title: [Transcatheter arterial infusion of adriamycin-lipiodol suspension to patients with metastatic liver tumor].
abstract: Adriamycin-Lipiodol suspension was administered to 44 patients with metastatic liver tumor using the transcatheter arterial infusion method. The result revealed 23% in the over all effect (partial response or more) of the therapy which was evaluated by comparing the CT images of the tumor, 47% in the 25% or more of the decrease of the tumor, and 65%, very effective in the decrease of the smaller tumor (less than 50 cm2). Except for a case of hepatic subcapsular hematoma after the infusion of Adriamycin-Lipiodol suspension, minor complications were experienced such as abdominal pain, slight fever, and so on. No serious exacerbation in liver function test and white blood cell count was noted.
