The Role of Hepatic Trans-Arterial Chemoembolization in Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Specialist Center Experience and Review of the Literature

#1632

Introduction: Liver metastases are relatively common in patients with metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), carrying a negative impact on disease prognosis. The options for selective therapy of liver metastases in MTC patients are limited to catheter guided procedures such as trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Data regarding the effectiveness and safety of this procedure in MTC is limited.

Aim(s): To explore the clinical outcome, survival and safety profile of TACE for liver metastases in a group of MTC patients.

Materials and methods: Retrospective case series of patients treated at a single tertiary university medical centre from 2005 to 2015.
