The >70 Group had more patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status scores >2 (p=0.002), higher baseline bilirubin (p=0.02) and lower baseline albumin (p=0.01). Ten of 111 (9%) patients in the >70 group were chemotherapy-naive compared to 9/365 of the < 70 group (2%) (p=0.002). Median OS for >70 was 14.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 8.2 - 23.8)] vs 15.3 months for < 70 (95% CI: 13.2-17.4) (X2=0.3 and p = 0.6). Median PFS for >70 was 6.1 months (95% CI: 4.5-7.9) vs 7.5 months (95% CI: 6.8 - 9.5) for < 70 (X2= 0.1 and p = 0.7). Median OS and Median PFS by line of therapy were similar for both groups (all p >0.05). Disease control was achieved in 43/65 (66%) patients >70 vs 151/221 (59%) < 70 (p=0.8). Six-month toxicities were available in 380 (75.4%) patients. Grade 3 or greater toxicities occurred in 3/87 (3%) patients >70 and 21/293 (7%) patients < 70 (p=0.7).
Conclusion: Patients ≥70 years old had similar median OS, imaging response and toxicity rates compared with < 70 following 90Y radioembolization despite worse baseline performance status, and more patients being chemotherapy-naive.
