title: [Transcatheter treatment of hepatic metastasis from stomach cancer].
abstract: The data on arterial chemo-infusion (14) and chemoembolization (10) were compared in the treatment of 24 patients with unresectable metastases of gastric cancer into the liver. Decrease in or stabilization of tumor growth were found in 80 and 50%, respectively. Mean survival after chemo-infusion was 15.8 months, chemoembolization--9.6 months (p = 0.06); one-year survival--71 and 44%, respectively. These results match the literature data on resection of the liver. Therapy should start with chemo-infusion and should not be followed by chemoembolization unless the former fails.
