[A patient with unresectable cancer of pancreas head, effectively treated by a local injection of the mixture of OK-432, fibrinogen and thrombin].
The effective treatment of unresectable pancreatic cancer remains to be elucidated. We report herein a patient who underwent a local injection of a mixture of OK-432, fibrinogen and thrombin. Tumor size and tumor markers significantly decreased following this procedure. Local injection therapy with OK-432, fibrinogen and thrombin may be a promising treatment for unresectable pancreatic cancer.
