03:54 PM Abstract No. 108 Is conventional transarterial chemoembolization for neuroendocrine tumor liver metastasis really the best management option or is it reflective of lead-time bias?

A recent review of transarterial chemoembolization with conventional chemotherapy (cTACE), drug-eluting beads, or yttrium-90 radioembolization (Y90) for liver metastasis of neuroendocrine tumors (NELM) suggests cTACE has the longest overall and progress-free survival. However, it fails to control the duration of disease prior to presenting for liver directed therapy (LDT). Our study aims to identify potential lead time (L-T) bias that may affect therapy choice and subsequent outcomes.
