[The study of transcatheter arterial chemo-lipiodol administration in liver metastasis of colorectal cancer].
Transcatheter hepatic arterial chemo-lipiodolization (TAC), using totally implantable reservoir, was performed for the treatment of liver metastasis from colorectal cancers in three cases of H1 (metastasis in one lobe only, n = 10), in 3 cases of H2 (a few scattered metastases in both lobes, n = 7), and in 2 cases of H3 (numerous metastases in both lobes, n = 9). We performed TAC in H1 cases after resection of liver tumor. We found a recurrence on lipiodol CT 2 months later in 1 case of H1. The metastatic tumor responded to TAC in two patients of H2 (1 case completely), but no response was observed in H3 cases. The present study suggested the effectiveness of TAC in cases H1 and H2, but further study is needed for cases of H3.
