Yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy for liver metastases following systemic chemotherapy and surgical resection for metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma

摘要

Adrenocortical carcinoma(ACC)is a rare malignancy with generally poor outcomes and limited treatment options.While surgical resection can be curative for early local disease,most patients present with advanced ACC owing to nonspecific symptoms.For those patients,treatment options include systemic chemotherapy and locoregional therapies including radiofrequency ablation and transarterial chemoembolization.We present the first reported case of utilizing yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy(SIRT)in combination with first line EDP-M(Etoposide,Doxorubicin,Cisplatin,Mitotane)chemotherapy and debulking surgical primary tumor resection for treatment of metastatic ACC.Stable complete radiologic response has been maintained after twelve months with resolution of clinical symptoms.These findings prompt the need for further consideration and studies to elucidate the role of SIRT in combination with systemic and surgical treatment for metastatic ACC.
