title: [The clinical efficacy of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy and chemoembolization in the treatment of liver metastases].
abstract: The efficacy and clinical experience of transcatheter hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy alone or chemoembolization in 118 patients with hepatic metastases were reviewed. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy followed by embolization with lipiodol suspension and gelatin sponge pieces was carried out in 72 cases, infusion chemotherapy followed by embolization with lipiodol suspension in 32, and arterial infusion chemotherapy alone in 14. The results showed that the clinical efficacy of the first method was the best while that of the third method was the worst. The best effect was seen in patients with the single and hypervascular metastatic focus. The overall survival rate was 86.0%, 25.0%, 3.0% in 1 year, 3 years and 5 years, respectively.
