Radioembolization versus standard care of hepatic metastases: comparative retrospective cohort study of survival outcomes and adverse events in salvage patients
L Bester, B Meteling, N Pocock, N Pavlakis… - Journal of Vascular and …, 2012 - Elsevier
PURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate the safety and survival of patients with chemotherapy-
refractory liver metastases treated with yttrium-90 (90Y) resin microspheres, and to compare
survival in this patient group versus survival after standard/supportive care to assess
whether radioembolization contributes to survival gains in the salvage setting. MATERIALS
AND METHODS: While 339 patients with chemotherapy-refractory liver metastases
underwent 90Y microspheres radioembolization at a single institution between 2006 and …
