Abstract:

Objective:

To systematicly evaluate the efficacy and safety of transarterial embolization with drug-eluting beads of irinotecan (DEBIRI) for treatment of unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) .

Methods:

A comprehensive search of medical literature identified the studies describing the use of DEBIRI in treatment of CRLM. Data describing adverse events, pharmacokinetics, tumor response, and overall survival were collected.

Results:

Eight observational studies and two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were reviewed. A total of 578 patients were included in the descriptive analysis of observational studies. Postembolization syndrome was the most common adverse event. Peak plasma levels of irinotecan were observed after 1~2 h of administration. Wide variations in tumor response were observed. The median survival time ranged from 5.4 months to 25 months. In the two RCTs, treatment with DEBIRI was superior to systemic chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin/irinotecan in terms of overall response rate and progression-free survival.

Conclusions:

For patients with unresectable CRLM, particularly after failure to respond to first-line regimens, DEBIRI represents a novel alternative to systemic chemotherapy alone or other local treatments.

Key words: Colorectal liver metastasis, Irinotecan, Drug-eluting beads
