Effectiveness of partial splenic embolization in colorectal cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia: results of a single institution retrospective study
PSE is safe and effective in the treatment of CIT patients with colorectal cancer. The larger the embolized particle, the more platelets grew. The severity of complication was also positively correlated with the absolute volume of spleen embolized. Therefore, large particle embolization materials can be used to improve the efficacy of PSE and reduce complications. For CIT patients with cirrhosis, PSE was less effective in improving platelet count than those without cirrhosis.
