Abstract Background Y90 transarterial radioembolization (Y90RE) may improve clinical outcomes of unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC); however, the optimal timing for Y90-RE is still debated. The purpose of this multicenter study was to retrospectively evaluate clinical outcomes of RE in patients with unresectable ICC, comparing three different settings: chemotherapy naı¨ve patients (group A), patients with disease control after first-line chemotherapy (group B) and patients with progression after first-line chemotherapy (group C). Materials and Methods The study included 81 consecutive patients (49 male, mean age 62.4 ± 11.8 years): 35 & Irene Bargellini [email protected] 1

(43.2%) patients were in group A, 19 (23.5%) in group B, and 27 (33.3%) in group C. Preprocedural clinical variables, tumour response according to RECIST 1.1 and overall survival (OS) were analysed and compared. Results Baseline demographic and clinical features did not differ significantly among groups, with the exception of prior surgical procedures that were significantly higher in group C patients, and macrovascular invasion that was more frequent in group B. Radiological response was available in 79 patients; objective response and disease control rates were 41.8% and 83.6%, respectively, without significant differences among groups. Median OS was 14.5 months (95% CI: 11.1–16.9) and was not significantly different among treatment groups. At multivariate analysis, tumour burden [ 50%, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio C 3 and radiological progression as best resp
