Abstract

We investigated the effectiveness of continuous arterial infusion of low-dose CDDP, 5-FU for residual cancer after cytoreductive surgery for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Thirty-one patients with unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma were classified into two groups by adjuvant therapy after reduction surgery: 1) Low-dose FP Group: 17 patients; continuous arterial infusion of low-dose CDDP, 5-FU via implanted port system; 2) Conventional group: 8 patients; Lipiodolization (6 cases) and transcatheter arterial embolization (2 cases). The five-year survival rate in the low-dose FP group was 34.8%, the efficacy was 64.7%, CR: 6 (35.3%); PR: 5; NC: 4; PD: 2. Thus, continuous arterial infusion of low-dose CDDP, 5-FU was effective as adjuvant therapy in cytoreductive surgery for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
