Role of loco-regional treatment in the medical and surgical management strategy of metastatic colorectal cancer M Ducreux, MD, PhD Gustave Roussy Villejuif, FRANCE M Ducreux is a consultant to Biocompatibles UK Ltd, a BTG International group company Because people depend on us
Rationale for Intra-arterial Approach Hematogenous spread of tumor cells from colorectal cancer via portal vein Liver = first site of metastases Goal of locoregional therapy to liver = STOP STEPWISE SPREAD TO OTHER ORGANS Blood supply to liver metastases = hepatic artery once size >2-3 mm Intra-tumoral concentration with IA = 16 x IV Ideal agent: high dose response curve, high extraction rate, rapid total body clearance 2
Classical intra-arterial treatment: IAHC - rationale Ideal drug : High hepatic extraction at the first passage High systemic clearance Current practice Fluoropyrimidines : (FUDR,5FU) : x 10 to 300 THP-adriamycin : x 20 Mitomycin C : x 6 à 8 Cisplatin : x 4 à 7 Decrease of toxicity Better therapeutic index Oxaliplatin : x 4 4

Locoregional treatment for liver metastases of colorectal cancer: WHERE ARE WE? Local treatment are an option for liver-confined metastatic colorectal cancer Few prospective randomized trials New intra-arterial treatments have been developed including : Radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres DC Bead loaded with irinotecan (DEBIRI ) 20
Irinotecan loaded DC Bead DEBIRI DC Bead is a new drug delivery embolization system capable of uniform loading and controlled local and sustained elution of irinotecan Compared to IV or IAH injection in animal models, DEBIRI has shown*: Lower systemic exposure to irinotecan Lower early serum levels of irinotecan High and prolonged intratumoral level of irinotecan A greater rate of tumor necrosis Recent clinical studies have produced promising and encouraging results (Fiorentini 2012, Martin 2012) Based on these results, several studies are currently ongoing to confirm the benefit of DEBIRI in the treatment of liver metastases from CRC * Rao PP et al Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2012 Dec;35(6):1448-59 company.
