[Use of intra-arterial chemotherapy in the treatment of malignant tumors in children].
Transcatheter arterial chemotherapy has been perfected in the treatment of 66 patients with various severe malignant tumors. A total of 75 arterial cytostatic injections were made, out of them 57 were given in primary tumors and 18 in tumor metastases. The children's age ranged from 1 to 14 years. High arterial therapeutic doses in combination with extracorporeal blood purification by hemosorption in the treatment of hepatic metastases yielded 100% efficiency. Prolonged arterial chemotherapy for pulmonary metastases provided an excellent therapeutic effect. Thus, 75 arterial injections of cytostatics gave rise to 32% of complete remissions, 48% of partial remissions. There was no benefit in 20% of cases. Adverse reactions were absent.
