Comparison of hepatic artery embolization and selective internal radiation therapy for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors.
332 Background: Liver-directed therapies can be beneficial in reducing morbidity and mortality in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (mNETs). We compared the clinical outcomes of patients treated with hepatic artery embolization/chemoembolization (HA(C)E) or selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with SIR-Spheres at our institution over the last ten years. METHODS Medical rec...
متن کاملHepatic Arterial Embolization for the Treatment of Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have a high predilection for metastasizing to the liver and can cause severe debilitating symptoms adversely affecting quality of life. Although surgery remains the treatment of choice, many liver metastases are inoperable at presentation. Hepatic arterial embolization procedures take advantage of the arterial supply of NET metastases. The goals of these therapies a...
متن کاملHepatic arterial embolization in patients with neuroendocrine tumors
Liver metastases occur in 46-93% of patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Presence and extension of liver metastases are considered important prognostic factors, as they may significantly impair the patient's quality of life, because of either tumor bulk or hormonal hypersecretion. Therapies for NEN liver metastases include surgical resection, liver transplantation, chemotherapy and bi...
متن کاملA phase II clinical trial of sunitinib following hepatic transarterial embolization for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors.
BACKGROUND The liver is the predominant site of metastases among patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Prior retrospective studies have reported high response rates in patients treated with transarterial embolization (TAE). NETs are highly vascular and are known to express vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). We hypoth...
متن کاملComplications after uterine artery embolization for leiomyomas.
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency and severity of complications that occur as a result of uterine artery embolization for leiomyomas. METHODS As part of an ongoing study of outcome after uterine embolization, prospective data regarding complications that occurred in 400 consecutive patients were gathered. Each patient had a minimum of a 3-month interval from the procedure at the time of an...
