U.S. patients receiving resin 90Y microspheres for unresectable colorectal liver metastases: A multicenter study of 506 patients.

2017 
3590 Background: Implantation of radioactive microspheres via the hepatic artery with Yttrium-90 (90Y) is termed “radioembolization, (RE)”. Resin microspheres were FDA cleared for use in colorectal liver metastases (mCRC) in 2002. Rapid worldwide acceptance of this therapy has resulted in greater than 30,000 procedures conducted in the past 10 years. This investigator-initiated study focuses on RE treatment outcomes in US-only patients since 2002. Methods: A retrospective multi-institutional study was designed to analyze the outcome of consecutively treated mCRC patients undergoing RE by experienced treatment centers in the USA using resin 90Y microspheres. IRB approval was obtained by each center with independent data collection and analyses. Primary endpoints: CTC 3.0ae toxicity, RECIST response and survival; baseline treatment parameters, prior chemotherapy, and liver directed therapies. Results: 506 patients at 10 institutions (193 M, 313 F) received 770 RE treatments; median age = 60.4 years (20.8 – ...
