title: [Two cases of chemotherapy related death associated with acute depression of consciousness complicating hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (5-FU and CDDP) for liver metastases from gastric cancer].
abstract: Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with 5-FU and CDDP is one of the more attractive regimens for liver metastases from gastric cancer. We report here two chemotherapy related deaths from unexpected complications associated with acute depression of consciousness level due to hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy.
