title: [Regional cytostatic infusion therapy in patients with inoperable gastrointestinal carcinomas and metastases in the liver (author's transl)].
abstract: Report on 50 patients with incurable gastrointestinal carcinoma and 8 patients with metastases in the liver who received a regional transarterial continuous infusion therapy with 1 g 5-Fluorouracil daily for a period of 5 to 6 days. A clinically demonstrable remission for a period of 6 to 15 months occurred in 76% of the patients. The treatment which is administered in intervals of 6 to 8 weeks is well tolerated and the incidence of complications is low. Therefore this method may be recommended for otherwise completely incurable gastrointestinal carcinomas.
