[Complete response in a case of rectal carcinoma with multiple liver metastasis treated by infuse-a-port].
Much effort has been developed to control of multiple liver metastases of colo-rectal cancer, but the results of various therapies are not necessarily satisfactory. We report here a 73-year female with advanced rectal cancer and multiple liver metastases (H3), who showed a complete response to hepatic arterial infusion of mitomycin C using "Infuse-a-port". Hepatic arterial infusion of chemotherapeutic agents using totally implantable reservoir might be one of the most potent therapies for non-resectable liver metastasis of colo-rectal cancer.
