Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with yttrium-90 glass microspheres is widely used to treat primary and secondary malignancies in the liver. However, the safety and efficacy of TARE in patients with liver-dominant metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is unknown. A proof-of-concept, retrospective analysis of 7 consecutive patients with liver-dominant mCRPC who were treated with TARE was performed. The median overall survival was 27.2, 32.1, and 108.1 months from the time of TARE, the diagnosis of liver metastases, and initial cancer diagnosis, respectively.
