Colorectal cancer is a worldwide public health issue, presenting an advanced stage at diagnosis in more than 20% of patients. Liver metastases are the most common metastatic sites and are not indicated for resection in 80% of cases. Unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases that are refractory to systemic chemotherapy may benefit from transarterial chembolization with irinotecan-loaded beads (DEBIRI). Several studies show the safety and efficacy of DEBIRI for the treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastases. The development of transarterial chembolization and the introduction of new embolics have contributed to better outcomes of DEBIRI. This article reviews the current literature on DEBIRI reporting its use, efficacy in terms of tumor response and survival and side effects.

Aims: Bevacizumab (B) in association with systemic chemotherapy is commonly used for the treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastases. The aim of this study was to monitor tumor response, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) + B compared with TACE alone and to correlate the results with KRAS mutational status. Patients & methods: This was an observational multicentric case–control study (NCT03732235) on the efficacy and safety of B administered after TACE. Results: The disease control rate was significantly higher for the TACE + B than the TACE alone group (p < 0.001). KRAS wild-type patients had a significantly better disease control rate than those with KRAS mutations in the TACE + B group. Median OS and PFS were similar for the TACE + B and TACE groups, whereas median time to progression was significantly higher for the TACE + B group (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The combination of TACE with B may improve tumor response and delay disease progression.
