- A retrospective multicenter study evaluated transarterial radioembolization for liver metastases from gallbladder carcinoma.
- The study included 16 patients, mostly pretreated with chemotherapy and often having extrahepatic metastases.
- Radioembolization achieved hepatic disease control in 81.8% of patients at 3 months, with median overall survival of 7.1 months.
- Procedure-related complications were rare, indicating radioembolization is feasible and well tolerated in this patient group.
- Given the small sample size, these exploratory findings require confirmation in prospective studies.
