PET/CT-Derived Hepatopulmonary Shunt Fraction Following Yttrium-90 Radioembolization

This pilot clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT)
in finding beads after Yttrium-90 bead therapy in patients with primary liver cancer or
cancer that has spread to the liver (metastatic) that can not be removed by surgery. Imaging
procedures, such as PET/CT after Yttrium-90 bead therapy, may help see if the beads are
present in the lung and compare the results with the pre-therapy imaging.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the absolute difference in post-therapy Yttrium-90 microsphere hepatopulmonary
shunt fraction and the pre-therapy Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin hepatopulmonary
shunt fraction in patients with unresectable primary hepatic malignancy and hepatic
metastatic disease.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To quantify and compare the pre-therapy Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin particle
sizes and post-therapy Yttrium-90 microsphere sizes.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive routine pre-therapy Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin. Patients then
undergo routine radioembolization with Yttrium-90 microspheres. Within 36 hours after
radioembolization, patients undergo PET/CT imaging.

Available imaging, clinical, interventional and surgical follow-up data for 2 years after
completion of enrollment in the study will be obtained.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients who undergo intra-arterial hepatic 99mTc MAA evaluation in anticipation of
90Y microsphere radioembolization

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who are unable to give consent

- Prisoners
