Project description:This research registry studies Yttrium Y 90 resin microspheres in collecting data from patients with liver cancer not capable of being removed by surgery (unresectable) for the radiation-emitting Selective Internal Radiation-Spheres (SIR-spheres) in non-resectable (RESIN) liver tumor registry. The information generated will help doctors better understand treatment patterns involving Y90 therapy, gain additional insights in the long-term outcomes for patients, as well as guide future research for using Y90 therapy, especially for those conditions where data is currently very limited or lacking.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of treatment with Eye90 microspheres in patients with unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC). Both cause tumors, known as malignant hyper-vascular hepatic neoplasia, that have an abnormally large number of blood vessels attached to them. Eye90 is internal radiation brachytherapy for treatment of malignant hyper-vascular hepatic neoplasia that uses microspheres, tiny glass beads smaller in diameter than a human hair, to provide radiation. The microspheres contain Yttrium-90 (Y90) as the radiation source, which are used to to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The microspheres are also radiopaque, which means that they can be seen during imaging procedures. The visibility of the microspheres allows the study doctor to confirm the microspheres have been delivered in the tumor; this may help to improve the outcome of treatment.

Project description:Due to the wide application of rare earth oxides nanoparticles in different fields, they will inevitably be released into the environment, and their potential toxicity and ecological risks in the environment have become a concern of people. Yttrium oxide nanoparticles are important members of rare earth oxides nanoparticles. The molecular mechanism of its influence on plant growth and development and plant response to them is unclear. In this study, we found that yttrium oxide nanoparticles above 2 mM significantly inhibited the growth of Arabidopsis seedlings. Using the Arabidopsis marker lines reflecting auxin signal, it was found that the treatment of yttrium oxide nanoparticles led to the disorder of auxin signal in root cells: the auxin signal in quiescent center cells and columella stem cells decreased; while the auxin signal in the stele cells was enhanced. In addition, trypan blue staining showed that yttrium oxide nanoparticles caused the death of root cells. Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed that yttrium oxide nanoparticles specifically inhibited the expression of lignin synthesis related genes, activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, and enhanced ethylene and ABA signaling pathways in plants. This study revealed the phytotoxicity of yttrium oxide nanoparticles at the molecular level, and provided a new perspective at the molecular level for plants to respond to rare earth oxide stress.

Project description:Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a form of brachytherapy in which intra-arterially injected yttrium-90-loaded microspheres serve as a source for internal radiation purposes. On the average, it produces disease control rates exceeding 80% and it is a consolidated therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, current data are all based on retrospective series or non-controlled prospective studies since randomized controlled trials comparing it with the other liver-directed therapies for intermediate and locally advanced stage HCC are still underway. The data available show that TARE provides similar or even better survival rates when compared to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). First-line TARE is best indicated for both intermediate-stage patients (staged according to the barcelona clinic liver cancer staging classification) who have lesions which respond poorly to TACE due to multiple tumors or a large tumor burden, and for locally advanced-stage patients with solitary tumors, and segmental or lobar portal vein tumor thrombosis. In addition, emerging data have suggested the use of TARE in patients who are classified slightly beyond the Milan criteria regarding radical treatment for downstaging purposes. As a second-line treatment, TARE can also be applied in patients progressing to TACE or sorafenib; a large number of phase II/III trials are ongoing with the purpose of evaluating the best association with systemic therapies. Transarterial radioembolization is very well tolerated and has a low rate of complications which are mainly related to unintended non-target tissue irradiation, including the surrounding liver parenchyma. The complications can be additionally reduced by accurate patient selection and a strict pre-treatment evaluation including dosimetry and assessment of the vascular anatomy. Since a correct treatment algorithm for potential TARE candidates is not clear and standardized, this comprehensive review analyzes the best selection criteria for patients who really benefit from TARE and also the new advances of this therapy, which can be a very important weapon against HCC.

Project description:Many patients with liver malignancies are not candidates for resection, and systemic therapies are often not effective. Radioembolization (RE) is an alternative treatment for this group of patients. The safety and efficacy of RE with yttrium 90 (Y90) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or metastatic colon cancer to the liver have been proven in several studies. However, fewer studies have focussed on the safety and efficacy of RE with Y90 in other extrahepatic primary and secondary liver cancers. The effect on outcomes of concomitant use of Y90 with a systemic therapy is still currently under investigation.A review of the published data on the use of RE as stand-alone, concomitant or sequential with other treatment modalities in HCC and other primary and secondary liver cancer is reported here.RE for the treatment of HCC and other extrahepatic, primary and secondary liver cancer has reasonable efficacy and acceptable toxicities. Definitive studies to establish the role of RE in the treatment of such malignancies are warranted.

Project description:To investigate the impact of radioembolization with yttrium-90 resin microspheres on the regulation of angiogenesis through observation of serial changes in a spectrum of angiogenic markers and other cytokines after therapy.This prospective pilot study enrolled 22 patients with liver-dominant disease deriving from biopsy-proven hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (n = 7) or metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) (n = 15). Circulating angiogenic markers were measured from serum samples drawn at baseline and at time points after therapy ranging from 6 hours to 120 days. Using multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, several classic angiogenesis factors (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], angiopoietin-2 [Ang-2], basic fibroblast growth factor [bFGF], platelet-derived growth factor subunit BB [PDGF-BB], thrombospondin-1 [Tsp-1]) and nonclassic factors (follistatin, leptin, interleukin [IL]-8) were evaluated.Increases in cytokine levels ? 50% over baseline were observed in more than half of all patients studied for many cytokines, including classic angiogenic factors such as VEGF, Ang-2, and Tsp-1 as well as nonclassic factors IL-8 and follistatin (range, 36%-82% for all cytokines). Baseline cytokine levels in patients with overall survival (OS) < 6 months differed significantly from patients with longer survival for Ang-2 (P = .033) and IL-8 (P = .041). Patients with OS ? 6 months exhibited transient increases in VEGF and PDGF-BB after therapy compared with patients with OS > 6 months.Radioembolization is associated with early transient increases in many angiogenic cytokines. In this small sample size, some of these changes were associated with worse OS. This research has important implications for future studies of radioembolization with antiangiogenic therapy performed during and after the procedure.
