title: [Effect of percutaneous chemotherapy pump placement for portal vein chemotherapy on hepatic metastasis of colorectal cancer].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate safety and effect of percutaneous chemotherapy pump placement for portal vein chemotherapy in management of colorectal cancer with hepatic metastasis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-three cases of colorectal cancer with liver metastasis were treated with percutaneous chemotherapy pump placement for portal vein chemotherapy, and the therapeutic effect of this treatment was observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Partial remission of the hepatic lesions was achieved in 13 (56.5%) of the patients following the treatment, and the condition was stabilized in 5 patients (21.7%). No severe complications were observed in these patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Percutaneous chemotherapy pump placement for portal vein chemotherapy can be safe and effective for management of hepatic metastasis of colorectal cancer.
