[Home therapy approach in cancer patients-chemotherapy (case 2-3)--intra-arterial infusion cancer chemotherapy for hepatic metastasis of colorectal cancer--case report].
The development of interventional radiology and the like has made it possible to reduce the invasion and expand the applicability of intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy for unresectable cancer. By employing such methods and combining chemoembolization with continuous intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy, an response rate of 64% has been achieved in cases of unresectable hepatic metastases of colon cancer. These successful cases were reported along with personal comments by the authors.
