[Two cases of multiple liver metastases (H3) from colon cancer treated by home hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy].
Two cases with unresectable multiple liver metastases to both lobes (H3) from colon cancer, in which cases the life expectancy usually does not exceed 1 year, were treated with home hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy employing implantable port system. They could live over one year with good performance status. Drug treatment consisted of the administration of carboplatin (CBDCA), 150 mg/body, given in a minute for one day and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 250 mg/body, given in a 5-hour intra-arterial infusion daily for 5 days. Cycles were administered every 2 weeks. Home hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy using an implantable port system, which offers good local control of liver metastases, a high patient quality of life without the need for hospitalization, is suitable for treatment of unresectable liver metastases.
