Abstract

To evaluate outcomes of yttrium-90 radioembolization performed with glass-based microspheres in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) secondary to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). A total of 675 patients treated between January 2006 and July 2014 were reviewed, of which 45 (age 62 y ± 10; 91% male) received glass-based radioembolization for HCC secondary to HBV. All patients were stratified according to previous therapy (naive, n = 14; 31.1%), Child-Pugh class (class A, n = 41; 91%), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS; < 1, n = 21; 47%), solitary (n = 26; 58%) and unilobar (n = 37; 82%) tumor distribution, tumor size < 5 cm (n = 29; 64%), portal vein thrombosis (n = 14; 31%), α-fetoprotein level > 400 ng/mL (n = 17; 38%), and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage (A, n = 8; B, n = 9; C, n = 28). A total of 50 radioembolization treatments were performed, with a 100% technical success rate (median target dose, 120 Gy). Clinical toxicities included pain (16%), fatigue (12%), and nausea (4%). Grade 3/4 laboratory toxicities included bilirubin (8%) and aspartate aminotransferase (4%) toxicities. Observed toxicities were independent of treatment dose. The objective response rates were 55% per modifie...Continue Reading
