Added May 30, 2015 | Posted in News

Sirtex Medical Limited is pleased to announce that the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has published the SIRFLOX Study abstract as part of the 2015 Annual Meeting Abstracts.

Newly published European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) clinical guidelines for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) endorse radioembolisation, specifically with Yttrium-90 resin microspheres, as a clinically proven technology to \"prolong time to liver tumour progression\" in mCRC patients who have failed to respond to available chemotherapy options.

Combined data from more than 1,000 patients being collected to assess overall survival (OS) benefit of adding first-line SIR-Spheres? Y-90 resin microspheres treatment to a current chemotherapy regimen for inoperable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)

In the first-line treatment of non-resectable metastatic colorectal cancer, the preliminary analysis of the SIRFLOX study results does not show a statistically significant improvement in overall progression-free survival ie, at any site. However, the study does show a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival in the liver.
