متن کاملIsolated hepatic perfusion as a treatment for uveal melanoma liver metastases (the SCANDIUM trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Despite successful control of the primary tumor, metastatic disease will ultimately develop in approximately 50% of patients, with the liver being the most common site for metastases. The median survival for patients with liver metastases is between 6 and 12 months, and no treatment has in randomized trials e...
متن کاملIntra-arterial hepatic fotemustine for the treatment of liver metastases from uveal melanoma: experience in 101 patients.
BACKGROUND Exclusive liver metastases occur in up to 40% of patients with uveal melanoma associated with a median survival of 2-7 months. Single agent response rates with commonly available chemotherapy are below 10%. We have investigated the use of fotemustine via direct intra-arterial hepatic (i.a.h.) administration in patients with uveal melanoma metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of...
متن کاملA single-center experience in radioembolization as salvage therapy of hepatic metastases of uveal melanoma
BACKGROUND Overall survival (OS) of patients with hepatic metastases of uveal melanoma is strongly linked with hepatic tumor control. Due to the lack of an effective systemic chemotherapy, locoregional therapies like radioembolization should play an increasingly important role. PURPOSE To report complications and response rates of radioembolization as salvage therapy for hepatic uveal melanom...
