Evaluating the Effects of Selective Treatment Utilizing Flex-dosing for Unresectable HCC With Y90 SIR-Spheres

Laborértékek

• Patients are not eligible for SIRT if they had any extrahepatic disease; contraindication to hepatic artery catheterization such as vascular abnormalities, bleeding diathesis, allergy to contrast dye, concurrent malignancy, refractory ascites, previous external beam radiation, or evidence of any uncorrectable flow to the gastrointestinal tract; or greater than 30 Gy of radiation estimated to be delivered to the lung based on angiography or Tc-99 microaggregated albumin scan (shunt fraction of 20% or greater).

Egyéb

• Subjects that do not meet the inclusion criteria

• Age 18 years or older
• All patients diagnosed with unresectable HCC in two of fewer hepatic segments at MDMC who undergo at least one SIRT procedure with Y-90 resin microspheres (SIR-Spheres®, Sirtex Medical Limited, Sydney, Australia) will be included in data capture. HCC is considered unresectable if it is multifocal or bilobar, or if the patient has malignant portal vein thrombosis, portal hypertension, or decompensated liver disease (Child-Pugh B or C).
• Eligible cases for inclusion are those that would have undergone Y-90 resin SIRT and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 2; platelets >60,000; creatinine <2 mg/dL; bilirubin <2 mg/dL; and international normalized ratio (INR) <1.2.
