Abstract No. 573 Rate and Predictors of Adjacent-Level Fracture after Kyphoplasty with Vertebral Radiofrequency Ablation
A controversy in the osteoporosis domain is whether the stiff modulus of conventional polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement is associated with adjacent-level fracture after kyphoplasty. This remains similarly understudied in the cancer population for patients undergoing kyphoplasty following same-session radiofrequency (RF) ablation within the vertebral body.
Transarterial embolization (TAE) and transarterial radioembolization (TARE) have both been established as effective therapies for neuroendocrine tumor hepatic metastatic disease. However, no randomized trials have comparing the two therapies. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively compare radiologic responses and survival between TAE and TARE for treatment of hepatic neuroendocrine metastases.

Both transarterial radioembolization (TARE) and bland transarterial embolization (TAE) have been shown in single-institution studies to have a substantial radiologic response for a variety of liver tumors, including neuroendocrine metastases. However, randomized controlled trials have not yet been published comparing these modalities.
Abstract No. 492 Adjacent metallic instrumentation does not limit bone ablation when using a bipolar radiofrequency device
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. An unproven theory that has favored radiotherapy and limited wider application of first-line ablation for patients with painful metastatic bone tumors is the belief that adjacent metallic instrumentation impairs outcomes for local tumor control by serving as a heat sink.
Abstract No. 564 Treatment of right-sided primary colon cancer metastatic to liver in current clinical practice
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. Right-sided primary (RSP) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a poor prognostic factor compared with left-sided primary (LSP) tumor. No overall survival (OS) benefit was seen with transarterial radioembolization (TARE) as a first line therapy in the SIRFLOX, FOXFIRE Global, and FOXFIRE studies.
Abstract No. 594 Percutaneous gastrojejunostomy tubes: identification of predictors of retrograde tip migration into the stomach
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. Percutaneous gastrojejunostomy (GJ) tubes are a safe and effective option for postpyloric feeding in patients with contraindication to gastric feeding. The most common major complication is retrograde migration of the GJ tube tip into the stomach, resulting in occult (and contraindicated) gastric feeding.
