title: [A case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma successfully treated by hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy].
abstract: The patient was a 67-year-old man who had been operated for eshophageal cancer 4 years ago. He was diagnosed as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by CT after 2 years of the operation. After admission to our hospital, he was treated by hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with CDDP, levofolinate calcium (L-LV) and 5-FU with chronomodulation. After a few more months of the treatment, abdominal CT revealed that the size of hepatic tumor decreased remarkably. There were no side effects without bone marrow suppression (grade 1). It seemed that hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with chronomodulation may be an effective strategy against intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in high risk case.
