4 Trans-arterial treatments: the advantages Relatively easy and widely available Minimally invasive

5 Trans-arterial treatments: the advantages Relatively easy and widely available Minimally invasive Flexible Patients conditions Lesions features

6 Trans-arterial treatments: the advantages Relatively easy and widely available Minimally invasive Flexible Plenty of choice Bland Embolization Lipiodol-TACE Drug-eluting beads Chemotherapy Radioembolization

8 Trans-arterial treatments: how to choose? Guidelines Efficacy Feasibility Availability Costs (and QoL)

9 Trans-arterial treatments: how to choose? Guidelines Alejandro Forner, María Reig, Jordi Bruix. The Lancet 2018

10 TACE guidelines: contraindications ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS Decompensated cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B 8) Jaundice Clinical encephalopathy Refractory ascites Hepato-renal syndrome Extensive tumour with massive replacement of both entire lobes Severely reduced portal vein flow (e.g. non-tumoural PV or hepatofugal blood flow) Technical contraindications to hepatic intraarterial treatment (e.g. untreatable arteriovenous fistula) Renal insufficiency (creatinine 2 mg/dl or creatinine clearance <30 ml/min) RELATIVE CONTRAINDICATIONS Comorbidities involving compromised organ function: Active cardiovascular disease Active lung disease Tumour size 10 cm Untreated varices at high risk of bleeding Bile-duct occlusion or incompetent papilla due to stent or surgery Raoul JL et al.

16 Trans-arterial treatments: how to choose? Guidelines Efficacy Feasibility Availability Costs (and QoL)

17 Costs and quality of life DEB vs Lipiodol Higher tolerability Lower toxicity Better response in more advanced patients Lammer J et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2010

18 Costs and quality of life DEB vs Lipiodol DEB-TACE was found more cost-effective than ctace when a minimum willingness-to-pay of about /QALY was accepted, mainly depending on shorter in-hospital stay and better quality of life Cucchetti A et al. Dig Liver Dis 2016

19 Costs and quality of life TACE vs TARE SIRTACE: a randomized multicentre pilot trial of SIRT versus TACE in patients with unresectable HCC N pts N treatments N days TACE TARE Kolligs FT et al. Liver Int. 2015; 35:

20 Costs and quality of life TACE vs TARE Prospective study 29 HCC pts for TARE and 27 HCC pts for TACE Despite the more advanced disease of patients who received 90 Y radioembolization, they had a significantly better QoL, based on social well being (P =.019), functional well-being (P =.031), and embolotherapy-specific scores (P =.018). Salem R et al. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2013

21 Costs and quality of life TARE vs Sorafenib Vilgrain V, Lancet Oncol 2017
