Background: Carcinoma of unknown primary represents a therapeutic challenge in oncological practice. Evidence lacks to support particular chemotherapy selection and empirical therapies are commonly extrapolated from data on patients where primary tumor site is known. Gemcitabine, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin and 5-Fluorouracil was previously developed...

Objective: To examine patients with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) who receive sequential treatment with somatostatin analogs. Materials and Methods: This retrospective chart review examined lanreotide depot/autogel tolerability and efficacy among GEP-NET patients who received lanreotide after octreotide long-act...

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasia and differ in their clinical presentation, behavior, and prognosis based on both histological features and cancer stage at the time of diagnosis. Although small-sized tumors can be surgically resected, locally advanced and metastatic tumors confer a poor progno...

Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are frequently characterized by a strong propensity to metastasize to the liver, mesentery, and peritoneum. However, only a few extra-abdominal metastatic sites have been reported in the published literature. The present paper implicates that primary small bowel NETs may unusually metastasize to the inguinal...

Background. When associated with isolated four or fewer liver foci, metastatic colorectal cancer is amenable to surgical resection. Alternative therapeutic methods for isolated liver metastases include radioembolization with yttrium 90 (Y90) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). We present here a case of a patient with two sites of liver meta...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using a radiofrequency wire (RF) for central venous occlusion (CVO) recanalization after failure using conventional techniques. Materials and methods A retrospective analysis of all central venous recanalization procedures using an RF wire from January 2007 to December 201...

Aortoiliac occlusive disease is a subset of peripheral arterial disease involving an atheromatous occlusion of the infrarenal aorta, common iliac arteries, or both. The disease, as it is known today, was described by the French surgeon René Leriche as a thrombotic occlusion of the end of the aorta. Leriche successfully linked the anatomic location...

Background: A vast majority of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are not candidates for surgical resection. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and effective technique for treatment of isolated liver metastasis. After radiofrequency ablation, residual tumor can have aggressive growth, part of which is driven by the up-regulatio...

Purpose Evaluate the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency wire (RF wire) recanalization of chronic central venous occlusion after failure using conventional techniques. Materials and Methods Retrospective analysis of 13 consecutive venous recanalization procedures from 1/2007 to 12/2012 using a RF wire was performed. After the presence of central...

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (p-NETs) entail a vast array of tumors, which can vary from benign neoplastic growths to rapidly aggressive malignancies. Such is the case with ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-producing p-NETs. These tumors have been found to be quite aggressive and a challenge to treat, especially due to the occurrence o...

Multidetector computed tomography (CT) represents a significant advance in CT technology and can allow the accurate assessment of trauma patients, including the detection of traumatic retroperitoneal injuries, many of which are clinically occult. Retroperitoneal injuries include duodenal, pancreatic, vascular, renal, and adrenal injuries. Abnormal...

Congenital absence of Inferior vena cava is rarely encountered in day-to-day vascular practice. This diagnosis should be suspected in young patients with recurrent deep vein thrombosis in the absence of obvious thrombophilia and in some instances of failed transvenous catheterization. We present two illustrative cases from our recent clinical exper...

PURPOSE/AIM 1. Present a comprehensive, yet systematic approach in the treatment and management of acute and chronic DVT 2. Review the available endovascular techniques of DVT removal with illustrative examples 3. Review clinical scenarios where an endovascular treatment approach to DVT is appropriate over anticoagulation alone CONTENT ORGANIZATIO...

PURPOSE/AIM To discuss the clinical indications and contraindications for paracentesis and how to safely perform the procedure with attention to critical vascular anatomy. Cases complicated by injury to the major anterior abdominal wall arteries will be included, focusing on the interventional radiology management. Special consideration will be giv...

PURPOSE/AIM 1. To review the necessary steps for the adoption of new imaging/treatment techniques by radiology departments 2. To review the specific organizational and coordination challenges for the implementation of Y-90 endovascular therapy 3. To provide a timeline and guide for implementation 4. To describe usual practices of referral, patient...

PURPOSE/AIM CT plays a critical role in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal injuries, many of which are clinically occult. Subtle signs of injury may be overlooked on CT unless specifically sought. The purpose of this exhibit is to review the spectrum of traumatic retroperitoneal injuries and their radiological appearance. CONTENT ORGANIZATION Exampl...
