To investigate comparative effectiveness of drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) versus Yttrium-90 (Y-90)-radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Studies comparing conventional (c)TACE versus Y-90-radioembolization or DEB-TACE for HCC treatment were identified using PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases. The adjusted indirect meta-analytic method for effectiveness comparison of DEB-TACE versus Y-90-radioembolization was used. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare baseline characteristics. A priori defined sensitivity analysis of stratified study subgroups was performed for primary outcome analyses. Publication bias was tested by Egger's and Begg's tests.Fourteen studies comparing DEB-TACE or Y-90-radioembolization with cTACE were included. Analysis revealed a 1-year overall survival benefit for DEB-TACE over Y-90-radioembolization (79 % vs. 54.8 %; OR: 0.57; 95 %CI: 0.355-0.915; p = 0.02; I-squared: 0 %; p > 0.5), but not for the 2-year (61 % vs. 34 %; OR: 0.65; 95%CI: 0.294-1.437; p = 0.29) and 3-year survival (56.4 % vs. 20.9 %; OR: 0.713; 95 % CI: 0.21-2.548; p = 0.62). There was significant heterogeneity in the 2- and 3-year survival analyses. The pooled median overall survival was longer for DEB-TACE (22.6 vs. 14.7 months). There was no significant difference in tumour response rate.DEB-TACE and Y-90-radioembolization are efficacious treatments for patients suffering from HCC; DEB-TACE demonstrated survival benefit at 1-year compared to Y-90-radioembolization but direct comparison is warranted for further evaluation.aEuro cent This meta-analysis shows greater 1-year survival benefit for DEB-TACE over (90) Y-radioembolization.aEuro cent DEB-TACE has a favourable 2- & 3-year survival benefit trend over (90) Y-radioembolization.aEuro cent No significant difference for tumour response was detected.aEuro cent Direct comparison of these methods for a more robust evaluation is warranted.
