Experimental: Lung, Endobronchial, Mediastinal or Pleural Metastases
Participants will have unresectable and unablatable lung, endobronchial, mediastinal, or pleural metastases (from any primary) that are not responding to chemotherapy
|
Procedure: Chemoembolization
Chemoembolization will be performed via the artery (bronchial, non-bronchial systemic, or pulmonary) that shows the greatest tumor enhancement on angiography. Chemoembolization will be performed using a lipiodol / mitomycin emulsion, followed by spherical particles. Drug: Mitomycin C Mitomycin (5mg/m^2,maximum mitomycin dose 20 mg) will be dissolved in lipiodol at 2 mg/ml on the day of procedure. Drug: Lipiodol Mitomycin (5mg/m^2,maximum mitomycin dose 20 mg) will be dissolved in lipiodol at 2 mg/ml on the day of procedure. Drug: Embospheres Embospheres are non-resorbable spherical microspheres (trisacryl gelatin) that are FDA-approved for embolization of hypervascular tumors. |
- Participant toxicity will be evaluated according to CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months post treatment ]Safety will be evaluated by participant toxicity according to CTCAE v5.0
