Trans-arterial radioembolization (TARE) is increasingly evaluated for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Not all ICC patients benefit equally well from TARE. Therefore, we sought to evaluate variables predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Patients with non-resectable ICC underwent TARE and were treated with 90Y resin microspheres. Baseline characteristics, biochemical/clinical toxicities, and response were examined for impact on PFS and OS. A total of 103 treatments were administered to 73 patients without major complications or toxicity. Mean OS was 18.9 months (95% confidence intervals (CI); 13.9–23.9 months). Mean and median PFS were 10.1 months (95% CI; 7.9–12.2) and 6.4 months (95% CI; 5.20–7.61), respectively. Median OS and PFS were significantly prolonged in patients with baseline cholinesterase (CHE) ≥4.62 kU/L (OS: 14.0 vs. 5.5 months; PFS: 6.9 vs. 3.2 months; p < 0.001). Patients with a tumor burden ≤25% had a significantly longer OS (15.2 vs. 6.6 months; p = 0.036). Median PFS was significantly longer for patients with multiple TARE cycles (24.4 vs. 5.8 months; p = 0.04). TARE is a considerable and safe option for unresectable ICC. CA-19-9, CHE, and tumor burden have predictive value for survival in patients treated with TARE. Multiple TARE treatments might further improve survival; this has to be confirmed by further studies.

AbstractCholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary hepatic malignancy which accounts for 13% of total cancer mortality worldwide. Surgical resection is the only curative treatment for localized disease; however, the majority of patients present when the tumor is unresectable. The incidence of the intrahepatic subtype of cholangiocarcinoma is increasing worldwide. Current standard of care in patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is systemic chemotherapy; however, yttrium-90 transarterial radioembolization (Y90-TARE) is under investigation for the treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with promising trials and published clinical experience. This review critically evaluates the role of Y90-TARE in the management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
