[Intermittent intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy using implantable reservoir for the treatment of hepatic metastasis].
Intermittent intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy using implantable reservoir was performed for hepatic metastases and the therapeutic effects were evaluated. We treated 21 patients with hepatic metastases of gastric cancer in 8 cases, rectal cancer in 6 cases, colon cancer in 5 cases and breast cancer in 2 cases. The reduction rate of the tumor diameter as seen by CT scan was used as a criteria for antitumor effectiveness. Only 1 case was PR, for an efficacy rate of 5%. Changes in serum CEA level were related to antitumor effectiveness.
