Comparison of Transarterial Liver-Directed Therapies (LDT) for Low-Grade Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (mNETs)

#457

Introduction: Transarterial LDT can ameliorate symptoms and improve time to tumor progression (TTP) in mNETs.

Aim(s): To compare clinical outcomes of hepatic artery embolization (HAE)/chemoembolization (HACE) and hepatic radioembolization (HRE) in mNETs in a single institution.

Materials and methods: Forty-two cases from the University of Iowa NET database treated with transarterial LDT from 2001 to 2011 were analyzed.
