    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Radiology
    • Oncology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Transcatheter intra-arterial therapies are gaining renewed interest due to advancements in chemotherapy drugs and percutaneous catheter placement techniques.
    • These methods have demonstrated efficacy across a range of malignancies, including carcinomas of the liver, bladder, prostate, uterus, ovary, and lung, as well as sarcomas, melanomas, and brain tumors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the applications and effectiveness of transcatheter intra-arterial therapies, including chemotherapy infusion, embolization, and chemoembolization, in cancer management.
    • To highlight the potential of these minimally invasive techniques in improving outcomes for patients with various solid tumors and metastatic disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Intra-arterial chemotherapy infusion using new drugs and drug combinations.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Embolization of tumor arterial supply to induce ischemia.
  • Chemoembolization combining chemotherapy infusion with embolization using microencapsulated agents, liposomes, or drug-eluting particles.
  • Intra-arterial immunotherapy with bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG).

    • Main Results:

    • Hepatic artery embolization showed a median survival of 11.5 months in 100 liver neoplasm patients.
    • Renal artery embolization resulted in a response in 28 of 100 patients with pulmonary metastases from kidney cancer.
    • Arterial embolization led to a response in 7 of 12 patients with giant cell tumors of the pelvis and spine when other therapies failed.

    Conclusions:

    • Transcatheter intra-arterial therapies, including infusion and embolization, are effective treatment options for diverse cancers.
    • Chemoembolization offers a synergistic approach, integrating infusion and occlusion with significant therapeutic potential.
    • Intra-arterial immunotherapy represents an emerging strategy for managing metastatic disease.
