OBJECTIVE: Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radioembolization is an emerging treatment option for unresectable neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM). However, the data regarding this treatment are currently limited. This study evaluates the efficacy and tolerability of Y-90 radioembolization and identifies prognostic factors for radiographic response and survival. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Thirty-eight patients underwent Y-90 radioembolization for NELM at our institution between April 2004 and February 2012. Patients were assessed radiographically (RECIST criteria, enhancement), serologically, and clinically at 1month, and then at every 3months after treatment for tumor response, toxicity, and survival outcomes. RESULTS: Median length of follow-up was 17.0months (IQR, 9.0-37.0). Median survival was 29.2months. Three patients (9%) had a radiographic complete response to treatment, 6 (17%) had a partial response, 21 (60%) had stable disease, and 5 (14%) developed progressive disease. Two factors were significantly associated with a good radiographic response (complete/partial response): islet cell histological subtype (p=0.043) and hepatic tumor burden ≥33% (p=0.031). Multivariate analysis revealed that patients requiring multiple Y-90 treatments (HR 2.9, p=0.035) and patients who had previously failed systemic therapy with octreotide/chemotherapy (HR 4.4, p=0.012) had worse survival. Grade 3 serologic toxicity was observed in 2 patients (5%; hyperbilirubinemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase) after treatment. Grade 3 non-serologic toxicities included abdominal pain (11%), fatigue (11%), nausea/vomiting (5%), ascites (5%), dyspnea (3%), diarrhea (3%), and peripheral edema (3%). No grade 4 or 5 toxicity was reported. CONCLUSIONS: Y-90 radioembolization is a promising treatment option for inoperable NELM and is associated with low rates of grade≥3 toxicity.
