For primary liver cancer (HCC), two large trials comparing SIRT with standard of care chemotherapy, Sorafenib, have been completed, namely the SARAH [15] and SIRveNIB [16] trials. Results of these studies, published in 2017 and 2018, reported no superiority of SIRT over chemotherapy in terms of overall survival (SARAH, [17] SIRveNIB, [18 ...
Cancer mortality rates are determined by the relationship of a population's health and lifestyle with their healthcare system. In the United States during 2013–2017, the age-adjusted mortality rate for all types of cancer was 189.5/100,000 for males, and 135.7/100,000 for females. [ 1 ]
Primary liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the most frequent type of liver cancer, accounting for approximately 90% of the primary malignant liver tumours in adults. Liver cancer is the sixth most prevalent malignancy and the third greatest cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. [5] Every year, around 600,000 ...
Studies from the late 2000s obtained higher survival rates ranging from 67% to 91%. [62] Other estimates of 5 year survival after liver transplantation range from 60-60% with a 50% survival rate at 10 years. [6] The risk of HCC recurrence after liver transplantation is less than 15%. [6]
The survival rate among those with lung cancer has improved by more than a quarter in the last five years, according to a new report. The findings from the American Lung Association’s latest ...
SIR-Spheres microspheres are used to treat patients with unresectable liver cancer. These are mostly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), or metastatic neuroendocrine tumours (mNET). [1] Therapy goals are local disease control, downstaging to resection, bridging to transplantation, and extended ...
Most tumors within the liver are supplied by the proper hepatic artery, so arterial embolization preferentially interrupts the tumor's blood supply and stalls growth until neovascularization. Secondly, focused administration of chemotherapy allows for delivery of a higher dose to the tissue while simultaneously reducing systemic exposure, which ...
In the United States there has been an increase in the 5-year relative survival rate between people diagnosed with cancer in 1975-1977 (48.9%) and people diagnosed with cancer in 2007-2013 (69.2%); these figures coincide with a 20% decrease in cancer mortality from 1950 to 2014. [8]
