Abstract

Effect of intraarterial infusion chemotherapy on metastatic liver tumor (28 cases) of colo-rectal cancer was compared with that of oral or intravenous chemotherapy (8 cases). The efficacy of the selective intraarterial chemotherapy was 40%, non-selective intraarterial chemotherapy, 11.1% and oral or intravenous chemotherapy 0%, respectively. Mean survival time of the intraarterial chemotherapy was 11.1 months, and that of oral or intravenous chemotherapy was 6.0 months, suggesting greater efficacy of the intraarterial infusion chemotherapy. Especially, the selective intraarterial infusion chemotherapy will be an effective therapy for inoperable metastatic liver tumor.
