[Intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy in combination with microwave hyperthermia for cancer of head of pancreas and liver metastasis--a case of 16 years survival].
Our experience of arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with regional hyperthermia in the treatment of non-resectable pancreatic cancer was presented. A patient with cancer in the pancreatic head with accompanying extensive metastasis in both hepatic lobes was treated by sub selective aortic infusion of 5-FU and MMC with microwave hyperthermia. Both the cancer in the pancreatic head and the liver metastasis showed complete remission for 16 years.
