1 Guidelines for SIRT in HCC An Evolution 2 nd Asia Pacific Symposium on Liver- Directed Y-90 Microspheres Therapy 1st November 2014, Singapore

2 The challenge of HCC Surgery is potentially curative in early HCC But 80% are inoperable at time of diagnosis Median survival of untreated inoperable HCC 3 8 months High recurrence rates after surgical resection 2

3 LOCALLY ADVANCED HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA Clinical Presentation Treatment Options Consider Clinical Trial Locally Advanced HCC Good liver function Poor liver function Present for evaluation by multi-disciplinary team - Palliative treatment - Consider Clinical Trial - Transplant within UCSF Surgical resection for carefully selected cases after multidisciplinary board evaluation LOCOREGIONAL THERAPY No Vascular Invasion* Transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) + DC-Beads [32,33] (level 1b) Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) [34-36] (level 2b) External beam RT (alone or as part of combined modality) Sorafenib [32-35] (level 1b) With Vascular Invasion Sorafenib [37-40] (level 1b) Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) [34-36] (level 2b) External beam RT (alone or as part of combined modality) [41,42] (level 2a) Transplantation is a consideration for HCC within the USCF expanded criteria (single tumours < 6.5cm or 2-3 tumours < 4.5cm at the most, with a total tumour diameter < 8cm) after assessment by a multidisciplinary tumour board [43,44] (level 2b) *Sorafenib may also be considered when local regional therapy is not feasible or fails [40] (level - 2b) National Cancer Center Singapore Consensus Guidelines on Liver Cancer guideline Final Ver to upload PDF pdf

4 Main Loco-regional Therapies Trans-arterial chemo-embolisation (TACE): widely used - disease control approx 40% used mainly in HCC, NETs (includes DC Beads) Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT): higher disease control (approx 80%) SIR-Sphere, Thera-Sphere 4

15 NCCN Guidelines (2012)

16 NCCN Guidelines (2012) may be amenable to embolization (chemoembolization, bland embolization, radioembolization) provided that the arterial blood supply to the tumor may be isolated.

17 NCCN Guidelines (2014) 17

18 NCCN Guidelines (2014) *Arterially directed therapies include transarterial embolization (TAE), chemoembolization (transarterial chemoembolization[tace] and TACE with drug-eluting beads [DEB-TACE] )and radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres. 18
