Abstract
Purpose To investigate whether liver enhancing tumor burden (LETB) assessed at contrast-enhanced CT indicates early response and helps predict survival outcomes in patients with multifocal neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM) after intra-arterial treatment. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included patients with NELM who underwent intra-arterial treatment with transarterial embolization (TAE) or chemoembolization (TACE) between April 2006 and December 2018. Tumor response in treated NELM was evaluated by using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and modified RECIST (mRECIST). LETB was measured as attenuation 2 SDs greater than that of a region of interest in the nontumoral liver parenchyma. Overall survival (OS); time to unTA(C)Eable progression, defined as the time from the initial treatment until the time when intra-arterial treatments were considered technically unfeasible, either not recommended by the multidisciplinary tumor board or until death; and hepatic and whole-body progression-free survival (PFS) were evaluated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards analyses, the Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank test. Results The study included 119 patients (mean age, 60 years ± 11 [SD]; 61 men) who underwent 161 treatments. A median LETB change of -25.8% best discriminated OS (83 months in responders vs 51 months in nonresponders; P = .02) and whole-body PFS (18 vs 8 months, respectively; P < .001). A -10% LETB change best discriminated time to unTA(C)Eable progression (32 months in responders vs 12 months in nonresponders; P < .001) and hepatic PFS (18 vs 8 months, respectively; P < .001). LETB change remained independently associated with improved OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.56), time to unTA(C)Eable progression (HR, 0.44), hepatic PFS (HR, 0.42), and whole-body PFS (HR, 0.47) on multivariable analysis. Neither RECIST nor mRECIST helped predict patient outcome. Conclusion Response according to LETB change helped predict survival outcomes in patients with NELM after intra-arterial treatments, with better discrimination than RECIST and mRECIST.
