[Incidence of recurrence after hepatic resection and prophylactic hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy for liver metastases from colon cancer].
We studied recurrence after hepatic resection and prophylactic hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy for liver metastases from colon cancer, retrospectively. Eighty-six patients underwent curative hepatic resection for liver metastases, and 41 of them received arterial infusion chemotherapy. Eight patients (20%) developed only remnant liver metastases, 6 patients (15%) had hepatic and extrahepatic recurrences, and 10 patients (24%) developed only extrahepatic recurrences. Regional therapy including hepatic resection for residual liver metastases should be indicated for recurrences after hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy.
