Phase II Study of Sunitinib Following Hepatic Transarterial Embolization for Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
#211
Introduction: Hepatic transarterial embolization is often recommended for patients with liver-predominant metastatic NETs. Antiangiogenic therapy following embolization may delay tumor revascularization.
Aim(s): To assess radiographic response rates and progression-free survival associated with hepatic artery embolization followed by sunitinib.
Materials and methods: Patients with metastatic NETs to the liver underwent a series of selective bland arterial embolizations followed by sunitinib (one week after each embolization until disease progression or a maximum of eight cycles).
