Transarterial radioembolization: a systematic review on gaining control over the parameters that influence microsphere distribution.

ABSTRACT: [Purpose] Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is an established treatment modality for patients with unresectable liver cancer. However, a better understanding of treatment parameters that influence microsphere distribution could further improve the therapy. This systematic review examines and summarizes the available evidence on intraprocedural parameters that influence the microsphere distribution during TARE as investigated by in vivo, ex vivo, in vitro and in silico studies. [Methods] A standardized search was performed in Medline, Embase and Web of Science to identify all published articles investigating microsphere distribution or dynamics during TARE. Studies presenting original research on parameters influencing the microsphere distribution during TARE were include
