     More details

    Purpose: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the overall survival and prognostic factors of patients
    treated using microballoon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization (B-TACE) with miriplatin for hepatocellular
    carcinoma (HCC).
    Materials and Methods: Thirty-seven patients (23 men and 14 women; mean age, 74.1 years; Barcelona
    Clinic Liver Cancer stage A:21, B:10, C:6; first TACE, 17) treated using B-TACE with miriplatin were retrospectively
    analyzed. Overall survival and progression-free survival were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods,
    and a multivariate analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors. Side effects were analyzed on
    the basis of the National Cancer Institute’s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (ver. 4.0).
    Results: The 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 89.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 74.5-95.9%),
    67.3% (95% CI, 50.7-80.4%), and 60.9% (95% CI, 44.1-75.4%), respectively. The median survival time was
    3.6 years. The median progression-free survival time was 8 months. Balloon increase (increased tumor stain
    under balloon occlusion; hazard ratio, 3.17; 95% CI, 1.135-11.201; P = 0.027) was the only factor significantly
    associated with overall survival on the multivariate analysis. No deaths occurred, but grade 2 cholecystitis
    requiring conservative treatment developed in 2 patients (4.8%). No adverse events over grade 3 occurred.
    Conclusion: B-TACE with miriplatin was associated with comparable tumor control and overall survival
    without severe adverse events in patients with HCC. Balloon increase was the only factor significantly associated
    with overall survival.

    OBJECTIVE
    This study aimed to compare the local control effects of microballoon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization (B-TACE) with miriplatin (MPT) and those of TACE with epirubicin (EPIR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
    MATERIALS AND METHODS
    Fifty-five HCC cases were treated with TACE using EPIR or MPT. Thirty patients (20 men, 10 women; mean age, 74.4 years) were treated using B-TACE with MPT (the MPT-B-TACE group), and 25 patients (15 men, 10 women; mean age, 72.2 years) were treated using TACE with EPIR (the EPIR-TACE group). The local control rates (modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [mRECIST]), time to treatment failures (Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests), and adverse events (AEs) were evaluated.
    RESULTS
    There were no significant differences in gender, age, chronic liver disease etiology, Child-Pugh class, and tumor size between the groups. The tumor multiplicity rate of the EPIR-TACE group was higher than that of the MPT-B-TACE group. The overall AE incidence did not significantly differ between the groups. According to the mRECIST, the objective response rate including complete and partial responses, in the MPT-B-TACE group (90%) was significantly higher than that in the EPIR-TACE group (76%). Overall, local recurrences in the MPT-B-TACE group were significantly lower than in the EPIR-TACE group (p < 0.05). Excluding multiple HCC cases, the local recurrence rate in the MP T-B-TACE group was significantly lower than in the EPIR-TACE group (p < 0.05).
    CONCLUSION
    MPT-B-TACE was associated with a higher objective response rate and lower local recurrence rate than EPIR-TACE, and both showed similar adverse effects.

    Purpose: Most small renal cell carcinomas (small RCCs) will remain indolent after detection, but some stage I RCCs still metastasize. There are no risk-stratification imaging factors that could be used to identify poor-prognosis patients based on genomic profiling. Here, we evaluated the relationships between imaging parameters and RNA expressions in small RCC and attempted to identify imaging factors that could be used as effective biomarkers.

    Methods: We acquired biopsy specimens of 18 clear cell carcinomas that had undergone perfusion CT (pCT) and MRI between April 2018 and March 2019. We performed RNA sequencing, assessed RNA expressions, and calculated each tumor's cell-cycle progression (CCP) score, which has prognostic value in predicting metastatic progression. We classified the tumors into two groups: clear cell type A (ccA) and type B (ccB). CcA has better survival compared to ccB. We evaluated the following characteristics of each tumor: tumor size, presence of pseudocapsule, and fat. We used the pCT and MRI to measure each tumor's volume transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant (Kep), extracellular extravascular volume fraction (VE), fractional plasma volume (VP), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). The correlations between these small RCC imaging parameters and the tumor size and RNA expressions were determined.

    Results: The tumor size was significantly correlated with Kep and inversely correlated with VE, VP, ADC, and hallmark angiogenesis. The CCP score was significantly inversely correlated with Ktrans and Kep. The ccA tumors tended to show a pseudocapsule on MRI.

    Conclusion: Tumor size was correlated with low perfusion, but not with prognostic factors based on genomic profiling. Imaging parameters (e.g., Ktrans and Kep) and tumor characteristics (e.g., pseudocapsule) may enable gene-based risk stratification in small RCC.

    Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) often recurs after chemoradiotherapy, and the prognosis of ESCC after chemoradiotherapy has not improved over the past few decades. The mutation process in chemoradiotherapy-resistant clones and the functional relevance of genetic alterations remain unclear. To address these problems, we performed whole-exome sequencing of 52 tumor samples from 33 patients with ESCC who received radiotherapy combined with 5-fluorouracil/platinum. In multiregion analyses of pretreatment and locally recurrent lesions from five cases, most driver gene-altered clones remained under chemoradiotherapy selection pressure, while few driver gene alterations were acquired at recurrence. The mutation signatures of recurrent ESCC, including increased deletion frequency and platinum dose-dependent base substitution signatures, were substantially different from those of primary ESCC and reflected the iatrogenic impacts of chemoradiotherapy. Single-region analysis of 28 pretreatment tumors indicated that focal copy-number gain at the MYC locus was significantly associated with poor progression-free survival and overall survival after chemoradiotherapy. MYC gain remained throughout the chemoradiotherapy course and potentially contributes to intrinsic resistance to chemoradiotherapy. Consistent with these findings, MYC copy number and mRNA and protein levels in ESCC cell lines correlated positively with resistance to radiotherapy, and MYC knockdown improved sensitivity to radiotherapy. Overall, these data characterize the clonal evolution process induced by chemoradiotherapy and clinically relevant associations for genetic alterations in ESCC. These findings increase our understanding of therapeutic resistance and support the rationale for precision chemoradiotherapy. SIGNIFICANCE: Whole-exome sequencing reveals the genetic evolution of ESCC during chemoradiotherapy, highlighting MYC gain in pretreatment tumors as a potential marker of therapy resistance.

    A 73-year-old woman with portal vein stenosis caused by tumor recurrence after pancreatoduodenectomy was treated with stent placement without embolization of the jejunal varix. Anticoagulation therapy using heparin followed by rivaroxaban was administered after the procedure. She continued to receive systemic chemotherapy as an outpatient. Neither restenosis nor stent thrombosis was observed after 7 months. Based on the presented case and literature review, portal vein stenting is an effective treatment option for jejunal variceal bleeding caused by malignant portal venous stricture after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Antithrombotic therapy following portal venous stenting is required to prevent stent thrombosis in the majority of cases, although it has a risk of inducing recurrent variceal bleeding. Adjunctive jejunal variceal embolization can possibly be omitted in selected cases to obtain sufficient portal-SMV flow reconstruction.

    transarterial chemoembolization (B-TACE) using miriplatin (MPT) and of conventional TACE (CTACE)
    using epirubicin (EPIR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
    Materials and Methods: Thirty-nine patients (24 men, 15 women; mean age, 73.4 years) were treated using
    B-TACE with MPT (MPT-B-TACE group). As a historical comparison, 23 patients (13 men, 10 women;
    mean age, 72.2 years) who were treated using C-TACE with EPIR (EPIR-C-TACE group) were investigated.
    The therapeutic effect within 2 weeks after treatment was compared between the groups based on the Response
    Evaluation Criteria in Cancer of the Liver (RECICL), and time to local recurrence was compared
    based on the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests. The side effects were compared based on the Common
    Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (ver. 4.0).
    Results: No significant differences were noted in patients’ characteristics between the groups. The overall
    incidence of postembolization syndrome was significantly lower in the MPT-B-TACE group than in the
    EPIR-C-TACE group (p<0.05), but two cases in the MPT-B-TACE group developed grade 2 cholecystitis.
    Based on the RECICL, the objective response rate, including TE4 and TE3, within 2 weeks after treatment
    was significantly higher in the MPT-B-TACE group (89.7%) than in the EPIR-C-TACE group (78.3%). Overall,
    local recurrence was significantly less frequent in the MPT-B-TACE group than in the EPIR-C-TACE
    group (p=0.02).
    Conclusion: MPT-B-TACE was associated with a higher objective response rate and lower local recurrence
    rate than EPIR-C-TACE without a significant increase in adverse effects.

    Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP1), the rate-limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis, is reduced in expression in certain cancers where it has been hypothesized to act as a tumor suppressor, including in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we report functional evidence supporting this hypothesis, providing a preclinical rationale to develop FBP1 as a therapeutic target for HCC treatment. Three independent cohorts totaling 594 cases of HCC were analyzed to address clinical significance. Lower FBP1 expression associated with advanced tumor stage, poor overall survival, and higher tumor recurrence rates. In HCC cell lines, where endogenous FBP1 expression is low, engineering its ectopic overexpression inhibited tumor growth and intracellular glucose uptake by reducing aerobic glycolysis. In patient specimens, promoter methylation and copy-number loss of FBP1 were independently associated with decreased FBP1 expression. Similarly, FBP1 downregulation in HCC cell lines was also associated with copy-number loss. HCC specimens exhibiting low expression of FBP1 had a highly malignant phenotype, including large tumor size, poor differentiation, impaired gluconeogenesis, and enhanced aerobic glycolysis. The effects of FBP1 expression on prognosis and glucose metabolism were confirmed by gene set enrichment analysis. Overall, our findings established that FBP1 downregulation in HCC contributed to tumor progression and poor prognosis by altering glucose metabolism, and they rationalize further study of FBP1 as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in HCC patients.

    BACKGROUND:
    Downregulation of paired related homeobox 1 (PRRX1) is associated with the acquisition of cancer stem cell (CSC)-like properties and poor prognosis in cancers. The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of PRRX1 expression in predicting prognosis and mediating CSC-like properties in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

    METHODS:
    The association between PRRX1 expression and overall survival (OS) of patients with HCC was analyzed in three independent datasets: 62 resected primary cases, 242 cases from GSE14520, and 162 cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). A cell line expressing PRRX1 (HuH7) was established for the functional analyses. The ability to form spheres, the expression levels of the hepatic CSC surface markers (CD13, CD133, and EpCAM), in vitro chemosensitivity to 5-fluorouracil (FU), and radiosensitivity were evaluated.

    RESULTS:
    Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the 5-year OS of the low PRRX1 expression group was significantly poorer than that of the high PRRX1 expression group (P = 0.024 and P = 0.045, respectively). Consistent with this, the low PRRX1 expression group in GSE14520 and TCGA datasets showed significantly shorter OS (P = 0.027 and P = 0.010, respectively). Gene set enrichment analysis on GSE14520 and TCGA datasets indicated that downregulation of PRRX1 was correlated with the stemness signature. The number of spheres and the expression levels of CSC markers were significantly decreased when PRRX1 was expressed. Moreover, PRRX1 impaired resistance to 5-FU and radiation.

    CONCLUSIONS:
    Downregulation of PRRX1 expression contributes to the poor prognosis of patients with HCC through acquisition of CSC-like properties.

    Mitochondria are important cellular organelles that function as control centers of the energy supply for highly proliferative cancer cells and regulate apoptosis after cancer chemotherapy. Cisplatin is one of the most important chemotherapeutic agents and a key drug in therapeutic regimens for a broad range of solid tumors. Cisplatin may directly interact with mitochondria, which can induce apoptosis. The direct interactions between cisplatin and mitochondria may account for our understanding of the clinical activity of cisplatin and development of resistance. However, the basis for the roles of mitochondria under treatment with chemotherapy is poorly understood. In this review, we present novel aspects regarding the unique characteristics of the mitochondrial genome in relation to the use of platinum-based chemotherapy and describe our recent work demonstrating the importance of the mitochondrial transcription factor A (mtTFA) expression in cancer cells.

    PURPOSE:
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate, retrospectively, the clinical efficacy of preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with systemic chemotherapy for unresectable hepatoblastoma.
    MATERIALS AND METHODS:
    Five boys and three girls (mean age 15.2 months) were treated with preoperative TACE combined with systemic chemotherapy for unresectable hepatoblastomas. Mean tumor diameter and mean alfa-fetoprotein (AFP) level were 11.8 cm and 549,386 ng/mL, respectively. Pretreatment, the extent of disease (PRETEXT) was: II, 1; III, 6; IV, 1. For all patients, preoperative systemic chemotherapy was administered before TACE. At each TACE, carboplatin and adriamycin mixed with iodized oil were infused into the feeding arteries. Tumor response and prognosis after treatment were evaluated.
    RESULTS:
    TACE resulted in few Grade 1 adverse effects (AEs), without G3 or more AEs, according to CTACAE 3.0. Mean tumor shrinkage was 60.9 %, and the mean AFP decrease from initial levels was 94.8 %. In all cases TACE combined with systemic chemotherapy enabled subsequent safe and complete surgical resection. After a mean follow-up of 59 months, tumor-free survival was 75 %.
    CONCLUSION:
    Preoperative TACE combined with systemic chemotherapy was effective in inducing surgical resectability of unresectable hepatoblastoma.

    Hemothorax due to rupture of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a very rare complication with high mortality because of uncontrollable hemorrhage. A 71-year-old man treated by transcatheter arterial embolization for HCC with massive bleeding from chest wall metastasis is reported. Enhanced computed tomography and selective intercostal angiogram showed a hypervascular mass in the right chest wall and extravasation of contrast agent. After successful transcatheter arterial embolization with gelatin sponge particles and metallic coils, the patient recovered from shock without major complication. To our knowledge, a successfully treated case of hemothorax due to rupture of metastatic HCC has not previously been described.

    AIM:

    To evaluate the complications and clinical outcomes of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for symptoms related to severe arterioportal fistulas (APFs).

    METHODS:

    Six patients (3 males, 3 females; mean age, 63.8 years; age range, 60-71 years) with chronic liver disease and severe APFs due to percutaneous intrahepatic treatment (n = 5) and portal vein (PV) tumor thrombosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 1) underwent TAE for symptoms related to severe APFs [refractory ascites (n = 4), hemorrhoidal hemorrhage (n = 1), and hepatic encephalopathy (n = 1)]. Control of symptoms related to APFs and complications were evaluated during the follow-up period (range, 4-57 mo).

    RESULTS:

    In all patients, celiac angiography revealed immediate retrograde visualization of the main PV before TAE, indicating severe APF. Selective TAE for the hepatic arteries was performed using metallic coils (MC, n = 4) and both MCs and n-butyl cyanoacrylate (n = 2). Three patients underwent repeated TAEs for residual APFs and ascites. Four patients developed PV thrombosis after TAE. During the follow-up period after TAE, APF obliteration and symptomatic improvement were obtained in all patients.

    CONCLUSION:

    Although TAE for severe APFs may sometimes be complicated by PV thrombosis, TAE can be an effective treatment to improve clinical symptoms related to severe APFs.

    Abstract

    PURPOSE:

    We evaluated the relationships between pre-procedural radiological findings and short-term pain relief in patients with osteoporotic compression fractures after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).

    MATERIALS AND METHODS:

    A retrospective review of pre-procedural radiological images of 156 patients with painful osteoporotic compression fracture was performed. Pain was measured with a visual analogue scale (VAS). Complete pain relief was defined as a VAS pain score of 0 or 1 at 3 months after PVP. Statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationship between the pre-procedural imaging factors and pain relief using Pearson's chi-squared test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was also performed.

    RESULTS:

    Complete pain relief was obtained in 45.5% of patients. An intravertebral cleft larger than half the height of the fractured vertebral body (FVB) was a significant key factor in the complete pain relief group after 3 months. Further, ≥40% of the spinal canal occupied by bony fragments of the FVB was related to incomplete pain relief.

    CONCLUSION:

    A large intravertebral cleft was a favorable short-term outcome predictor in patients with osteoporotic compression fractures after PVP, while severe protrusion of the FVB causing lumbar spinal canal stenosis was not a favorable short-term outcome predictor of complete pain relief.

    A case of esophageal lymphangioma in a 75-year-old man who complained of worsening dysphagia is presented. Endoscopic ultrasound showed an echogenic pattern of honeycomb or grid-like multiple microcysts within the submucosa. The sagittal image of computed tomography showed a thickened esophageal wall and fluid retention in the proximal esophageal lumen. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a high signal intensity mass with a septate-like internal structure on T2-weighted imaging and short tau inversion recovery. The tumor was completely resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection. Esophageal lymphangioma is a rare submucosal tumor that can be precisely diagnosed by CT and/or MRI.

    <p>In response to the recommendation by the International Commission on Radiological Protection to lower the equivalent eye dose limit, the Japanese Government in April 2021 lowered the equivalent dose limit for the eye lens for occupational exposure. A considerable number of interventional radiology operators are exposed to levels above the new limit. For this reason, a need exists to more accurately evaluate eye lens dose in interventional radiology operators by using a novel direct eye dosimeter, the DOSIRIS™ (IRSN, France), which is capable of measuring a 3-mm dose equivalent under protective glasses. The DOSIRIS is a thermoluminescent dosimeter that exhibits good energy dependence and better directional properties than other dosimeters. Dosimetry using DOSIRIS might be accurate and compatible with the latest regulations.</p>

    We designed a phase I trial to investigate the safety, immune responses and clinical benefits of a five-peptide cancer vaccine in combination with chemotherapy. Study subjects were patients positive for HLA-A2402 with locally advanced, metastatic, and/or recurrent gastrointestinal, lung or cervical cancer. Eighteen patients including nine cases of colorectal cancer were treated with escalating doses of cyclophosphamide 4days before vaccination. Five HLA-A2402-restricted, tumor-associated antigen (TAA) epitope peptides from KOC1, TTK, URLC10, DEPDC1 and MPHOSPH1 were injected weekly for 4weeks. Treatment was well tolerated without any adverse events above grade 3. Analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes showed that the number of regulatory T cells dropped from baseline after administration of cyclophosphamide and confirmed that TAA-specific T cell responses were associated significantly with longer overall survival. This phase I clinical trial demonstrated safety and promising immune responses that correlated with vaccine-induced T-cell responses. Therefore, this approach warrants further clinical studies.

    Plexiform fibromyxoma is a relatively new pathological category that consists of a rare group of non-gastrointestinal stromal tumors with a peculiar plexiform growth pattern. We report a case of gastric plexiform fibromyxoma in a 60-year-old man. Gastroscopic examination revealed a gastric submucosal tumor in the antrum. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a nodule with distinct signal hyperintensity on T2-weighted images, with strong enhancement peripherally in the early phase to the entire lesion in the delayed phase. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology was performed, and the cytological diagnosis was spindle cell tumor, so partial gastrectomy was performed under a preoperative diagnosis of GIST. The resected tumor demonstrated plexiform architecture, myxoid stroma, prominent vasculature, and spindle cells, reflecting the characteristic findings on MRI. This is the first report to describe radiological findings for gastric plexiform fibromyxoma.

    Radiation-induced cataracts secondary to occupational exposure represent a recently recognized entity. Recent study reported that occupational eye doses from Interventional radiological procedures have the potential to exceed the new International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) equivalent dose limit 20 mSv/year, particularly if no eye lens protective equipment is always used. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the occupational eye dose and eye protection. DOSIRIS™ can estimate the 3mm dose-equivalent (Hp(3)), and it can be stuck just lateral to the left eye under lead glass. In this article, we introduce the fundamental characteristics of the DOSIRIS™ and report recent monitoring occupational eye doses estimated using DOSIRIS™ during TACE for HCC.

    Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shielding effect of a novel tungsten-containing glove during interventional radiology.
    Methods: A total of 29 interventional radiological procedures performed by single operator were studied over the 3-month period. To measure the skin dose equivalent to the finger of operator and investigate the shielding effect of Radio-Protective Glove, radiophotoluminescent glass ring dosimeters (RPRD, Hp(0.07)) were placed at the middle and ring fingers of the left hand, with and without tungsten-containing rubber shielding, respectively. Additionally, to compare the skin dose equivalent of neck and finger, radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeters (RPGD Hp(10) and Hp(0.07)) and personal pocket dosimeter (real-time dosimeter, Hp(10)) were worn on neck over neck lead guard.
    Results: The average radiation exposure dose per month was 0.45 mSv, 1.33 mSv, 1.7 mSv and 3.03 mSv, personal pocket dosimeter, RPGD at neck, RPRD at middle finger with shielding and RPRD at ring finger without shielding, respectively. The skin dose equivalent of finger was higher than skin dose of neck. The skin dose equivalent for the finger exposure was reduced by approximately 44% using the Radio-Protective Glove. Conclusions: Novel tungsten-containing glove had excellent radiation shielding ability against x rays. The skin dose equivalent of neck was underestimated compared to finger dose. The skin dose equivalent of finger might not exceed the annual skin dose limit (500mSv), however, ring dosimeter at finger and Radio-Protective Glove might be necessary, especially in high volume center of interventional radiology.

    OBJECTIVE:
    Recently, microballoon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization (B-TACE) was developed in Japan, B-TACE induce dense lipidol accumulation in targeted hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) nodules. However, to the best of our knowledge, no comparison study has yet analyzed outcomes after B-TACE and TACE with drug-eluting-bead (DEB-TACE) in patients with HCC. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety associated with B-TACE versus DEB-TACE for large (maximal diameter > 5 cm) and intermediate-stage HCCs.
    MATERIALS AND METHODS:
    This retrospective study involved naïve 35 patients with large and intermediate-stage HCCs who underwent B-TACE (n = 18) or DEB-TACE (n = 17) between April 2013 and May 2016. The decision between B-TACE and DEB-TACE was based on patient choice. Local control of largest tumor 3months after TACE, overall survival (OS) and adverse events (AEs) were compared between the two groups.
    RESULTS:
    The median duration of follow-up was 19 months (range, 8-48 months). Objective response rate analyzed with modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) was 38.9% after B-TACE and 52.9% after DEB-TACE (P = 0.039). No significant differences could be detected between the B-TACE and DEB-TACE groups with regard to median OS analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method (28 versus 30 months, respectively; p=0.08). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates were 72.2, 62.4, and 42.8%, respectively, for the B-TACE and 82.4, 50.2, and 31.4%, respectively, for the DEB-TACE group. Hepatic dysfunction of grade 3 related DEB-TACE occurred in one patient and rate of AEs after DEB-TACE tended to be higher than B-TACE.
    CONTCLUSION:
    For the treatment of patients with large and intermediate-stage HCCs, DEB-TACE provided better tumor responses in comparison with B-TACE, which in turn DEB-TACE did not seem to improve survival in comparison with B-TACE.

    ミリプラチンはC-TACEにおいて、その粘調度の高さから、十分な注入が困難で、塞栓不足等による高頻度の局所再発が報告されている。B-TACEは、引き込み効果や押し込み効果により、ミリプラチン使用TACEでも、比較的良好な局所制御の報告が多い。我々の施設においても、2012年より、肝細胞癌に対する血管内治療として、ミリプラチンを使用したマイクロバルーン閉塞下肝動脈化学塞栓療法(B-TACE)を主体に施行し、許容範囲内の局所制御、比較的軽微な有害事象を報告してきた。更なるB-TACEの局所制御能向上のため、最初はバルーン非閉塞下のC-TACEを行い、Lipiodolの停滞を認めた時点で、バルーン閉塞下のB-TACEを施行するC-TACEとB-TACEを組み合わせたCombined conve ntional and B-TACE(Combined-B-TACE)を2013年からは施行し有効症例を比較的多く経験する。Combined-B-TACEは、標的病変を含む治療域のバルーン閉塞による血行動態等の大きな影響を受けることなく、良好なLipiodol集積が得られ、従来のB-TACEのみを行うSimple-B-TACEよりも局所制御能が高い傾向にあることを報告してきた。ただし、5cm以上の肝細胞癌では、Combined-B-TACE施行直後十分なリピオドール沈着が確認されたにもかかわらず早期再発症例も散見され治療に難渋する症例を経験する。本発表では、自件例のみの限られた症例数ではあるが、Combined-B-TACEの中期治療成績を示し、当施設におけるミリプラチン使用Combined-B-TACEとマイクロスフィアによるdrug-eluting bead(DEB)-TACEの治療法選択や治療法変更に関する報告をさせていただく。

    As minimally invasive procedures in vascular Interventional Radiology (IR) are increasingly adopted and becoming more complex, many IR procedures can result in clinically significant radiation doses to patients and to the physicians and paramedical staff in room. The radiation protection of both patients and medical stuffs is of particular concern. Radiation-induced cataracts secondary to occupational exposure represent a recently recognized entity. In 2011, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommended reduction the occupational exposure dose limit for the eye lens to 20 mSv/y. However, NRA (Nuclear Regulation Authority, Japan) does not respond to these newly introduced criteria. The NRA considers the action to respond to new criteria for lens of eyes applicable to occupational exposure as introduced in the IAEA safety standard. Recent study reported that occupational eye doses from IR procedures have the potential to exceed the new ICRP equivalent dose limit, particularly if no eye lens protective equipment is always used. Therefore, radiologists are supposed to play a pivotal role for the radiation dose reduction during IR procedures. In this symposium, I would like to emphasize the importance of patients’ dose reduction trial and reliable measurement of operators’ eye dose by using DOSIRIS [direct monitoring of eye lens dose in terms of Hp(3)]under lead glass during IR procedures through my clinical experience and previous studies.

    Objective This study aimed to evaluate the occupational eye doses estimated using novel direct eye dosimeter (DOSIRIS, 3mm dose equivalent, Hp(3)) during transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for HCC and to investigate possible number of TACE procedures/y within current dose limit of 20 mSv/y.
    M&M The measurements of eye doses [Hp(3)]were carried out for 3 Interventional radiologists (IR) (IR1 operator with lead glass and ceiling mounted lead glass screen, IR2 operator without lead glass and with ceiling mounted lead glass screen, IR3 operator without lead glass and ceiling mounted lead glass screen) performing 132 TACE procedures using DOSIRIS. For protective lead devices, wraparound type lead glass eye wear (0.07mmPb) and ceiling mounted lead glass screen are used. To measure the occupational eye dose, DOSIRIS was stuck just lateral to the left eye under lead glass and without lead glass. We calculated the eye dose per TACE procedures and possible number of TACE procedures/ y within current dose limit of 20 mSv/y for each operators.
    Result The mean fluoroscopy time, air kerma and dose area product/TACE were 38.2min, 1.45Gy and 200587mGy・cm2, respectively. The eye dose per TACE procedure for 1,2, and 3 operator were 34.8, 72.2, and 240μSv, respectively. The eye dose of IR1 with protective lead devices was significantly lower than IR without protective lead devices (IR3). Possible number of TACE procedures /y within ICRP recommended dose limit of 20 mSv/y for 1, 2, and 3 operator were 574, 277, and 83, respectively.
    Conclusion The eye dose limit of 20mSv/y may be exceeded in IR operators who do not use protective lead glasses and ceiling mounted lead glass screen. For complying with ICRP recommendation, protective lead devices and correct evaluation of the eye dose using direct eye dosimeter (Hp(3)) under protective lead glasses might be needed.

    近年、肝炎ウィルスの治療成績の向上に伴い肝細胞癌患者は減少傾向であるが、依然として、放射線科医が関与するIVRにおいて、肝細胞癌に対するTACEは、比較的多くを占めている。TACEの治療成績向上かつマンパワーや時間的に効率的な治療を遂行していくためには、術前・術中の画像診断および積極的に新たなデバイスや薬剤、医療材料を使用していくことが、非常に重要と考えられる。
    B-TACEは、2012年頃より本邦において、入江先生らにより肝細胞癌に対して施行されており、近年、比較的良好な局所制御能を報告する文献が散見される。我々もB-TACE治療成績を報告しており、過去のTACEに関する報告と同程度の局所制御能で、許容範囲だが、全生存期間(OS)を延長できる可能性を報告している。
    また、2014年より本邦でも臨床使用可能となった球状塞栓物質使用したDEB-TACEの有効性、 有害事象、先行する海外報告の治療成績等との相違等が報告されている。我々の施設においても、両葉多発症例、5cm 以上の比較的大きな肝細胞癌、従来のリピオドールを使用した TACE 後の難治症例に対して、DEB-TACE施行している。大型肝細胞癌症例では、 従来の リピオドールを使用した TACE と比較して、塞栓後症候群を含んだ 有害事象は軽く、治療効果に関しても、経過観察画像において、十分な治療効果が確認可能で、大型肝細胞癌に対して、 DEB-TACEを施行することは、多くの先生方に賛同得られるものと考えられる。両葉多発症例では、DEB-TACEによりCRが得られる症例は、かなり限られているが、PR,SDを維持可能症例もある。
    HCCに対するTACEでは、5cm以下のHCCでは、初回は、B-TACEを、大きなHCCや両葉多発症例にはDEB-TACEを施行し、以後On demandのB-TACEの DEB-TACEを組み合わせることで、肝機能低下も許容範囲内で、長期生存が得られる症例もあり、本発表では、肝細胞癌に対するバルーン閉塞下TACE(B-TACE)や球状塞栓物質使用TACE(DEB-TACE)と関連する画像診断、支援ソフトを用いた役立つ術中画像等について、症例を中心に概説させていただきます。

    Objective This study aimed to evaluate the occupational eye doses estimated using novel direct eye dosimeter (DOSIRIS, 3-mm dose equivalent, Hp(3)) during transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for HCC and to investigate possible number of TACE procedures y-1 within current dose limit of 20 mSv y-1. M&M The eye doses [Hp(3)] of 3 Interventional radiology(IR) operators (1 operator with lead glass and ceiling mounted lead glass screen, 2 operator without lead glass and with ceiling mounted lead glass screen, 3 operator without lead glass and ceiling mounted lead glass screen) were recorded using DOSIRIS. 96 TACE procedures were included in this study. For eye protective equipment, wraparound type lead glass eye wear (0.07mmPb) are used. To measure the occupational eye dose, DOSIRIS was stuck just lateral to the left eye under lead glass and without lead glass. We calculated the eye dose per TACE procedures and possible number of TACE procedures y-1 within current dose limit of 20 mSv y-1for each operators. Result The mean fluoroscopy time, air kerma and dose area product were 38.1 min, 1.62 Gy and 183.2 Gy cm2, respectively. The eye dose per TACE procedure for 1,2, and 3 operator were 35.9μSv, 76.2μSv, and 236.4μSv, respectively. Possible number of TACE procedures y-1 for 1, 2, and 3 operator were 557, 262, and 85, respectively. Conclusion The eye dose limit of 20mSv y-1 may be exceeded in IR operators who do not use protective lead glasses and ceiling mounted lead glass screen. Correct evaluation of the eye dose (Hp(3)) using direct eye dosimeter might be needed.

    Objective This study aimed to compare the occupational eye doses estimated using novel direct eye dosimeter (DOSIRIS) and film badge during transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and to investigate possible number of TACE procedures y-1. M&M Thirty six HCC cases (17 men, 19 women; mean age, 76.4 years) treated with TACE over a 6-month period were included in this study. For eye protective equipment, wraparound type lead glass eye wear (0.07mmPb) are used. The personal film badge dosimeter (Hp(0.07)) stuck on the left side of the cap and DOSIRIS (Hp(3)) was stuck just lateral to the left eye under lead glass to measure the occupational eye dose. We calculated the cumulative 6-month eye dose and realistic eye dose per TACE procedures. RESULTS The mean fluoroscopy time, air kerma and dose area product were 40.9 min, 2.09 Gy and 129.8 Gy cm2, respectively. The cumulative 6-month eye dose and eye dose per procedure on DOSIRIS was 1.4 mSv and 38. 9μSv, respectively. Legal cumulative 6-month eye dose and eye dose per procedure estimated on film badge was 2.4 mSv and 66.7μSv, respectively. Possible number of TACE procedures y-1 within current dose limit of 20 mSv y-1 estimated on DOSIRIS and film badge was 514 and 300, respectively.CONCLUSION The new eye dose limit of 20mSv y-1 may be exceeded in interventional radiological physicians who do not wear protective lead glasses. Correct evaluation of the eye dose (Hp(3)) using novel direct eye dosimeter might be needed.

    This study aimed to estimate lens doses using film badge and electronic pocket dosimeter and to investigate correlations between occupational lens doses and patient doses during transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma.

    METHOD AND MATERIALS
    Fifty eight HCC cases (31 men, 27 women; mean age, 74.4 years, mean BMI, 25.5) treated with TACE (Lipiodol-TACE: 53, DEB-TACE: 5) were included in this study. The DSA machine was equipped with a 16-inch flat-panel detector. For eye lens protective equipment, the ceiling-mounted lead screen and wraparound type lead glass eyewear (0.07mmPb, calculation-based correction factor: 0.5) are used. The both film badge dosimeter (radiophotoluminescence glass dosimeter (RGDs), Hp(10 and 0.07)) and electronic pocket dosimeter(Silicon semiconductor detector, Hp(10)) were stuck on the left side of the cap to measure the maximum eye dose. Eye lens dose were estimated from measured radiation dose on both dosimeters. Additionally, dose area product (DAP), air kerma(AK) and fluoroscopy time of each TACE procedures were recorded from DSA machine.

    RESULTS
    The mean fluoroscopy time, AK and DAP were 38.1 min, 1.21Gy and 297.7 Gy cm2, respectively. The unprotected eye lens dose per procedure measured on film badge tended to be higher than that of pocket dosimeter (65.5μSv vs. 26.4μSv), respectively. The protected eye lens dose per procedure on film badge tended to be higher than that of pocket dosimeter (32.75μSv vs. 13.2μSv), respectively. Estimated eye dose per unit DAP on pocket dosimeter and film badge was 0.89μSvGy-1cm-2 and 2.21μSvGy-1cm-2, respectively.The current dose limit of 20 mSv /year can be reached for 305 and 610 TACE procedures /y for the operator without and with lead glass eyewear, respectively.

    CONCLUSION
    The current dose limit of 20 mSv /year can be reached for a few hundreds of TACE procedures /y without lead glass eyewear. Occupational eye doses from interventional radiology procedures have the potential to exceed the new ICRP equivalent dose limit, particularly if no eye lens protective equipment is always used.

    我々の施設においては、肝細胞癌に対する血管内治療として、マイクロバルーン閉塞下肝動脈化学塞栓療法(B-TACE)を主体に行っており、B-TACEは、肝細胞癌に対する局所制御能が、比較的良好な局所制御能を有することを報告してきた。ただし、有効症例のみならず早期再発症例も散見され、バルーンの位置や血行動態の変化の程度等の局所制御能に関する様々な交絡因子も最近報告されている。B-TACEの局所制御能向上のため、最初はバルーン非閉塞下のC-TACEを行い、Lipiodolの停滞を認めた点で、バルーン閉塞下のB-TACEを施行するC-TACEとB-TACEを組み合わせたcombined conventional and B-TACE(Combined-B-TACE)を施行し、従来のB-TACEのみを行うSimple-B-TACEよりも局所制
    御能が高い傾向にあることを報告してきた。Combined-B-TACE施行後の局所制御不良症例の経験から、5cm以上のHCCや両葉多発症例対しては、マイクロスフィアによるdrug-eluting bead(DEB)-TACEを施行している。今回は、自件例のみの限られた症例数ではあるが、Combined-B-TACEとDEB-TACEの使い分けと局所制御能の比較や各残存病変、再発病変への対処等に関する考察を報告させていただく。

    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to estimate lens doses using film badges and ele ctronic pocket dosimeters and to investigate correlations between occupation al lens doses and patient doses during TACE for hepatocellular carcinoma. M ATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty HCC cases (37 men; mean age, 73.8 years) treated with TACE were included in this study. The DSA machine was equipped with a 16-inch flat-panel detector. The operators wear protective aprons and thyroi d collars. For eye lens protective equipment, wraparound type lead glass eye wear (0.07 mmPb, calculation-based correction factor: 0.5) were used. Both t he film badge dosimeter (Hp(0.07)) and electronic pocket dosimeter (Hp(10)) were stuck on the left side of the cap to measure the maximum eye dose. Eye lens doses were estimated from measured radiation doses on both dosimeters.
    Additionally, the dose area product (DAP), air kerma (AK), and fluoroscopy t ime of each TACE procedure were recorded from the DSA machine. RESULTS: The mean fluoroscopy time, AK, and DAP were 39.7 min, 1.28Gy, and 307.7Gy cm <SU
    P>2#UR, respectively. The measured doses on the pocket dosimeter and
    P>esti
    mated eye lens dose per procedure tended to be higher than that of the film badge (84.9 vs. 64.4 and 42.5 vs. 32.2 (&mu;Sv)), respectively. The estimate d eye dose per unit DAP on the pocket dosimeter and film badge were 0.28 and
    0.21 &mu;SvGy-1cm-2, respectively. CONCLUSION: The r esults show that the current dose limit of 20 mSv y -1 can be rea ched for 621 TACE procedures y -1 for the operator when the eye l ens protective equipment is always used.

    OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate patient radiation dose reduction, during transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with drug-eluting bead (DEB) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) while maintaining treatment effect (TE), adverse events(AE) and the image quality (IQ), using a new our clinical trial of radiation dose reduction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety HCC cases treated with DEB-TACE were included in this study. Forty five patients (30 men, 15 women; mean age, 71.6 years) were treated under normal mode(the normal group), and 45 patients (28 men, 17 women; mean age, 70.8 years) were treated under radiation reduction mode using reduction filter (0.4mmCu+1.0mmAl), half frame rate and reduction of detector dose rate (the reduction group). Dose area product (DAP), air kerma (AK) and radiation time of each digital fluoroscopy (DF) were compared between the two groups. IQ of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and digital angiography (DA) during infusion of DEB was assessed by two blinded and independent readers on a four-rank scale. RESULTS There were no significant differences in patient's characteristics and tumor burden between the groups. The overall adverse events relating DEB-TACE did not significantly differ between the groups. Fluoroscopy time were equivalent between the groups. Compared to the normal group, in the reduction group, AK and DAP could be significantly reduced by 65.4% (2.63 Gy vs. 1.72 Gy, p<0.05) and 69.2% (48300 mGy cm2 vs. 33400 mGy cm2, p<0.05), respectively. TE, AEs and IQ were rated comparable between the groups. CONCLUSION: Our simple trial of radiation dose reduction during DEB-TACE for HCC could reduce to almost 65% level recorded in the normal mode without negative impact on treatment effect, image quality and severe adverse events. IR doctors should review default setting of own angiography system and DEB-TACE procedure.

    我々は、肝細胞癌に対するC-TACEとマイクロバルーン閉塞下肝動脈化学塞栓療法(B-TACE)を組み合わせたcombined conventional and B-TACE(Combined-B-TACE)が、従来のB-TACEのみを行うよりも、バルーン閉塞前後の血行動態の変化にかかわらず、局所制御能が高い傾向にあることを報告してきた。これは、従来示されているB-TACEの引き込み効果よりB-TACEの押し込み効果が高い局所制御の重要な要因である可能性があると考えられる。今回、Combined-B-TACE において、B-TACEの押し込み効果の有効性を再検討した。対象は、過去Combined-B-TACEを施行した症例のうち、C-TACEおよびB-TACE直後のCTが撮影された40症例(男性20例,平均年齢74歳)。治療法は、C-TACEを行い、栄養血管内でリピオドールの停滞を認めた時点で、単純CTを撮影後、B-TACEを施行し単純CTを撮影する。評価方法は、各TACE直後のCTにおいて、標的結節のリピオドールの沈着程度を、4段階評価した。Grade1:標的結節の50%以下の沈着,Grade2:1と3の間,Grade3:75%-100%,Grade4:標的結節全体および周囲肝実質へのdenseな沈着や周囲門脈への沈着。3ヵ月後の局所制御能, CTCAEVer3.0を用いた有害事象(AEs) も評価した。結果:Grade3以上のAE は、Grade3の胆嚢炎を1例で認めた。各TACE直後のCTでの薬剤沈着程度C-TACE:G1/2/3/4:7/14/17/2, B-TACE:G1/2/3/4:0/0/9/31。3ヵ月後の局所制御能は82. 5%であった.結論Combined-B-TACEは、B-TACEの高い押し込み効果により比較的高い制御能を有していると考えられる。

    OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the local control effects of microbal loon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization (B-TACE) and those of Combined conventional and B-TACE (C-B-TACE) with miriplatin (MPT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty HCC cases treated with first T ACE using MPT were included in this study. Sixteen patients (11 men, 5 women ; mean age, 66.3 years) were treated using C-B-TACE with MPT (the C-B-TACE g roup), and 44 patients (28 men, 16 women; mean age, 74.2 years) were treated using B-TACE with MPT (the B-TACE group). The local control rates (modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [mRECIST]), time to local recu rrences (Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests), and adverse events (AEs) were eva luated. RESULTS There were no significant differences in patient's character istics between the groups. The overall AE incidence did not significantly di ffer between the groups. According to the mRECIST, the objective response ra te including complete and partial responses one week after treatment and loc al control rate 3 months after treatment did not significantly differ betwee n the groups C-B-TACE group (92.3% and 84.6%, respectively) and the B-TACE g roup (90.9% and 88.6%, respectively). Overall, local recurrences 6 months af ter treatment in the C-B-TACE group tended to be lower than in the B-TACE gr oup without statistical significance. CONCLUSION C-B-TACE tended to be assoc iated with lower local recurrence rate than B-TACE, and both showed similar adverse effects.

    低血流の肝細胞癌への通常TACEでは、薬剤集積に難渋する症例を経験するが、マイクロバルーン閉塞下TACE(B-TACE)でも、良好なリピオドール(LPD)沈着が得られる症例も、決して多くはない。今回、バルーン閉塞による血行動態変化をCTAで確認し、低血流肝細胞癌ながらB-TACEによる良好なLPD沈着が得られた症例を経験したので、B-TACE中の動画を含めて報告させていただくと共に、低血流肝細胞癌に対するTACE治療効果向上への突破口としたい。
    症例は、80歳台女性。C型慢性肝炎にて経過観察中、肝S4/8ドーム下に2㎝弱の血流豊富な部分と低血流部分を有する肝細胞癌を認めた。ミリプラチン(MPT)+LPD懸濁液使用したB-TACEを施行し、良好なLPD集積を認めた。10か月後のCTで、LPDのwashoutを認めたが、造影CTおよびGd-EOB-DTPA造影MRIでも血流を確認できなかった。拡散強調画像にて病変部は高信号を呈し、腫瘍マーカーの上昇を認めた。血管造影では、前回治療したA8は、開存しており、バルーン非閉塞下での血管造影およびCTAで、明らかな腫瘍濃染は指摘できなかったが、バルーン閉塞下でのCTAで、AP shunt の顕在化を認め、腫瘍部分に淡い増強効果を認めた。バルーン非閉塞状態でのMPT+LPD懸濁液の注入では、腫瘍への明らかなリピオドールの沈着は指摘できなかったが、B-TACEでは、非閉塞下で認められなかった栄養動脈および腫瘍への良好なLPDの沈着を認めた。治療後のCTでも、良好なLPD沈着が確認された。

    HCCに対するミリプラチン使用マイクロバルーン閉塞下TACE(B-TACE)の比較的良好な局所制御を報告してきた。ただし、バルーン非閉塞下より閉塞下造影で、栄養動脈やstainが、描出不良となる症例を経験する。このため、バルーン非閉塞下のConventional-TACEの方が、B-TACEよりも局所制御良好な症例の存在も予測される。バルーン非閉塞下に引き続き閉塞下でTACE(Combined conventional and B-TACE: C-B-TACE)を12例に施行した。従来のB-TACE(44例)との局所制御、有害事象を後視法的に比較検討した。重篤な有害事象はなく、3か月局所制御率C-B-TACE/B-TACEは、83.3%/88.6%であった。3か月以降の局所制御はC-B-TACEが良好な印象であり、C-B-TACEは、B-TACEよりも良好な局所制御が得られる可能性がある。

    Objective: This study aimed to compare the local control effects of microballoon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization (B-TACE) with miriplatin (MPT) and those of TACE with epirubicin (EPIR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

    MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-five HCC cases were treated with TACE using EPIR or MPT. Forty patients (25 men, 15 women; mean age, 73.4 years) were treated using B-TACE with MPT (the MPT-B-TACE group), and 25 patients (15 men, 10 women; mean age, 72.2 years) were treated using TACE with EPIR (the EPIR-TACE group). The local control rates (modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [mRECIST]), time to local recurrence (Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests), and adverse events (AEs) were evaluated. Statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationship between the patient’s characteristics and local recurrence after MPT-B-TACE using Pearson's Chi-squared test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was also performed.

    RESULTS: There were no significant differences in patient’s characteristics between the groups. The overall AE incidence did not significantly differ between the groups. According to the mRECIST, the objective response rate including complete and partial responses, in the MPT-B-TACE group (92%) was significantly higher than that in the EPIR-TACE group (76%). Overall, local recurrences in the MPT-B-TACE group were significantly lower than in the EPIR-TACE group (p < 0.05). Excluding multiple HCC cases, the local recurrence rate in the MP T-B-TACE group was significantly lower than in the EPIR-TACE group (p < 0.05).
    Local recurrence after MPT-B-TACE was recognized in the 35% patients in the follow-up periods. Tumor size larger than 2cm and tumor number more than three HCCs were significant key factors in the local recurrence after MPT-B-TACE.
    CONCLUSION
    MPT-B-TACE was associated with a higher objective response rate and lower local recurrence rate than EPIR-TACE, and both showed similar adverse effects. Tumor size larger than 2cm and tumor number more than three HCCs were risk factors of the local recurrence after MPT-B-TACE.

The local control rate (modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [mRECIST]), time to treatment failure (Kaplan–Meier and log–rank test) and adverse events (AEs) were evaluated (CTACAE 3.0).
    RESULTS: There were no significant differences in gender, age, etiology of chronic liver disease, Child–Pugh class, and tumor size among the two groups. The rate of Tumor multiplicity and selective TACE procedure for the EPI-TACE group was significantly higher than those for the MPT-B-TACE group (P<0.05).
    No serious adverse events were observed in either group. Overall incidence adverse events was not significantly different between the MPT-B-TACE group (50%) and the EPIR-TACE group (49%, p=0.575). According to the mRECIST criteria, the objective response rate, including complete response (CR) and partial response (PR), in the MPT-B-TACE group (92.9%) was significantly higher than that in the EPIR-TACE group (76%, p=0.02). Overall local recurrence in the MPT-B-TACE group was significantly lower than in the EPIR-TACE (p=0.05). Excluding multiple HCC cases, also, the local recurrence in the MPT-B-TACE group was significantly lower than in the EPIR-TACE group (p=0.04).
    CONCLUSION: B-TACE using miriplatin was associated with an increased objective response rate, low local recurrence rate and comparable adverse effects compared to TACE using epirubicin.

    肝細胞癌に対しては、外科手術、経皮的治療、血管内治療の3つの主な治療法がある。血管内治療は、他2治療が困難な症例に対して、動脈内に抗癌剤や塞栓物質を注入する、いわゆる動脈化学塞栓療法(TACE)であり、その有効性を報告する文献も多い。TACEでは、マイクロカテーテルを用いた選択的TACEが主流であったが、近年、マイクロカテーテルの先端に、小さなバルーンを有するカテーテルが、肝細胞がんの治療に応用されつつある。肝動脈内にて、バルーン拡張し、肝動脈を一時的閉塞状態にすることにより、肝動脈、門脈、肝静脈の血行動態が変化する。肝細胞癌は、動脈多血性腫瘍かつ門脈や肝静脈に腫瘍血流は潅流するため、肝動脈閉塞下の血行動態の変化状態では、通常のTACEよりも、肝細胞癌に対して良好な薬剤集積が認められ、我々も優れた局所制御能を実感している。
    今回、肝細胞癌患者様の予後改善に微力ながら寄与すべく、マイクロバルーン閉塞下TACE (Microballoon-occluded-TACE: B-TACE)の治療法の紹介と治療成績、可能性について報告させていただく。

    PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of cisplatin-based transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) along with systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine in the palliative treatment of unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and to identify factors affecting clinical outcome.

    MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study was approved by the institutional review board, and written informed consent was obtained from all patients.
    Between 2007 and 2011, 13 patients (5 men, 8 women; mean age 70.4 ±2.0 years) with unresectable ICC underwent cisplatin-based TACE alongside systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine. Mean tumor size was 9.8 ± 0.7 cm (range, 6.7–15 cm).The adverse effects (AEs), survival rate and prognostic factors of patient survival were evaluated.
    RESULTS: The mean TACE sessions and cycles of systemic chemotherapy were 3.5 (range: 1-7) and 6.2 (range: 4 -11), respectively. Combined TACE and systemic chemotherapy were followed by few Grade 3 hematological AEs, without G4 AEs, according to CTACAE 3.0. No deaths and no acute liver failure occurred after TACE. According to the RECIST criteria, 23% (3/13) of patients achieved partial response and 46% (6/13) stabilization of disease. The Kaplan- Meier survival analysis showed that the median overall survival and median progression-free survival were 14 [95%CI: 9-16] and 8 [95%CI: 4-9] months, respectively. Results from multivariable Cox regression analyses confirmed that tumor number (hazard ratio [HR], 8.33; P = .004) and Child-Pugh class (HR, 5.34; P = .02) were the independent factors associated with patient survival duration.

    CONCLUSION: Cisplatin-based TACE along with systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine is a safe and effective treatment for patients with unresectable ICC. Multiple tumors and Child-Pugh class B were poor prognostic factors for determining the patient survival period after treatment for unresectable ICC.

    シスプラチン含浸球状塞栓物質使用TACE(DEB-TACE)にて治療した肝細胞癌症例を報告する。症例は60歳代男性。B型慢性肝炎にて経過観察中に肝腫瘤にて紹介となった。肝左葉に胆管浸潤を有する多血性肝細胞癌を認めた。エピルビシン含浸DC beadsにて初回治療を施行し、辺縁および胆管浸潤部分に残存病変を認めた。次に、ミリプラチン使用B-TACCEを施行し、残存病変に比較的良好なLipiodol沈着を認めたが、経過観察CTにて、Vascularityの多くない腫瘍および門脈本幹に及ぶ腫瘍栓を認めた。残存病変に対してマイクロバルーン閉塞下シスプラチン動注後、引き続きシスプラチン含浸ヘパスフィアにてDEB-TACEを行った。治療後のCTにて残存病変の縮小を認めたため、同様の治療を追加した。最終治療12ヵ月後CTにて確認される肝細胞癌は認めず、良好な局所制御が得られていると考えられる。

    In response to the recommendation by the International Commission on Radiological Protection to lower the equivalent eye dose limit, the Japanese Government in April 2021 lowered the equivalent dose limit for the eye lens for occupational exposure. A considerable number of interventional radiology operators are exposed to levels above the new limit. For this reason, a need exists to more accurately evaluate eye lens dose in interventional radiology operators by using a novel direct eye dosimeter, the DOSIRIS™ (IRSN, France), which is capable of measuring a 3-mm dose equivalent under protective glasses. The DOSIRIS is a thermoluminescent dosimeter that exhibits good energy dependence and better directional properties than other dosimeters. Dosimetry using DOSIRIS might be accurate and compatible with the latest regulations.

    進行食道扁平上皮癌に対する化学放射線療法(CRT)は標準治療の一つとされており高い抗腫瘍効果の期待できる低侵襲な治療法であるが、適応を決めるための感受性(抵抗性)の正確な予測は困難である。CRTによる治療成績向上のためには、感受性(抵抗性)に関与する(変異)転写産物を同定しその予測法の確立あるいは感受性を増感するための治療標的としての意義の確立が望まれる。近年、革新的技術であるロングリード・シーケンスの開発によりRNA全長のシーケンスが可能になった。すなわち発がんのドライバーとしてあるいはがん進展に関連する(変異)転写産物が注目されている。

    放射線を使用した画像下治療は手技複雑化等により術者被ばく増加による白内障が懸念される。一方、眼の水晶体等価線量限度に関する医療法施行規則一部改正が2021年4月より施行予定で水晶体等価線量限度低減「5年間の平均で20mSv/年かつ50mSv/年を超えない」と水晶体等価線量評価法の推奨変更「眼の近傍や全面マスクの内側に放射線測定器を装着」とされている。2023年3月までの経過措置はあるものの正確な水晶体等価線量評価と更なる水晶体被ばく防護が必要と考えられる。本研究は、レベルの高い放射線診療を提供しながらも放射線障害防止と法令遵守とを両立した新たな放射線診療体制の整備に貢献可能と考えられる。

    In this research, there was no IR (interventional radiology) operators who evaluated the lens dose with neck glass dosimeter outside protective lead glasses and exceed the new occupational lens dose limit (20 mSv/year, averaged over defined periods of 5 years). In high volume center of IR, however, there may be some IR operators who may exceed the new occupational lens dose limit. The lens dose inside lead glasses which was estimated with the shieling effect and the lens dose of neck dosimeter tended to be lower and underestimated, compared to the eye lens dose by using a novel direct eye dosimeter, the DOSIRIS(Hp(3)) under protective glasses. This underestimated eye lens dose may cause the risk of radiation induced cataracts. Finally, To comply with new limit of eye dose and minimize the radiation-induced risk at the eye lenses, protective lead devices and correct evaluation of the eye dose using direct eye dosimeter like DOSIRIS under protective lead glasses might be needed.

    肝細胞癌に対する局所制御能向上を目的として、2012年よりマイクロバルーンカテーテルを使用してMicroballoon-occluded transarterial chemoembolization (B-TACE) を施行している。主な使用抗癌剤は、ミチプラチンであるが、リピオドールとのsuspensionは、その粘調性の高さから、通常のTACEでは、薬剤、塞栓物質の注入が不十分な症例や治療後のリピオドール早期washout症例をしばしば経験する。肝動脈のマイクロバルーン閉塞により、治療域の血行動態の変化や薬剤、塞栓物質の逸脱を制御することにより、ミリプラチン使用B-TACEで、より良好な局所制御が得られる症例が増加した。今回、我々の施設での、肝細胞癌に対するミリプラチン使用B-TACEの手技や局所制御能について症例を中心に報告させていただく。
