Postoperative chemoembolism treatment of primary and metastatic malignant hepatic tumours

Acta Chir Hung. 1997;36(1-4):370-2.

Abstract

Between 1992 and 1996 62 patients were operated for primary malignant and metastatic hepatic tumours. After the operation 31 patients received cytostatical treatment, 9 patients were treated with the method of chemoembolism. 46 patients are alive 30.7 (5-54) months after the operation. 9 patients died 12.5 (3-27) months after the resection of the liver. Authors have favourable experiences on the treatment of chemoembolism.
