title: [Utility of arterial infusion chemotherapy and radiation therapy for the pelvic local recurrence of rectal cancer].
abstract: We treated 3 cases of local pelvic recurrence due to a rectal cancer post operation by arterial infusion chemotherapy with 5-FU and levofolinate calcium and also by radiation therapy. The result of imaging analysis showed that a recurrent tumor was decreased effectively in 2 cases by chemo-radiation therapy. We confirmed the cancer pain and tumor bleeding were gone for all of the 3 cases. As for side effects of arterial infusion chemotherapy and radiation therapy, we confirmed a paralysis of the pelvic nerve in 1 case and dermatopathy in 1 case. This therapy seemed to be an effective treatment for elderly patients with inoperable cases.
