title: [Effects of intraarterial infusion chemotherapy on liver function in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma].
abstract: Periodic infusion chemotherapy from the reservoir implanted by direct arterial puncture (Seldinger method) was performed in 21 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma. The effectiveness of treatment in terms of efficacy and liver function in about 12 patients who survived more than 6 months was investigated. Owing to the progressive liver atrophy and liver dysfunction with ascites, some cases had to delay infusion treatment. Thus, it is necessary to check liver function regularly.
