Patients with advanced and incurable colorectal cancer have a very poor prognosis. Curative-intent resection was performed in 70%–90% of cases in reported series of colorectal cancer, sometimes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The remaining 10%-30% of patients are treated with palliative intent, where treatment is aimed at relieving disease-related symptoms and improving quality of life. The provision of palliative care for these patients is complicated and outcomes are often disappointing. Although there are many available options including a variety of surgical and nonsurgical interventions, the best management remains controversial. Transarterial chemoembolization with irinotecan-loaded drug-eluting beads (DEBIRI) is an effective, minimally invasive procedure performed by interventional radiologists that allows intra-arterial drug delivery to stop vascular feeding and exert local cytotoxic effects. We here report on a patient treated with DEBIRI followed by systemic chemotherapy with the FOLFOX regimen for locally advanced, inoperable colorectal cancer.
