[Radical surgery and loco-regional chemotherapy in the treatment of liver metastases of stomach and colorectal cancer].
The results of surgical treatment of hepatic metastasis from stomach and colo-rectal cancer in a series of 28 patients have been assessed. 21 cases were subjected to hepatic resection (stomach cancer: 7 cases; colorectal: 14 cases) and 7 underwent locoregional chemotherapy through the gastroduodenal artery with fully implantable catheters (stomach ca.: 1 case; colorectal ca.: 6 cases). Of patients who underwent hepatic resection, 3 died postoperatively and 4 are still alive 5 years after the operation. Of the 7 patients treated with locoregional chemotherapy, 4 can be evaluated: 2 responded to treatment, 1 stabilised and 1 progressed. Clinically noteworthy toxicity was observed in one patient only.
