JOURNAL OF VASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY. Yttrium-90 Radioembolization for Breast Cancer Liver Metastases

Andrew C. Gordon, BA, Riad Salem, MD, MBA, Robert J. Lewandowski, MD

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Breast Cancer Panel updated its clinical practice guidelines in May 2016 to reflect several emerging trends in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC). First, the panel recommends allocating systemic therapy based on the location and biology of disease. Specifically, the presence or absence of bone metastases and the patient’s hormonal estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor and HER2 status are used to guide treatment with biologic agents, endocrine therapy, or cytotoxic chemotherapy.

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ROENTGENOLOGY. Quantitative Measurements of Enhancement on Preprocedure Triphasic CT Can Predict Response of Colorectal Liver Metastases to Radioembolization

F. Edward Boas, Lynn A. Brody, Joseph P. Erinjeri, Hooman Yarmohammadi, Waleed Shady, Sirish Kishore and Constantinos T. Sofocleous

OBJECTIVE. Colorectal liver metastases (CLM) have a variable response to radioembolization. This may be due at least partly to differences in tumor arterial perfusion. The present study examines whether quantitative measurements of enhancement on preprocedure triphasic CT can be used to predict the response of CLM to radioembolization.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, tumor attenuation criteria, Choi criteria, and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) PET criteria as measures of response and subsequent predictors of liver progression-free survival (PFS) after radioembolization (RE) of colorectal liver metastases (CLM). The study also assesses interobserver variability for measuring tumor attenuation using a single 2D ROI on a simple PACS workstation.
