[Two case reports of metastatic liver carcinoma with the effective treatment of radiofrequency ablation and intraarterial chemotherapy].
We report two cases of metastatic liver carcinoma with the treatment of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and intraarterial chemotherapy. The 57-year-old man of Case 1 had resectable multiple liver metastases of rectal carcinoma in November 2007. He refused a liver resection, but accepted a low anterior resection of the rectum and RFA and intraarterial chemotherapy (5-FU 1,000 mg WHD). After this treatment, he had accepted systemic chemotherapy and found no liver recurrence within a year. The 66-year-old man of Case 2 had unresectable multiple liver metastases of locally-advanced esophageal carcinoma in July 2006. He had accepted radiochemotherapy (FP+65 Gy), and then RFA and intraarterial chemotherapy (5-FU 1,000 mg WHD). After this treatment, solitary brain metastasis and lymph node metastasis of mediastinum were found and treated, and now he has been alive with systemic chemotherapy.
