[Indication for hepatic resection after hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy for multiple liver metastases of colorectal cancer].
The indications for hepatic resection after hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAI) for unresectable metastatic liver tumor of colorectal cancer were analyzed from the surgical outcome of hepatic resections in 23 cases of hepatic resection after HAI. The mean duration of HAI until hepatic resection was 7.4 months (5-14 months). The total dose of 5-FU was 25.7 +/- 8.0 g for a CR + PR group and 14.0 +/- 3.5 g for a NC + PD group. There was a significant difference between two groups (p < 0.01). The group in which serum CEA level normalized after HAI (the normal CEA group) included 7 patients, and the group in which serum CEA level did not normalize (the high CEA level group) had 9 patients. The total dose of 5-FU was 30.0 +/- 7.6 g in the normal CEA level group and 19.1 +/- 6.9 g in the high CEA level group. There was a significant difference between the two groups. The 3-year survival rate was 40.0% in the group with the duration of HAI for longer than 8 months (n = 10) and 0% in the group with the duration of HAI for shorter than 8 months (n = 7). The 3-year survival rate was 66.7% in the normal CEA level group (n = 3) and 0% in the high CEA level group (n = 8). The surgical outcome was better in the HAI for longer than 8 month and normal CEA groups.
