title: [Rentgenoendovascular interventions into treatment of patients with unresectable metastases of gastric cancer into the liver].
abstract: In the period from 1992 through 2006 transcatheter therapy was carried out in 46 patients with unresectable metastases of gastric cancer (MGC) into the liver. Repeated cycles of chemoinfusions in the hepatic artery (CIHA) with 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicine, mitomicine C and carboplatin were made to 35 patients. Chemioembolization of hepatic arteries (CEHA) using the same cytostatics and oil contrast agent was made toll patients. After CIHA a partial response to treatment and stabilization of the tumor growth was noted in 14 (40%) patients, progressing metastases in 21 (60%) patients. Mean survival period of 32 dead was 14.6 +/- 1.5 month and the indices of 1-, 2- and 3 years survival were 46, 15 and 5 % respectably. After CEHA a partial response and stabilization of the tumor growth were noted in 7 (63%) patients and in the rest 4 patients (37%) there was progressing. The mean survival period of 9 dead patients was 15.5 +/- 3.3 months; the indices of 1-, 2- and 3 years survival were 55, 18 and 10 % respectively (p(CINA-CEHA) > 0.01). The methods of interventional radiology are thought to be perspective for treatment of unresectable metastases into the liver.
