SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months after treatment

Population: Response data are presented by primary disease sites: Colorectal (mCRC), Neuroendocrine (NET), and all other tumors. One patient with mCRC did not have follow-up cross-sectional imaging. Therefore, radiographic response data was available for 20 of 21 patients with mCRC.

Radiographic response of treated lesions on cross-sectional imaging (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) following treatment with Yttrium-90 glass microspheres (TheraSphere) was assessed based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1. Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), no change in target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD), increase in target lesions.
