Comparison of TACE alone versus TACE combined with synchronous ablation for neuroendocrine neoplasms with liver metastases.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the efficacy and safety between thermal ablation combined with synchronous TACE and TACE in patients with liver metastasis of neuroendocrine tumors of different pathologic grades and different primary sites.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors in this study. The patients were divided into simultaneous ablation group and TACE group according to treatment mode and subgroups. The endpoints of prognosis were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Results

A total of 108 patients with neuroendocrine tumors were collected, including 46 patients in the simultaneous ablation group and 62 patients in the TACE group. According to WHO classification, 21 patients with G1
