Article Title: Outcomes of Y90 radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients previously treated with transarterial embolization
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients previously treated with transarterial embolization (TAE). In this retrospective study, all HCC patients who received TARE from 1/2012 to 12/2022 for treatment of residual or recurrent disease after TAE were identified. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Univariate Cox regression was performed to determine significant predictors of OS after TARE. Twenty-one patients (median age 73.4 years, 18 male, 3 female) were included. Median dose to the perfused liver volume was 121 Gy (112–444, range), and 18/21 (85.7%) patients received 112–140 Gy. Median OS from time of HCC diagnosis was 32.9 months (19.4–61.4, 95% CI). Median OS after first TAE was 29.3 months (15.3–58.9, 95% CI). Median OS after first TARE was 10.6 months (6.8–27.0, 95% CI). ECOG performance status of 0 (p = 0.038), index tumor diameter < 4 cm (p = 0.022), and hepatic tumor burden < 25% (p = 0.018) were significant predictors of longer OS after TARE. TARE may provide a survival benefit for appropriately selected patients with HCC who have been previously treated with TAE. © 2024 by the authors.
