| description | PURPOSE:We aimed to determine whether antireflux (ARC) catheter may result in better tumor targeting in liver radioembolization using 90Y-resin microspheres.METHODS:Patients treated with resin microspheres for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and secondary liver malignancies were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent a 99mTc-macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) following the planning arteriography with a conventional end-hole catheter. For 90Y-microspheres injection, two groups were defined depending on the type of catheter used: an ARC group (n=38) and a control group treated with a conventional end-hole catheter (n=23). 90Y positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT) was performed after the therapeutic arteriography. The choice of the catheter was not randomized, but left to the choice of the interventional radiologist. 99mTc-MAA SPECT and 90Y PET/CT were co-registered with the baseline imaging to determine a tumor to normal liver ratio (T/NL[MAA or 90Y]) and tumor dose (TD[MAA or 90Y]) for the planning and therapy.RESULTS:Overall, 38 patients (115 lesions) and 23 patients (75 lesions) were analyzed in the ARC and control groups, respectively. In the ARC group, T/NL90Y and TD90Y were significantly higher than T/NLMAA and TDMAA. Median (IQR) T/NL90Y was 2.16 (2.15) versus 1.74 (1.43) for T/NLMAA (p < 0.001). Median (IQR) TD90Y was 90.96 Gy (98.31 Gy) versus 73.72 Gy (63.82 Gy) for TDMAA (p < 0.001). In this group, the differences were highly significant for neuroendocrine metastases (NEM) and HCC and less significant for colorectal metastases (CRM). In the control group, no significant differences were demonstrated.CONCLUSION:The use of an ARC significantly improves tumor deposition in liver radioembolization with resin microspheres. |
