title: [Liposome encapsulation of cystostatic drugs and starch microspheres improve tumor targeting in locoregional therapy. An animal experiment study of CC 531 liver tumor].
abstract: Systemic adjuvant chemotherapy achieves unsatisfactory results for inoperable liver tumors and metastases. Various clinical studies have shown that locoregional chemotherapy increased the survival rate by a few months. The aim of this study was to investigate tumor targeting of the most frequently used cytostatic 5-fluouracil by modifying systemic and locoregional therapy by liposome encapsulation. The tumor concentration of 5-FU encapsulated in SUV-PEG liposomes increases by a factor of 27 in systemic therapy and a factor of 90 in locoregional therapy. The tumor concentration of 5-FU increases by a factor of 8000, if the blood flow is additionally slowed by starch microspheres (Spherex) during locoregional therapy with liposome-encapsulated 5-FU.
