About

The main purpose of this study is to further assess treatment efficacy and safety after using QuiremSpheres® for the treatment of patients with unresectable primary liver cancer or unresectable liver metastases suitable for SIRT and allocated to this treatment by a multidisciplinary tumor board.

Full description

Liver tumors can be of primary (Hepatocellular Carcinoma, HCC) or metastatic (mainly from colorectal carcinoma, CRC) origin. Both HCC and CRC are common causes of death from cancer worldwide. The overall incidence of HCC and CRC remains high in developing countries and is steadily rising in most industrialized countries. Available treatment options depend on the size, number, and location of tumors, on liver status, overall performance status and comorbidities, on patency of portal vein and presence of extrahepatic metastatic disease. They include surgical (liver resection, liver transplantation), systemic (e.g. chemotherapy, immunotherapy), ablative (thermal ablation, chemical ablation) and intra-arterial (chemoembolization, radioembolization) modalities. Radioembolization, also known as Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) with microspheres containing a radiation-emitting isotope (Yttrium-90 or Holmium-166) delivers localized radiation in the vasculature around liver tumors with relatively limited concurrent injury to the surrounding normal/healthy tissue. Yttrium-90 radioembolization is currently included in several guidelines (EASLEORTC, ESMO).
