title: [A case of multiple liver metastasis and local recurrence from rectal cancer effectively treated by arterial infusion chemotherapy using low-dose 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin and LV].
abstract: The case was a 43-year-old male who complained of anal bleeding and melena. He was diagnosed as rectal cancer with multiple liver metastases. Mile's operation with hepatic arterial cannulation was performed. This patient received 10 courses of arterial infusion chemotherapy using low-dose 5-FU, CDDP and LV. Tumor size of liver lesions significantly decreased. Internal iliac arterial cannulation was also performed for local recurrence. He received 3 courses of arterial infusion chemotherapy using the same regimen. The size of local recurrence also decreased. He had no side effect except mild epigastralgia and dermatitis around the stoma with good QOL.
