment of lmCRC. The data extraction process involved addressing initial preliminary inquiries, which were consolidated into a final set of questions. RESULTS This review offers recommendations for treating patients with lmCRC using Y-90 TARE, addressing four areas covering ten common questions: 1) General issues (multidisciplinary tumor committee, indications for treatment, contraindications); 2) Previous process (predictive biomarkers for patient selection, preintervention tests, published evidence); 3) Procedure (standard procedure); and 4) Post-intervention follow-up (potential toxicity and its management, parameters for evaluation, quality of life). CONCLUSIONS Based on the insights of the multidisciplinary committee, this document offers a comprehensive overview of the technical aspects involved in the management of Y-90 TARE. It synthesizes recommendations for applying Y-90 TARE across various phases of the treatment process.

Abstract
Molecular radiotherapy is the use of systemically administered unsealed radioactive sources to treat cancer. Theragnostics is the term used to describe paired radiopharmaceuticals localising to a specific target, one optimised for imaging, the other for therapy. For many decades, molecular radiotherapy has developed empirically. Standard administered activity schedules have been used without the prior estimation of the resulting tumour radiation absorbed dose by theragnostic imaging, or its subsequent measurement by serial scanning. This pragmatic approach has benefited many patients, however others who should have benefited have failed to do so as the radiation absorbed dose in the tumour was suboptimal. The accurate prediction and measurement of tumour and organ at risk radiation absorbed doses allows treatment to be personalised, and offers the prospect of improved clinical outcomes. To deliver this for all molecular radiotherapy patients would require not only a significant financial investment in equipment and skilled personnel, but also a change in attitude of those who believe that simple - or simplistic - schedules are easier to deliver, and that accurate dosimetry is too much trouble. Further clinical studies are required to demonstrate beyond doubt that the advantages of individualised treatment planning outweigh the inconvenience, and that the expense is justified by enhanced results.

Efficacy and Safety of Trans-Arterial Yttrium-90 Radioembolization in Patients with Unresectable Liver-Dominant Metastatic or Primary Hepatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14020324. [PMID: 35053486 PMCID: PMC8774147 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14020324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2021] [Revised: 12/31/2021] [Accepted: 01/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Sarcomas of the liver are a rare and aggressive group of malignancies for which surgery is the preferred treatment modality even though most patients are not surgical candidates and receive chemotherapy with poor outcomes. In these cases, trans-arterial liver-directed therapies are emerging as a new treatment option. Among these, radioembolization is a promising but understudied treatment option. In radioembolization, microbeads conjugated to a radioactive drug are injected into the blood vessels, nourishing the cancers and leading to cell death and tumor shrinkage. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed 35 patients with liver sarcomas receiving radioembolization at our institution. We found that those with disease control in the liver 6 months after the procedure had longer overall survival as well as patients with a liver progression-free interval post-procedure equal to or greater than 9 months. Patients with good performance status and normal liver function at baseline also had longer survival. The most common adverse reactions were nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain, and mild reversible abnormalities in liver function tests. Overall, our results suggest that radioembolization might be a safe and effective treatment option for patients with unresectable liver sarcomas. Abstract Patients with liver-dominant metastatic or primary hepatic soft tissue sarcomas (STS) have poor prognosis. Surgery can prolong survival, but most patients are not surgical candidates, and treatment response is limited with systemic chemotherapy. Liver-directed therapies have been increasingly employed in this setting, and Yttrium-90 trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) is an understudied yet promising treatment option. This is a retrospective analysis of 35 patients with metastatic or primary hepatic STS who underwent TARE at a single institution between 2006 and 2020. The primary outcomes that were measured were overall survival (OS), liver progression-free survival (LPFS), and radiologic tumor response. Clinical and biochemical toxicities were assessed 3 months after the procedure. Median OS was 20 months (95% CI: 13.9–26.1 months), while median LPFS was 9 months (95% CI: 6.2–11.8 months). The objective response rate was 56.7%, and the disease control rate was 80.0% by mRECIST at 3 months. The following correlated with better OS post-TARE: liver disease control (DC) at 6 months (median OS: 40 vs. 17 months, p = 0.007); LPFS ≥ 9 months (median OS: 50 vs. 8 months, p < 0.0001); ECOG status 0–1 vs. 2 (median OS: 22 vs. 6 months, p = 0.042); CTP class A vs. B (median OS: 22 vs. 6 months, p = 0.018); and TACE post-progression (median OS: 99 vs. 16 months, p = 0.003). The absence of metastases at diagnosis was correlated with higher median LPFS (7 vs. 1 months, p = 0.036). Two grade 4 (5.7%) and ten grade 3 (28.6%) laboratory toxicities were identified at 3 months. There was one case of radioembolization-induced liver disease and two cases of radiation-induced peptic ulcer disease. We concluded that TARE could be an effective and safe treatment option for patients with metastatic or primary hepatic STS with good tumor response rates, low incidence of severe toxicity, and longer survival in patients with liver disease control post-TARE.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the impact of transarterial Yttrium-90 radioembolization (TARE) in combination with second-line systemic chemotherapy for colorectal liver metastases (CLM). METHODS In this international, multicenter, open-label phase III trial, patients with CLM who progressed on oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-based first-line therapy were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive second-line chemotherapy with or without TARE. The two primary end points were progression-free survival (PFS) and hepatic PFS (hPFS), assessed by blinded independent central review. Random assignment was performed using a web- or voice-based system stratified by unilobar or bilobar disease, oxaliplatin- or irinotecan-based first-line chemotherapy, and KRAS mutation status. RESULTS Four hundred twenty-eight patients from 95 centers in North America, Europe, and Asia were randomly assigned to chemotherapy with or without TARE; this represents the intention-to-treat population and included 215 patients in the TARE plus chemotherapy group and 213 patients in the chemotherapy alone group. The hazard ratio (HR) for PFS was 0.69 (95% CI, 0.54 to 0.88; 1-sided P = .0013), with a median PFS of 8.0 (95% CI, 7.2 to 9.2) and 7.2 (95% CI, 5.7 to 7.6) months, respectively. The HR for hPFS was 0.59 (95% CI, 0.46 to 0.77; 1-sided P < .0001), with a median hPFS of 9.1 (95% CI, 7.8 to 9.7) and 7.2 (95% CI, 5.7 to 7.6) months, respectively. Objective response rates were 34.0% (95% CI, 28.0 to 40.5) and 21.1% (95% CI, 16.2 to 27.1; 1-sided P = .0019) for the TARE and chemotherapy groups, respectively. Median overall survival was 14.0 (95% CI, 11.8 to 15.5) and 14.4 months (95% CI, 12.8 to 16.4; 1-sided P = .7229) with a HR of 1.07 (95% CI, 0.86 to 1.32) for TARE and chemotherapy groups, respectively. Grade 3 adverse events were reported more frequently with TARE (68.4% v 49.3%). Both groups received full chemotherapy dose intensity. CONCLUSION The addition of TARE to systemic therapy for second-line CLM led to longer PFS and hPFS. Further subset analyses are needed to better define the ideal patient population that would benefit from TARE.

Abstract
Cancer has become the leading cause of mortality in America, and the majority of patients eventually develop hepatic metastasis. As liver metastases are frequently unresectable, the value of liver-directed therapies, such as transarterial radioembolization (TARE), has become increasingly recognized as an integral component of patient management. Outcomes after radioembolization of hepatic malignancies vary not only by location of primary malignancy but also by tumor histopathology. This article reviews the outcomes of TARE for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic breast cancer, and metastatic neuroendocrine tumors, as well as special considerations when treating metastatic disease with TARE.

Role of Resin Microsphere Y90 Dosimetry in Predicting Objective Tumor Response, Survival and Treatment Related Toxicity in Surgically Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastasis: A Retrospective Single Institution Study. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13194908. [PMID: 34638392 PMCID: PMC8508412 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13194908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Colorectal liver metastases are difficult to treat, with only a minority of patients eligible for surgical resection. Yttrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy is an alternative treatment currently used for patients who have progressed on chemotherapy. A technique called dosimetry allows clinicians to analyze how much radiation was delivered to target lesions post-treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of various dosimetric parameters with objective tumor response, overall survival, and treatment related toxicity with the potential goal of optimizing Yttrium-90 treatment in this patient population. Additionally, other potential predictors of survival outcomes, including clinical and demographic factors, were also evaluated. We found that delivering a mean tumor dose ≥100 Gy when using resin microspheres was significantly associated with objective tumor response and prolonged overall survival. In this study, no mean non-tumoral liver dose threshold was found to predict treatment related toxicity. Abstract Purpose: To Evaluate the correlation between tumor dosimetric parameters with objective tumor response (OR) and overall survival (OS) in patients with surgically unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) undergoing resin-based Ytrrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy (Y90 SIRT). Materials and Methods: 45 consecutive patients with CRLM underwent resin-based Y90 SIRT in one or both hepatic lobes (66 treated lobes total). Dose volume histograms were created with MIM Sureplan® v.6.9 using post-treatment SPECT/CT. Dosimetry analyses were based on the cumulative volume of the five largest tumors in each treatment session and non-tumoral liver (NTL) dose. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate tumor dosimetric factors in predicting OR by Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors at 3 months post-Y90. Additionally, ROC curve was used to evaluate non-tumoral liver dose as a predictor of grade ≥ 3 liver toxicity and radioembolization induced liver disease (REILD) 3 months post Y90. To minimize for potential confounding demographic and clinical factors, univariate and multivariate analysis of survival with mean tumor dose as one of the factors were also performed. Kaplan-Meier estimation was used for OS analysis from initial Y90 SIRT. Results: 26 out of 45 patients had OR with a median OS of 17.2 months versus 6.8 months for patients without OR (p < 0.001). Mean tumor dose (TD) of the five largest tumors was the strongest predictor of OR with an area under the curve of 0.73 (p < 0.001). Minimum TD, and TD to 30%, 50%, and 70% of tumor volume also predicted OR (p’s < 0.05). Mean TD ≥ 100 Gy predicted a significantly prolonged median OS of 19 vs. 11 months for those receiving TD < 100 Gy (p = 0.016). On univariate analysis, mean TD < 100 Gy, presence of any genomic mutation, presence of MAPK pathway mutation, bilobar hepatic metastases and diffuse metastatic disease (>10 lesions per liver lobe) were found to be predictors of shorter median OS. On multivariate analysis, mean TD < 100 Gy, presence of any genomic mutation, and diffuse hepatic metastatic disease were found to be independent predictors of shorter OS. Overall, six (13.3%) patients developed grade ≥ 3 liver toxicity post Y90 of whom two (4.4%) patients developed REILD. No dose threshold predicting grade ≥ 3 liver toxicity or REILD was identified. Conclusions: Mean TD ≥ 100 Gy in patients with unresectable CRLM undergoing resin-based Y90 SIRT predicts OR and prolonged OS.

Abstract
Secondary cancers of the liver are more than twenty times more common than primary tumors and are incurable in most cases. While surgical resection and systemic chemotherapy are often the first-line therapy for metastatic liver disease, a majority of patients present with bilobar disease not amenable to curative local resection. Furthermore, by the time metastasis to the liver has developed, many tumors demonstrate a degree of resistance to systemic chemotherapy. Fortunately, catheter-directed and percutaneous locoregional approaches have evolved as major treatment modalities for unresectable metastatic disease. These novel techniques can be used for diverse applications ranging from curative intent for small localized tumors, downstaging of large tumors for resection, or locoregional control and palliation of advanced disease. Their use has been associated with increased tumor response, increased disease-free and overall survival, and decreased morbidity and mortality in a broad range of metastatic disease. This review explores recent advances in liver-directed therapies for metastatic liver disease from primary colorectal, neuroendocrine, breast, and lung cancer, as well as uveal melanoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and sarcoma. Therapies discussed include bland transarterial embolization, chemoembolization, radioembolization, and ablative therapies, with a focus on current treatment approaches, outcomes of locoregional therapy, and future directions in each type of metastatic disease.

Bioactive glasses
(BGs) for biomedical applications are doped with
therapeutic inorganic ions (TIIs) in order to improve their performance
and reduce the side effects related to the surgical implant. Recent
literature in the field shows a rekindled interest toward rare earth
elements, in particular cerium, and their catalytic properties. Cerium-doped
bioactive glasses (Ce-BGs) differ in compositions, synthetic methods,
features, and in vitro assessment. This review provides
an overview on the recent development of Ce-BGs for biomedical applications
and on the evaluation of their bioactivity, cytocompatibility, antibacterial,
antioxidant, and osteogenic and angiogenic properties as a function
of their composition and physicochemical parameters.

Abstract
Simple Summary Colorectal cancer liver metastasis occurs in more than 50% of patients with colorectal cancer and is thought to be the most common cause of death from this cancer. The mainstay of treatment for inoperable liver metastasis has been combination systemic chemotherapy with or without the addition of biological targeted therapy with a goal for disease downstaging, for potential curative resection, or more frequently, for disease control. For patients with dominant liver metastatic disease or limited extrahepatic disease, liver-directed intra-arterial therapies including hepatic arterial chemotherapy infusion, chemoembolization and radioembolization are alternative treatment strategies that have shown promising results, most commonly in the salvage setting in patients with chemo-refractory disease. In recent years, their role in the first-line setting in conjunction with concurrent systemic chemotherapy has also been explored. This review aims to provide an update on the current evidence regarding liver-directed intra-arterial treatment strategies and to discuss potential trends for the future. Abstract The liver is frequently the most common site of metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer, occurring in more than 50% of patients. While surgical resection remains the only potential curative option, it is only eligible in 15–20% of patients at presentation. In the past two decades, major advances in modern chemotherapy and personalized biological agents have improved overall survival in patients with unresectable liver metastasis. For patients with dominant liver metastatic disease or limited extrahepatic disease, liver-directed intra-arterial therapies such as hepatic arterial chemotherapy infusion, chemoembolization and radioembolization are treatment strategies which are increasingly being considered to improve local tumor response and to reduce systemic side effects. Currently, these therapies are mostly used in the salvage setting in patients with chemo-refractory disease. However, their use in the first-line setting in conjunction with systemic chemotherapy as well as to a lesser degree, in a neoadjuvant setting, for downstaging to resection have also been investigated. Furthermore, some clinicians have considered these therapies as a temporizing tool for local disease control in patients undergoing a chemotherapy ‘holiday’ or acting as a bridge in patients between different lines of systemic treatment. This review aims to provide an update on the current evidence regarding liver-directed intra-arterial treatment strategies and to discuss potential trends for the future.

Abstract
The fight against cancer is an old challenge for mankind. Apart from surgery and chemotherapy, which are the most common treatments, use of radiation represents a promising, less invasive strategy that can be performed both from the outside or inside the body. The latter approach, also known as brachytherapy, relies on the use of implantable beta-emitting seeds or microspheres for killing cancer cells. A set of radioactive glasses have been developed for this purpose but their clinical use is still mainly limited to liver cancer. This review paper provides a picture of the biomedical glasses developed and experimented for brachytherapy so far, focusing the discussion on the production methods and current limitations of the available options to their diffusion in clinical practice. Highly-durable neutron-activatable glasses in the yttria-alumina-silica oxide system are typically preferred in order to avoid the potentially-dangerous release of radioisotopes, while the compositional design of degradable glass systems suitable for use in radiotherapy still remains a challenge and would deserve further investigation in the near future.

Abstract
Modern systemic therapies provide a significant survival benefit in metastatic colorectal cancer. Despite these advances, the durability of response remains limited and nearly all patients progress on systemic treatment. Colorectal liver metastases (CLM) develop in approximately half of patients with metastatic disease and contribute to mortality in most patients. In selected patients, surgical resection of hepatic metastases prolongs survival, indicating the benefits of the targeted treatment of CLM through alternate means. Minimally invasive interventional treatments offer the promise of treating CLM in a wider range of patients than those eligible for surgical resection. Thermal ablation and intra-arterial therapies, including chemoembolization and radioembolization, are commonly used in the treatment of CLM. Each of these treatment modalities will be discussed in detail with an emphasis on the available clinical data for each interventional treatment for CLM.

Abstract
Purpose To address the lack of prospective data on the real-life clinical application of trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) in Europe, the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) initiated the prospective observational study CIRSE Registry for SIR-Spheres® Therapy (CIRT). Materials and Methods Patients were enrolled from 1 January 2015 till 31 December 2017. Eligible patients were adult patients treated with TARE with Y90 resin microspheres for primary or metastatic liver tumours. Patients were followed up for 24 months after treatment, whereas data on the clinical context of TARE, overall survival (OS) and safety were collected. Results Totally, 1027 patients were analysed. 68.2% of the intention of treatment was palliative. Up to half of the patients received systemic therapy and/or locoregional treatments prior to TARE (53.1%; 38.3%). Median overall survival (OS) was reported per cohort and was 16.5 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 14.2–19.3) for hepatocellular carcinoma, 14.6 months (95% CI 10.9–17.9) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. For liver metastases, median OS for colorectal cancer was 9.8 months (95% CI 8.3–12.9), 5.6 months for pancreatic cancer (95% CI 4.1–6.6), 10.6 months (95% CI 7.3–14.4) for breast cancer, 14.6 months (95% CI 7.3–21.4) for melanoma and 33.1 months (95% CI 22.1–nr) for neuroendocrine tumours. Statistically significant prognostic factors in terms of OS include the presence of ascites, cirrhosis, extra-hepatic disease, patient performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group), number of chemotherapy lines prior to TARE and tumour burden. Thirty-day mortality rate was 1.0%. 2.5% experienced adverse events grade 3 or 4 within 30 days after TARE. Conclusion In the real-life clinical setting, TARE is largely considered to be a part of a palliative treatment strategy across indications and provides an excellent safety profile.

Abstract
The morbidity, mortality, and burden of burn victims and patients with severe diabetic wounds are still high, which leads to an extensively growing demand for novel treatments with high clinical efficacy. Biomaterial-based wound treatment approaches have progressed over time from simple cotton wool dressings to advanced skin substitutes containing cells and growth factors; however, no wound care approach is yet completely satisfying. Bioactive glasses are materials with potential in many areas that exhibit unique features in biomedical applications. Today, bioactive glasses are not only amorphous solid structures that can be used as a substitute in hard tissue but also are promising materials for soft tissue regeneration and wound healing applications. Biologically active elements such as Ag, B, Ca, Ce, Co, Cu, Ga, Mg, Se, Sr, and Zn can be incorporated in glass networks; hence, the superiority of these multifunctional materials over current materials results from their ability to release multiple therapeutic ions in the wound environment, which target different stages of the wound healing process. Bioactive glasses and their dissolution products have high potency for inducing angiogenesis and exerting several biological impacts on cell functions, which are involved in wound healing and some other features that are valuable in wound healing applications, namely hemostatic and antibacterial properties. In this review, we focus on skin structure, the dynamic process of wound healing in injured skin, and existing wound care approaches. The basic concepts of bioactive glasses are reviewed to better understand the relationship between glass structure and its properties. We illustrate the active role of bioactive glasses in wound repair and regeneration. Finally, research studies that have used bioactive glasses in wound healing applications are summarized and the future trends in this field are elaborated.

Abstract
Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with Yttrium-90 (90Y) microspheres is a liver-directed therapy for primary and metastatic disease. This manuscript provides a review of the clinical literature on TARE indications and efficacy with overviews of patient-selection and toxicity. Current dosimetry models used in practice are safe, relatively simple, and easy for clinicians to use. Planning currently relies on the imperfect surrogate, 99mTc macroaggregated albumin. Post-therapy quantitative imaging (90Y SPECT/CT or 90Y PET/CT) of microspheres can be used to calculate the macroscopic in vivo absorbed dose distribution. Similar to the evolution of other brachytherapy dose calculations, TARE is moving toward more patient-specific dosimetry that includes calculating and reporting nonuniform dose distributions throughout tumors and normal uninvolved liver.

AIM European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines (NCCN) have recently included interventional procedures among the standard treatments for the management of colorectal cancer (CRC) oligometastatic disease (OMD). This study overviews the practice of Interventional Radiology (IR) in Italian centers. METHODS A practice focused questionnaire on locoregional treatments of CRC-OMD was submitted to all Italian IR centers to assess practice patterns. RESULTS Thirty-three IR centers completed the questionnaire. The majority reported practice was established within a tumor board (97%), which included input from hepatobiliary surgery (94%). When considering the number of percutaneous ablation and liver-directed trans-arterial therapies performed for all tumor types, 33.5% and 13.4% were performed to specifically treat CRC-OMD. Lung ablations for CRC OMD were performed in 45.5% of centers. Regarding liver ablation, The most common technology was the microwave ablation (68.1%), which was typically performed under US guidance (78%) with conscious sedation used as the most common anaesthesia method (81%). While indication for percutaneous IR treatments was heterogeneous, 51% were performed in combination with chemotherapy in unresectable OMD. Despite new ESMO and NCCN guidelines, 59% of centers did not subjectively appreciate any change in the perception of IR treatments by other specialists; however, 63%of respondents believe that IR will have a more relevant role in the CRC-OMD management in the future. CONCLUSION CRC-OMD treatment represents a relevant part of the everyday clinical practice of the IR Italian centers with promising future prospects. Heterogeneity persists in clinical indications, requiring more robust evidence to set indications and to diffuse clinical applications.

Clinical Application of Radioembolization in Hepatic Malignancies: Protocol for a Prospective Multicenter Observational Study. JMIR Res Protoc 2020; 9:e16296. [PMID: 32319960 PMCID: PMC7203613 DOI: 10.2196/16296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2019] [Revised: 01/30/2020] [Accepted: 02/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Radioembolization, also known as transarterial radioembolization or selective internal radiation therapy with yttrium-90 (90Y) resin microspheres, is an established treatment modality for patients with primary and secondary liver tumors. However, large-scale prospective observational data on the application of this treatment in a real-life clinical setting is lacking. Objective The main objective is to collect data on the clinical application of radioembolization with 90Y resin microspheres to improve the understanding of the impact of this treatment modality in its routine practice setting. Methods Eligible patients are 18 years or older and receiving radioembolization for primary and secondary liver tumors as part of routine practice, as well as have signed informed consent. Data is collected at baseline, directly after treatment, and at every 3-month follow-up until 24 months or study exit. The primary objective of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe Registry for SIR-Spheres Therapy (CIRT) is to observe the clinical application of radioembolization. Secondary objectives include safety, effectiveness in terms of overall survival, progression-free survival (PFS), liver-specific PFS, imaging response, and change in quality of life. Results Between January 2015 and December 2017, 1047 patients were included in the study. The 24-month follow-up period ended in December 2019. The first results are expected in the third quarter of 2020. Conclusions The CIRT is the largest observational study on radioembolization to date and will provide valuable insights to the clinical application of this treatment modality and its real-life outcomes.
