title: [Treatment of primary and secondary liver tumors using a combination of chemotherapy and surgery].
abstract: The results obtained with protracted intra-arterial chemotherapy infusions in 60 case of primary or secondary liver tumor are discussed. The treatment should if possible be associated with surgical excision of the dominant tumor mass. Subjective improvement is obtainable in 75% of cases and objective improvement (including longer survival) in 50%. In some exceptionally favourable cases complete histologic disappearance of the metastases has also been achieved. Carcinoembryonic antigen determination appears to be the most reliable follow-up test.
