122 Radioembolization in segmentectomy, lobectomy, and future liver remnant hypertrophy
of patients with median time-to-disease response
1.2 months, and WHO response was reported in 59% of patients with median time-to-disease response of 7.2 months. e largest series pub­lished to date by Vouche et al. (2014) demonstrated complete response in 47% of patients, partial response in 39% of patients, and stable disease in 12% of patients according to modied Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (mRECIST). Median time-to-disease progression in this series was 33.1 months with new intrahepatic lesions responsible for disease progression in a major­ity of cases (Vouche et al., 2014). For comparison, median time-to-disease progression has been reported between 7.9 and 33.3 months in prospec­tive studies and large cohort retrospective stud­ies (Lewandowski et al., 2009; Salem et al., 2010; Sangro et al., 2011).
6.4.4.2 Radiation segmentectomy survival outcomes
Median overall survival for patients undergo­ing radiation segmentectomy has been reported at 13.6–53.4 months (Riaz et al., 2011; Vouche et al., 2014). Censored for transplantation, the overall survival in the 34.5 months in the Vouche et al. (2014) study compared with the uncen­sored median overall survival of 53.4 months. ese overall survival rates are comparable with or exceed overall survival reported in other large cohorts of patients undergoing radioembolization (Sangro et al., 2011). e variability in the reported segmentectomy median overall survival is likely secondary to the duration of the largest studies of radiation segmentectomy—5 and 8 years, respec­tively (Riaz et al., 2011; Vouche et al., 2014). In addition, sorafenib was approved late in 2007 and was therefore unavailable for approximately half of the Riaz et al. (2011) study period, while it was available for the majority of the Vouche et al. (2014) study duration (Llovet et al., 2008).
Because radiation segmentectomy is ideally suited as a complimentary therapy to ablation in instances wherein ablation options are limited, comparison to overall survival in ablation studies is warranted. Vouche et al. (2014) argue that over­all survival as well as local control of tumor lesions in cases of radiation segmentectomy does not dif­fer dramatically from overall survival achieved by ablation when stratied by measure of baseline
liver dysfunction (e.g., Childs–Pugh score)—given the inherent limitations in comparing locoregional therapy survival with that of ablation (Lencioni etal., 2005; Chen et al., 2006; Livraghi et al., 2008; Pompili et al., 2013; Vouche et al., 2014). Further, Vouche et al. (2014) postulate that radiation segmentectomy might oer similar survival outcomes as those seen in Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) A patients. While controversies exist regarding the limitations of percutaneous ablation, radiation segmentectomy remains a viable option for complex lesions with the potential for complete pathological necrosis of the target lesion (Salem et al., 2015; Seror et al., 2015).
6.4.4.3 Radiation segmentectomy dose and response relationship
As the goal of radiation segmentectomy is to achieve complete pathological necrosis (CPN) equivalent to that seen in analogous ablation pro­cedures, several authors have focused on the radia­tion dose necessary to achieve such an outcome. By utilizing dosimetry calculations, Garin et al. (2012) estab­lished a threshold dose of 205 Gy as predictive of EASL imaging response, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Specic to radiation segmen­tectomy, in a study by Vouche et al. (2014), 33 of the 102 patients studied went on to receive liver transplantation; explant analysis revealed that a dose >190 Gy was associated with CPN. eir nd- ings suggest that a threshold radiation dose exists to achieve CPN. In their study of highly selec­tive radiation segmentectomy, Padia et al. (2014) reported a median dose of 255 Gy (range 105–1055 Gy) with a complete EASL response noted in 19 of 20 patients in their cohort. A summary of dose, imaging response, and survival outcomes for sev­eral radiation segmentectomy studies is included in Table 6.2.

6.5 RADIOEMBOLIZATION TOXICITIES AND COMPLICATIONS
e most commonly encountered clinical adverse eect following radioembolization is fatigue (Salem and urston, 2006a). In addition, patients
6.6 Posttreatment patient management / 6.6.1 Patient care 123
may experience fever and chills up to several days following treatment—likely secondary to the eects of radiation on normal hepatic parenchyma and subsequent release of endogenous pyrogens (Murthy et al., 2005; Salem et al., 2005; Salem and urston, 2006c). Additional clinical toxicities described include abdominal pain, nausea, vom­iting, anorexia, diarrhea, and weight loss (Riaz et al., 2011; Vouche et al., 2014);. While these adverse eects are oen self-limited, endoscopic evaluation should be considered if symptoms are persistent as they may reect the development of gastrointesti­nal ulceration (Salem and urston, 2006c).
Laboratory toxicities following radioemboliza­tion most commonly include abnormalities in bili­rubin, albumin, AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, platelet levels, lymphocyte counts, and interna­tional normalized ratio (INR). Care must be taken in the interpretation of laboratory toxicities as it is oen dicult to separate progressive liver disease secondary to underlying disease versus treatment toxicity. In a majority of cases, laboratory abnor­malities are of limited clinical signicance and occasionally reect preexisting poor liver func­tion and cirrhosis (Rhee et al., 2005; Vouche et al.,
2014).
Radioembolization-induced liver disease (REILD) is analogous to the radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) described in the external beam radiation therapy literature and characterized by jaundice, fatigue, and the development of ascites typically 1–2 months posttreatment in the absence of tumor progression or bile duct obstruction (Lawrence etal., 1995; Sangro et al., 2008). REILD represents a form of VOD as does RILD; the two entities dier in that RILD presentation is described as an “anic­teric ascites” with a proportional elevation of liver enzymes in contrast to REILD, which is character­ized by markedly increased bilirubin (Sangro et al.,
2008). Risk factors for the development of REILD have been identied as prior treatment with che­motherapy, relative young age, elevated baseline bilirubin, cirrhosis at baseline, whole-liver treat­ment (versus lobar therapy), and the ratio of activity administered relative to the volume of treated liver (Sangro et al., 2008; Riaz et al., 2009a; Fernandez­Ros et al., 2015). Additional discussion related to the side eects of radioembolization can be found in other chapters in this book. Chapter 14 focuses on identifying and managing clinical sequelae using posttreatment imaging.
6.5.1 RADIATION SEGMENTECTOMY TOXICITIES
Of particular interest to radiation segmentectomy is bilirubin toxicity as the concentration of a lobar dose within one or two segments imposes the theo­retical risk of increased biliary complications (Riaz et al., 2011). REILD is less of a concern in radia­tion segmentectomy compared with treatments involving greater volumes of liver as the target liver parenchyma volume is reduced without limit­ing tumor treatment ecacy (Sangro et al., 2008). However, the increased radiation dose delivered to a smaller volume of liver parenchyma raises con­cern for injury to the biliary system. Rhee et al. (2015) reported a statistically signicant increase in bilirubin following segmental infusion of a lobar radiation dose but deemed this change clinically insignicant as only one of the 14 patients included in their study had a change in Childs–Pugh class following radioembolization (Rhee et al., 2005). Riaz et al. (2011) reported 5% of patients within their cohort of 84 patients undergoing radiation segmentectomy developed small bilomas postpro­cedure as well as 1% of patients developing biliary stricture within the treated segment (Riaz et al.,
2011). Vouche et al. (2014) did not report biloma or
biliary stricture development in their multicenter cohort of 102 patients. Padia et al. (2014) also did not report biloma or biliary stricture in their 20 patient cohort. For comparison, in a study of 327 patients who underwent standard lobar treatment protocols, Atassi et al. (2008) found 17 cases of biliary necrosis, 8 cases of biliary strictures, and 3 cases of biloma.
6.6 POSTTREATMENT PATIENT MANAGEMENT
6.6.1 PATIENT CARE IN THE IMMEDIATE POSTPROCEDURE SETTING
Radioembolization is generally performed on an outpatient basis. Following treatment, patients recover for 2–6 hours prior to discharge home. Practice patterns vary between institutions, but patients may be sent home with gastrointestinal
124 Radioembolization in segmentectomy, lobectomy, and future liver remnant hypertrophy
ulcer prophylaxis such as proton pump inhibitors or with steroid tapers for treatment of fatigue. All patients require instruction regarding radiation safety precautions as their body surface readings may reach 1 mrem/hour following radioembo­lization (Salem and urston, 2006c). Further, patients treated with resin should be advised that urinary excretion of radioactivity is possible at trace levels (25–50 kBq per liter of urine per GBq of dose), which may be safely disposed of with standard precautionary methods. While the toxic­ity prole of radioembolization is limited, patients should again be reminded of potential treatment adverse eects that they may experience following discharge.
6.6.2 FOLLOW-UP EVALUATION
Patients are typically seen in an outpatient setting 2 weeks following treatment with radioemboli­zation. At the time of this assessment, providers should focus their history and examination on the preservation of the patient’s performance sta­tus in addition to monitoring for adverse eects, tumor lysis syndrome, or toxicities of nontarget organs such as the lungs and the gastrointestinal tract. Laboratory testing may be obtained at this point and is likely to show lymphopenia, transient increases in aminotransferase levels, and transient increases in tumor markers (Salem and urston, 2006c). Follow-up imaging is obtained as described below.
6.6.3 IMAGING RESPONSE
Generally, follow-up imaging with contrast­enhanced CT or MRI is obtained at 1–3 months posttreatment and then at 3- to 6-month intervals for lesion surveillance and future treatment plan­ning regardless of whether radioembolization is performed in segmental or lobar treatment. Optimal imaging response is expected to be seen approxi­mately 3–6 months following therapy with median time to response 6.6 months for change in size and
1.2 months for evidence of necrosis (Sangro et al.,
2006; Riaz et al., 2009b; Salem et al., 2010, 2013).

6.8 CONCLUSIONS
e preceding discussion and sample cases highlight the range of radioembolization appli­cations available to physicians for patients with varying disease severity. From BCLC A patients with anatomically challenging lesions otherwise amenable to ablation to patients with meta­static disease deemed unresectable at the time of diagnosis, radioembolization oers solutions in a variety of challenging clinical situations. Understanding the underlying radiation and tumor biology, dosimetry considerations, and patient selection criteria are integral to proper application of the breadth of radioembolization techniques.
