Purpose: To evaluate initial response and overall survival (OS) of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) liver metastases initially treated with transarterial embolization (TAE) using spherical particles of different sizes. Methods: A single-institution retrospective review was performed of 160 patients with NET liver metastases initially treated with TAE using < 100 μm (n=77) or only ≥ 100 μm (n=83) spherical particles. For each patient, we evaluated: initial response by mRECIST, time to progression, overall survival, complications, primary site, tumor grade and degree of differentiation, volume of liver disease, extrahepatic disease, NET-related symptoms, comorbidities, Child Pugh score, performance status, lobar versus selective embolization, and arteriovenous shunting. Results: Initial response was higher for TAE using particles <100 μm versus TAE using only particles ≥100 μm (64% vs 42%, p=0.007). Multivariate logistic regression showed that use of * Corresponding author. Conflict of interest: FEB is a co-founder of Claripacs, LLC.
