title: [Continuous intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy for malignant bone and soft tissue tumors in pelvis and trunk areas].
abstract: We evaluated the effectiveness of intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy for 21 cases of malignant bone and soft tissue tumors in the pelvis and trunk areas. Eight cases are alive for one or two years without operation. In all cases, pain was decreased and quality of life improved. We concluded that intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy is one of the useful treatments for malignant bone and soft tissue tumors in the pelvis and trunk areas.
