Abstract:Conclusions: Partial splenic embolization appears to demonstrate a favorable response in the recovery of thrombocytopenia in patients with metastatic disease. Recovery of platelet counts appears to be within a reasonable timeframe and allows for the safe initiation, or continuation, of systemic chemotherapy in this patient cohort with minimal delay to treatment. Overall complication profile is low.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
