RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To provide guidance, via multidisciplinary consensus statements, on the safety interactions between systemic anticancer agents (such as radiosensitizing chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy) and transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium-90 (90Y)-labeled microspheres in the treatment of primary and metastatic liver malignancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature search identified 59 references that informed 26 statements on the safety of 90Y TARE combined with systemic therapies. Modified Delphi method was used to develop consensus on statements through online anonymous surveys of the 12 panel members representing the fields of interventional radiology, medical oncology, surgical oncology, hepatology, and pharmacy, focusing on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), neuroendocrine tumors, metastatic breast cancer, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. RESULTS: High-level evidence was limited. Level 1 data in patients with mCRC suggest that some radiosensitizing chemotherapies (eg, oxaliplatin) require temporary dose reduction when used concomitantly with 90Y TARE, and some targeted therapies (eg, vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors and antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors) should be avoided for at least 4 weeks before 90Y TARE. In patients with HCC, the feasibility of 90Y TARE and immunotherapy has been demonstrated with Level 4 evidence. Data are more limited for other primary and secondary liver malignancies, and consensus statements were driven by expert opinion (Level 5). CONCLUSIONS: Given the absence of evidence-based guidelines on the safety of 90Y TARE in combination with systemic anticancer therapy, these consensus statements provide expert guidance on the potential risks when considering specific combinations.

The solid tumor microenvironment (TME) imprints a compromised metabolic state in tumor-infiltrating T cells (TILs), hallmarked by the inability to maintain effective energy synthesis for antitumor function and survival. T cells in the TME must catabolize lipids via mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) to supply energy in nutrient stress, and it is established that T cells enriched in FAO are adept at cancer control. However, endogenous TILs and unmodified cellular therapy products fail to sustain bioenergetics in tumors. We reveal that the solid TME imposes perpetual acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylase (ACC) activity, invoking lipid biogenesis and storage in TILs that opposes FAO. Using metabolic, lipidomic, and confocal imaging strategies, we find that restricting ACC rewires T cell metabolism, enabling energy maintenance in TME stress. Limiting ACC activity potentiates a gene and phenotypic program indicative of T cell longevity, engendering T cells with increased survival and polyfunctionality, which sustains cancer control.

PURPOSE: To determine overall survival (OS), best response, and toxicities in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) previously treated with chemoembolization (TACE+) or yttrium-90 resin transarterial radioembolization (TARE) compared with those of TACE-naïve (T-N) participants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective, observational study, 262 adult participants with HCC were divided into TACE+ (n = 93, 35%) or T-N (n = 169, 65%) groups, included from 36 centers in the United States. Overall survival (OS) was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis from the date of TARE. Best response at 6 months was evaluated using modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Six-month toxicities were reported using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5. RESULTS: Median OS for patients in the TACE+ and T-N groups was 22.3 months (95% CI: 17.2 to not reachable) and 21.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 14.9-29.9), respectively (P = .6). Imaging at 6 months ± 2 weeks was available in 156 of 262 (60%) participants. Partial or complete response was seen in 27 of 55 patients (49%) in the TACE+ group and 65 of 101 patients (64%) in the T-N group (P = .2). Six-month toxicities were available in 69 of 93 patients (74%) in the TACE+ group and 135 of 167 patients (81%) in the T-N group. Attributable Grade 3 or greater liver function toxicities were similar between the study groups (all P > .05). CONCLUSIONS: OS and imaging response at 6 months in the TACE+ group was similar to that in the T-N group with similar toxicities. Radioembolization is an acceptable treatment option for patients with HCC previously treated with TACE.

Background: To evaluate overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and toxicity after resin Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization in Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer B (BCLC B) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients using the Bolondi subgroup classification. Methods: A total of 144 BCLC B patients were treated between 2015-2020. Patients were broken into 4 subgroups by tumor burden/liver function tests with 54, 59, 8 and 23 in subgroups 1, 2, 3 and 4. OS and PFS were calculated with Kaplan-Meier analysis with 95% confidence intervals. Toxicities were assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5. Results: Prior resection and chemoembolization were performed in 19 (13%) and 34 (24%) of patients. There were no deaths within 30 days. Median OS and PFS for the cohort were 21.5 and 12.4 months. Median OS was not reached for subgroup 1 at a mean 28.8 months, and was 24.9, 11.0 and 14.6 months for subgroups 2-4 (χ2=19.8, P=0.0002). PFS by BCLC B subgroup was 13.8, 12.4, 4.5, and 6.6 months (χ2=16.8, P=0.0008). The most common Grade 3 or 4 toxicities were elevated bilirubin (n=16, 13.3%) and decreased albumin (n=15, 12.5%). Grade 3 or greater bilirubin (32% vs. 10%, P=0.03) and albumin (26% vs. 10%, P=0.03) toxicity were more common in the subgroup 4 patients. Conclusions: The Bolondi subgroup classification stratifies OS, PFS and development of toxicity in patients treated with resin Y-90 microspheres. OS in subgroup 1 approaches 2.5 years and Grade 3 or greater hepatic toxicity profile in subgroups 1-3 is low.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To report outcomes in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma treated with yttrium-90 resin microspheres (transarterial radioembolization [TARE]) from a multicenter, prospective observational registry. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-five patients (median age, 67 years [interquartile range {IQR}, 59-74]; 50 men) were treated in 27 centers between July 2015 and August 2020. Baseline demographic characteristics included imaging findings, performance status, and previous systemic or locoregional treatments. Dosimetry method was tracked. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The best imaging response was calculated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1. Grade ≥3 toxicities were assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5. Cox regression analysis was performed. RESULTS: Fifty-two of 86 (60%) patients had multifocal tumors, and 24/89 (27%) had extrahepatic tumors. The median index tumor diameter was 7.0 cm (IQR, 4.9-10 cm). The activity calculation method was reported in 59/95 (62%) patients, with body surface area being the most frequently used method (45/59, 76%). Median OS for the cohort was 14 months (95% confidence interval, 12-22). OS at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months was 94%, 80%, 63%, and 34%, respectively. Median OS was longer in patients without cirrhosis (19.1 vs 12.2 months, P = .05). Cirrhosis, previous chemotherapy (OS, 19.1 vs 10.6 months for treatment-naïve; P = .07), and imaging response at 6 months (OS, 16.4 vs 9.5 months for no response; P = .06) underwent regression analysis. Imaging response predicted OS at regression (hazard ratio, 0.39; P = .008). Grade 3-4 bilirubin toxicities were noted in 5 of 72 (7%) patients. Grade 3 albumin toxicity was noted in 1 of 72 (1.4%) patients. CONCLUSIONS: Objective response at 6 months predicted longer OS after TARE for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The incidence of liver function toxicity was <10%.

INTRODUCTION: National Comprehensive Cancer Network HCC guidelines recommend Y90 to treat BCLC-C patients only in select cases given the development of systemic regimens. We sought to identify ideal candidates for Y90 by assessing survival and toxicities in this patient group. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Radiation-Emitting Selective Internal radiation spheres in Non-resectable tumor registry is a prospective observational study (NCT: 02,685,631). Patients with advanced HCC were stratified into 3 groups based on tumor location, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and liver function. Group 1: liver isolated HCC, ECOG 0 and Child Pugh (CP) A (n = 12, 16%), Group 2: liver isolated HCC, ECOG ≥ 1 or CP B/C (n = 37, 49%), and Group 3: extrahepatic HCC with any ECOG or CP score (n = 26, 35%). Patients in any group could have macrovascular invasion. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Grade 3 + toxicities were tracked using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5. Cox proportional hazard model was performed to determine factors affecting OS. RESULTS: Seventy-five BCLC-C patients treated between 2015 and 2019 were reviewed. The groups were similar in age, sex, race, and ethnicity (all p > 0.05). Bilobar disease was least common in Group 1 (p < 0.001). Median OS of the entire cohort was 13.6 (95% CI 7.5-16.1) months. Median OS of Groups 1-3 were 21.8, 13.1 and 11.5 months respectively (p = 0.6). Median PFS for the cohort was 6.3 (4.8-14.7) months. Median PFS for group 1 was not reached. Mean PFS for Group 1 was 17.3 ± 4.8 months. Median PFS for Groups 2 and 3 was 6.8 and 5.9 months (X2 = 1.5, p = 0.5). Twenty-four Grade 3 or greater toxicities developed, most commonly hyperbilirubinemia (8/75, 11%) and thrombocytopenia (2/75, 3%). The incidence of toxicities between groups was similar (all p > 0.05). Cox Proportional Hazard analysis predicted shorter OS with CP class B/C (X2 = 6.7, p = 0.01), while macrovascular invasion (X2 = 0.5, p = 0.5) and ECOG score of ≥ 1 (X2 = 2.1, p = 0.3) was not associated with OS. CONCLUSIONS: OS of CPA patients with advanced HCC and performance status of 0 was 21.8 months following Y90. CP A cirrhosis is the best predictor of prolonged OS in advanced (BCLC-C) HCC.

Background Patients with unresectable, chemorefractory hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer have considerable mortality. The role of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium 90 (90Y) microspheres is not defined because most reports are from a single center with limited patient numbers. Purpose To report outcomes in participants with colorectal cancer metastases treated with resin 90Y microspheres from a prospective multicenter observational registry. Materials and Methods This study treated enrolled adult participants with TARE using resin microspheres for liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer at 42 centers, with enrollment from July 2015 through August 2020. TARE was used as the first-, second-, or third-line therapy or beyond. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and toxicity outcomes were assessed by line of therapy by using Kaplan-Meier analysis for OS and PFS and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5, for toxicities. Results A total of 498 participants (median age, 60 years [IQR, 52-69 years]; 298 men [60%]) were treated. TARE was used in first-line therapy in 74 of 442 participants (17%), second-line therapy in 180 participants (41%), and third-line therapy or beyond in 188 participants (43%). The median OS of the entire cohort was 15.0 months (95% CI: 13.3, 16.9). The median OS by line of therapy was 13.9 months for first-line therapy, 17.4 months for second-line therapy, and 12.5 months for third-line therapy (χ2 = 9.7; P = .002). Whole-group PFS was 7.4 months (95% CI: 6.4, 9.5). The median PFS by line of therapy was 7.9 months for first-line therapy, 10.0 months for second-line therapy, and 5.9 months for third-line therapy (χ2 = 8.3; P = .004). TARE-attributable grade 3 or 4 hepatic toxicities were 8.4% for bilirubin (29 of 347 participants) and 3.7% for albumin (13 of 347). Grade 3 and higher toxicities were greater with third-line therapy for bilirubin (P = .01) and albumin (P = .008). Conclusion Median overall survival (OS) after transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium 90 microspheres for liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer was 15.0 months. The longest OS was achieved when TARE was part of second-line therapy. Grade 3 or greater hepatic function toxicity rates were less than 10%. Clinical trial registration no.

BACKGROUND: The goal of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of 90Y radioembolization for neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM) in a multicenter registry. METHODS: One hundred-seventy patients with NELM were enrolled in the registry (NCT02685631). Prior treatments included hepatic resection (n = 23, 14%), arterial therapy (n = 62, 36%), octreotide (n = 119, 83%), cytotoxic chemotherapy (n = 58, 41%), biologic therapy (n = 49, 33%) and immunotherapy (n = 10, 6%). Seventy-seven (45%) patients had extrahepatic disease. Seventy-eight (48%), 61 (37%), and 25 (15%) patients were Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or ≥ 2. Tumor grade was known in 81 (48%) patients: 57 (70%) were well-, 12 (15%) moderate-, and 12 (15%) poorly-differentiated. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log rank tests were performed to compare overall and progression-free survival (OS/PFS) by tumor location and grade. Toxicities were reported using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v.5. Cox Proportional Hazards were calculated for pancreatic primary, performance status, extrahepatic disease at treatment, unilobar treatment, baseline ascites, and > 25% tumor burden. RESULTS: One, 2, and 3-year OS rates were 75, 62 and 46%, respectively. Median OS was 33 months [(95% CI: 25-not reached (NR)]. The longest median OS was in patients with pancreatic (42 months, 95% CI: 33-NR) and hindgut 41 months, 95% CI: 12-NR) primaries. The shortest OS was in foregut primaries (26 months; 95% CI: 23-NR; X2 = 7, p = 0.1). Median OS of well-differentiated tumors was 36 months (95% CI: 10-NR), compared to 44 (95% CI: 7-NR) and 25 (95% CI: 3-NR) months for moderate and poorly differentiated tumors. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 25 months with 1, 2, and 3-year PFS rates of 70, 54, and 35%, respectively. Thirteen patients (7.6%) developed grade 3 hepatic toxicity, most commonly new ascites (n = 8, 5%) at a median of 5.5 months. Performance status of ≥2 (HR 2.7, p = 0.01) and baseline ascites (HR 2.8, P = 0.049) predicted shorter OS. DISCUSSION: In a population with a high incidence of extrahepatic disease, 90Y was effective and safe in treatment of NELM, with median OS of 41 months for well differentiated tumors. Grade 3 or greater hepatic toxicity was developed in 7.6% of patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT02685631 .

PURPOSE: The American College of Radiology (ACR), American Brachytherapy Society (ABS), American College of Nuclear Medicine (ACNM), American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR), and Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) have jointly developed a practice parameter on selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) or radioembolization for treatment of liver malignancies. Radioembolization is the embolization of the hepatic arterial supply of hepatic primary tumors or metastases with a microsphere yttrium-90 brachytherapy device. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The ACR -ABS -ACNM -ASTRO -SIR -SNMMI practice parameter for SIRT or radioembolization for treatment of liver malignancies was revised in accordance with the process described on the ACR website (https://www.acr.org/ClinicalResources/Practice-Parameters-and-Technical-Standards) by the Committee on Practice Parameters-Interventional and Cardiovascular Radiology of the ACR Commission on Interventional and Cardiovascular, Committee on Practice Parameters and Technical Standards-Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging of the ACR Commission on Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging and the Committee on Practice Parameters-Radiation Oncology of the ACR Commission on Radiation Oncology in collaboration with ABS, ACNM, ASTRO, SIR, and SNMMI. RESULTS: This practice parameter is developed to serve as a tool in the appropriate application of radioembolization in the care of patients with conditions where indicated. It addresses clinical implementation of radioembolization including personnel qualifications, quality assurance standards, indications, and suggested documentation. CONCLUSIONS: This practice parameter is a tool to guide clinical use of radioembolization. It focuses on the best practices and principles to consider when using radioemboliozation effectively. The clinical benefit and medical necessity of the treatment should be tailored to each individual patient.

PURPOSE: To determine overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and toxicity in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a multicenter, real-world data registry using transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with resin microspheres. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 448 patients with HCC were treated at 36 centers between 2015 and 2019. Treatment history, baseline laboratory and imaging, and treatment goal were assessed. OS and PFS were stratified using Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) and Child-Pugh (CP) classifications. Kaplan-Meier analyses compared OS and PFS with 95% confidence intervals. Transplants were tracked. Toxicities were assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5. Cox proportional hazard of baseline demographics assessed factors affecting survival. RESULTS: Prior chemoembolization and systemic therapy were used in 107 (26%) and 68 (16%) patients, respectively. Using the BCLC staging system, 66 patients (19%) were BCLC A and 202, 51, and 26 were BCLC B, C, and D, respectively. Median OS for patients with BCLC A disease was not achieved at 30 months. Median OS for patients with BCLC B, C, and D disease were 19.5, 13.6, and 11.5 months, respectively (P = .0006). Median PFS for patients with BCLC A, B, C, and D were 19.8, 10.0, 6.3, and 5.9 months, respectively (P = .003). Twenty patients underwent transplantation, representing 14 of 43 (33%) and 6 of 28 (21%) patients who underwent bridging and downstaging therapy, respectively. Common Grade 3 toxicities were encephalopathy (11/448, 2.5%), hyperbilirubinemia (10/448, 2.2%), and ascites (9/448, 2.0%). Factors predicting longer survival included CP A (χ2 = 4.2, P = .04) and BCLC A (χ2 = 5.2, P = .02). CONCLUSIONS: In a frequently pretreated patient cohort with disease burden in 81% beyond the Milan criteria, TARE with resin microspheres provided OS comparable to other studies in this multicenter registry.

The transmembrane Hsp40 DNAJB12 and cytosolic Hsp70 cooperate on the endoplasmic reticulum's (ER) cytoplasmic face to facilitate the triage of nascent polytopic membrane proteins for folding versus degradation. N1303K is a common mutation that causes misfolding of the ion channel CFTR, but unlike F508del-CFTR, biogenic and functional defects in N1303K-CFTR are resistant to correction by folding modulators. N1303K is reported to arrest CFTR folding at a late stage after partial assembly of its N-terminal domains. N1303K-CFTR intermediates are clients of JB12-Hsp70 complexes, maintained in a detergent-soluble state, and have a relatively long 3-h half-life. ER-associated degradation (ERAD)-resistant pools of N1303K-CFTR are concentrated in ER tubules that associate with autophagy initiation sites containing WIPI1, FlP200, and LC3. Destabilization of N1303K-CFTR or depletion of JB12 prevents entry of N1303K-CFTR into the membranes of ER-connected phagophores and traffic to autolysosomes. In contrast, the stabilization of intermediates with the modulator VX-809 promotes the association of N1303K-CFTR with autophagy initiation machinery. N1303K-CFTR is excluded from the ER-exit sites, and its passage from the ER to autolysosomes does not require ER-phagy receptors. DNAJB12 operates in biosynthetically active ER microdomains to triage membrane protein intermediates in a conformation-specific manner for secretion versus degradation via ERAD or selective-ER-associated autophagy.

PURPOSE: Washout periods and concomitant medication exclusions are common in cancer clinical trial protocols. These exclusion criteria are often applied inconsistently and without evidence to justify their use. The authors sought to determine how washout period and concomitant medication allowances can be broadened to speed trial enrollment and improve the generalizability of trial data to a larger oncology practice population without compromising the safety of trial participants. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A multistakeholder working group was convened to define problems associated with excessively long washout periods and exclusion of patients due to concomitant medications. The group performed a literature search and evaluated study data from the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN), Emory University School of Medicine (Atlanta, GA), and the FDA to understand recent approaches to these eligibility criteria. The group convened to develop consensus recommendations for broadened eligibility criteria. RESULTS: The data analysis found that exclusion criteria based on washout periods and concomitant medications are frequently inconsistent and lack scientific rationale. Scientific rationale for appropriate eligibility criteria are presented in the article; for washout periods, rationale is presented by treatment type. CONCLUSIONS: Arbitrary or blanket washout and concomitant medication exclusions should be eliminated. Where there is evidence to support them, clinically relevant washout periods and concomitant medication-related eligibility criteria may be included.See related commentary by Giantonio, p. 2369.

BACKGROUND: Patients with liver metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) often benefit from receiving 90Y-microsphere radioembolization (RE) administered via the hepatic arteries. Prior to delivery of liver-directed radiation, standard laboratory tests may assist in improving outcome by identifying correctable pre-radiation abnormalities. METHODS: A database containing retrospective review of consecutively treated patients of mCRC from July 2002 to December 2011 at 11 US institutions was used. Data collected included background characteristics, prior chemotherapy, surgery/ablation, radiotherapy, vascular procedures, 90Y treatment, subsequent adverse events and survival. Kaplan-Meier estimates compared the survival of patients across lines of chemotherapy. The following values were obtained within 10 days prior to each RE treatment: haemoglobin (HGB), albumin, alkaline phosphatase (Alk phosph), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), total bilirubin and creatinine. Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events (CTCAEs) 3.0 grade was assigned to each parameter and analysed for impact on survival by line of chemotherapy. Consensus Guidelines were used to categorize the parameter grades as either within or outside guidelines for treatment. RESULTS: A total of 606 patients (370 male; 236 female) were studied with a median follow-up was 8.5 mo. (IQR 4.3-15.6) after RE. Fewer than 11% of patients were treated outside recommended RE guidelines, with albumin being the most common, 10.5% grade 2 (<3-2.0 g/dL) at time of RE. All seven parameters showed statistically significant decreased median survivals with any grade >0 (P<0.001) across all lines of prior chemotherapy. Compared to grade 0, grade 2 albumin decreased overall survival 67%; for grade 2 total bilirubin a 63% drop occurred, and grade 1 HGB resulted in 66% lower median survival. CONCLUSIONS: Review of pre-RE laboratory parameters may aid in improving median survivals if correctable grade >0 values are addressed prior to radiation delivery. HGB <10 g/dL is a well-known negative factor in radiation response and is easily corrected. Improving other parameters is more challenging. These efforts are important in optimizing treatment response to liver radiotherapy.
RESUMEN
Purpose To determine if high lung shunt fraction (LSF) is an independent prognostic indicator of poor survival in patients who undergo yttrium 90 radioembolization for unresectable liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer. Materials and Methods Retrospective data were analyzed from 606 patients (62% men; mean age, 62 years) who underwent radioembolization to treat liver metastases from colorectal adenocarcinoma between July 2002 and December 2011 at 11 U.S. centers. Institutional review board exemptions were granted prior to the collection of data at each site. Overall survival was estimated by using Kaplan-Meier survival and univariate Cox proportional hazards models to examine the effect of LSF on survival and to compare this to other potential prognostic indicators. Multivariate analysis was also performed to determine whether LSF is an independent risk factor for poor survival. Results LSF higher than 10% was predictive of significantly decreased survival (median, 6.9 months vs 10.0 months; hazard ratio, 1.60; P < .001) and demonstrated a mild but significant correlation to serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels and tumor-to-liver volume ratio (Pearson correlation coefficients, 0.105 and 0.113, respectively; P < .05). A progressive decrease in survival was observed as LSF increased from less than 5% to more than 20% (P < .05). LSF did not correlate with the presence of extrahepatic metastases or prior administration of bevacizumab. Conclusion Increased LSF is an independent prognostic indicator of worse survival in patients undergoing radioembolization for liver-dominant metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. High LSF correlates poorly to other potential markers of tumor size, such as tumor-to-liver volume ratio or serum carcinoembryonic antigen level, and does not correlate to the presence of extrahepatic metastases. © RSNA, 2016 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

In countries with the best cancer outcomes, approximately 60% of patients receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment, which is one of the most cost-effective cancer treatments. Notably, around 40% of cancer cures include the use of radiotherapy, either as a single modality or combined with other treatments. Radiotherapy can provide enormous benefit to patients with cancer. In the past decade, significant technical advances, such as image-guided radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, and proton therapy enable higher doses of radiotherapy to be delivered to the tumour with significantly lower doses to normal surrounding tissues. However, apart from the combination of traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy with radiotherapy, little progress has been made in identifying and defining optimal targeted therapy and radiotherapy combinations to improve the efficacy of cancer treatment. The National Cancer Research Institute Clinical and Translational Radiotherapy Research Working Group (CTRad) formed a Joint Working Group with representatives from academia, industry, patient groups and regulatory bodies to address this lack of progress and to publish recommendations for future clinical research. Herein, we highlight the Working Group's consensus recommendations to increase the number of novel drugs being successfully registered in combination with radiotherapy to improve clinical outcomes for patients with cancer.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have a propensity for producing hepatic metastases. Most GI NETs arise from the foregut or midgut, are malignant, and can cause severe debilitating symptoms adversely affecting quality of life. Aggressive treatments to reduce symptoms have an important role in therapy. Patients with GI NETs usually present with inoperable metastatic disease and severe symptoms from a variety of hormones and biogenic amines. This article describes intra-arterial hepatic-directed therapies for metastases from NETs, a group of treatments in which the therapeutic and/or embolic agents are released intra-arterially in specific hepatic vessels to target tumors.

BACKGROUND: The effects of advancing age on clinical outcomes after radioembolization (RE) in patients with unresectable liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are largely unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study was a retrospective analysis of 160 elderly (≥ 70 years) and 446 younger (< 70 years) consecutive patients from 11 US centers who received RE using ytrrium-90 ((90)Y) resin microspheres ((90)Y radioembolization [(90)Y-RE]) between July 2002 and December 2011. A further analysis was conducted in 98 very elderly patients (≥ 75 years). Statistical analyses of safety, tolerability, and overall survival were conducted. RESULTS: Mean ages (± standard deviation) in the younger (< 70 years), elderly (≥ 70 years), and very elderly (≥ 75 years) cohorts were 55.9 ± 9.4 years, 77.2 ± 4.8 years, and 80.2 ± 3.8 years, respectively. Overall survival was similar between elderly and younger patients: 9.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.0-12.1) and 9.7 months (95% CI, 9.0-11.4) (P = .335). There were no differences between cohorts for any grade adverse events (P = .433) or grade 3+ events (P = .482). Analysis of patients ≥ 75 years and < 75 years confirmed similar overall survival (median, 9.3 months vs. 9.6 months, respectively; P = .987) and grade 3+ events (P = .398) or any adverse event (P = .158) within 90 days of RE. CONCLUSION: For patients with unresectable liver-dominant mCRC who meet eligibility criteria for RE, (90)Y-RE microspheres appear to be effective and well-tolerated, regardless of age. Criteria for selecting patients for RE should not include age for exclusion from this potentially beneficial intervention.

BACKGROUND: To assess response and the impact of imaging artifacts following radioembolization with yttrium-90-labeled resin microspheres ((90)Y-RE) based on the findings from a central independent review of patients with liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). METHODS: Patients with mCRC who received (90)Y-RE (SIR-Spheres(®); Sirtex Medical, Sydney, Australia) at nine US institutions between July 2002 and December 2011 were included in the analysis. Tumor response was assessed at baseline and 3 months using either the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.0 or 1.1. For each lesion, known artifacts affecting the interpretation of response (peri-tumoral edema and necrosis) were documented. Survivals (Kaplan-Meier analyses) were compared in responders [partial response (PR)] and non-responders [stable (SD) or progressive disease (PD)]. RESULTS: Overall, 195 patients (mean age 62 years) received (90)Y-RE after a median of 2 (range, 1-6) lines of prior chemotherapy. Using RECIST 1.0 and RECIST 1.1, 7.6% and 6.9% of patients were partial responders, 47.3% and 48.1% had SD, and 55.0% and 55.0% PD, respectively. RECIST 1.0 and RECIST 1.1 showed excellent agreement {Kappa =0.915 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.856-0.975]}. Peri-tumoral edema was documented in 32.8%, necrosis in 48.1% and both in 57.3% of cases (using RECIST 1.0). Although baseline characteristics were similar in responders and non-responders (P>0.05), responders survived significantly longer in an analysis according to RECIST 1.0: PR median (95% CI) 25.2 (range, 9.2-49.4) months vs. SD 15.8 (range, 9.3-21.1) months vs. PD 7.1 (range, 6.0-9.5) months (P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: RECIST 1.0 and RECIST 1.1 imaging responses provide equivalent interpretations in the assessment of hepatic tumors following (90)Y-RE. Radiologic lesion responses at 3 months must be interpreted with caution due to the significant proportion of patients with peri-tumoral edema and necrosis, which may lead to an under-estimation of PR/SD. Nevertheless, 3-month radiologic responses were predictive of prolonged survival.
