Abstract

PurposeTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of yttrium-90 (90Y) radiation segmentectomy (RS) in the treatment of oligometastatic secondary hepatic malignancies. Materials and MethodsThis institutional review board–approved retrospective study evaluated 16 patients with oligometastatic secondary hepatic malignancies who were treated with RS. The median patient age was 61.9 years (range, 38.6–85.7 years). Of the 16 patients, 11 (68.8%) presented with solitary lesions. The median index tumor size was 3.1 cm (95% CI, 2.3–3.9). Primary outcomes were evaluation of clinical and biochemical toxicities using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0, and imaging response using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1. Secondary outcomes were time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) as estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. ResultsClinical Grade 3 toxicities were limited to 1 (6.7%) patient who experienced fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Biochemical Grade 3 toxicities occurred in 1 (6.7%) patient who experienced lymphopenia. No Grade 4 clinical or biochemical toxicities were identified. Disease control was achieved in 14 (93.3%) of 15 patients. The median TTP of the treated tumor was 72.9 months (95% CI, 11.2 to no estimate). The median OS was 60.9 months (95% CI, 24.7 to no estimate). Conclusions90Y RS displayed an excellent safety profile and was effective in achieving a high disease control rate in the treatment of oligometastatic secondary hepatic malignancies.
