[Experience using doxorubicin-loaded DC Beads® during hepatic chemoembolisation].
INTRODUCTION Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common and aggressive liver and biliary tumour. Hepatic chemoembolisation with doxorubicin-loaded DC Beads(®) is a local therapy for patients with localised nodes, which are not suitable for surgery. The objective of this study is to describe the clinical situations in which this procedure has been used and its early toxicity. METHODS Retrospe...
متن کاملIs Chemoembolisation of Value in Inoperable Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Chemoembolisation has been extensively used as primary treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this unit, 185 patients with a new diagnosis of HCC not amenable to surgery were seen between 1988 and 1991. Intended therapy for these patients was chemoembolisation with doxorubicin (60 mg/m2) and lipiodol, repeated at six week intervals until it was technically no longer possi...
متن کاملDoxorubicin-loaded drug-eluting beads (DC Bead®) for use in transarterial chemoembolization: a stability assessment.
PURPOSE Evaluation of doxorubicin stability over time when stored into the DC Bead embolic agent, in various containers, which are used for the delivery of the doxorubicin-loaded beads to the patients for up to 14 days under refrigerated conditions. METHODS The doxorubicin was loaded through the ionic exchange mechanism into the calibrated polyvinyl alcohol-based hydrogel beads (DC Bead), wit...
متن کاملShort-term effects of transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation on metabolic activity of the liver of cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation, a procedure for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, provokes a pronounced but transient increase in hepatic cytolysis parameters. A definite evaluation of the impairment of liver function after this treatment, performed by adequate techniques, is still lacking. AIMS To assess and quantify the impairment of liver metabolic activity af...
متن کاملTransarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) using irinotecan-loaded beads for the treatment of unresectable metastases to the liver in patients with colorectal cancer: an interim report
BACKGROUND Following failure of standard systemic chemotherapy, the role of hepatic transarterial therapy for colorectal hepatic metastasis continues to evolve as the experience with this technique matures. The aim of this study to gain a better understanding of the value of drug eluting bead therapy when administered to patients with unresectable colorectal hepatic metastasis. METHODS This w...
