Postoperative chemoembolism treatment of primary and metastatic malignant hepatic tumours.
Between 1992 and 1996 62 patients were operated for primary malignant and metastatic hepatic tumours. After the operation 31 patients received cytostatical treatment, 9 patients were treated with the method of chemoembolism. 46 patients are alive 30.7 (5-54) months after the operation. 9 patients died 12.5 (3-27) months after the resection of the liver. Authors have favourable experiences on the treatment of chemoembolism.
