Purpose: Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a minimally invasive therapy combining embolization and radiation for cancer treatment. This meta-analysis compares radiation exposure, quality of life, and safety of the transradial (TRA) versus transfemoral (TFA) approaches in TARE for liver tumors. Materials and Methods: We searched PubMed, SCOPUS, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Web of Science for studies comparing TRA versus TFA in TARE for liver tumors. Our primary outcomes focused on various measures of patient radiation exposure, including procedure time, fluoroscopy time, air kerma, and dose-area product (DAP). For secondary outcomes, we evaluated safety parameters, such as overall pain experienced during the procedure, pain in the recovery room post-procedure, the incidence of adverse events, and the impact on quality of life. Study quality was assessed using Cochrane's ROB 2 tool for RCTs and the Newcastle–Ottawa scale for observational studies. Data analysis was conducted with REVMAN 5.4.1 software. Results: Six studies, comprising one RCT and five cohort studies with 1,209 patients, underwent comprehensive analysis. The aggregated findings revealed a significant reduction in procedure duration associated with TRA (MD =− 6.30, 95% CI [− 9.88, − 2.73], P = 0.005). However, no statistically significant differences were found between TRA and TFA groups concerning fluoroscopy time, recovery time, air kerma, DAP, pain in the recovery room, overall pain during the procedure, quality of life measuring mental health and physical function or adverse events. Conclusion: TRA and TFA showed comparable results in TARE for liver tumors, but TRA offered a shorter procedure time. Further RCTs with larger samples are needed to confirm these findings. Future studies should assess long-term efficacy for a more complete evaluation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
