Popis: PURPOSE: To determine how particle density affects dose distribution and outcomes after lobar radioembolization. METHODS: Matched pairs of patients, treated with glass versus resin microspheres, were selected by propensity score matching (114 patients), in this single-institution retrospective study. For each patient, tumor and liver particle density (particles/cm(3)) and dose (Gy) were determined. Tumor-to-normal ratio was measured on both (99m)Tc-MAA SPECT/CT and post-(90)Y bremsstrahlung SPECT/CT. Microdosimetry simulations were used to calculate 1(st) percentile dose, which is the dose in the cold spots between microspheres. Local progression-free survival (LPFS) and overall survival were analyzed. RESULTS: As more particles were delivered, doses on (90)Y SPECT/CT became more uniform throughout the treatment volume: tumor and liver doses became more similar (p=0.04), and microscopic cold spots between particles disappeared. For hypervascular tumors (tumor-to-normal ratio ≥ 2.6 on MAA scan), delivering fewer particles (
