  • Title: [Intra-arterial infusion therapy for unresectable liver metastasis of colorectal cancer].
    Author: Ukei T, Touno T, Masutani S, Oozato H, Yamamoto H, Fukuda K.
    Journal: Gan To Kagaku Ryoho; 2000 Oct; 27(12):1890-3. PubMed ID: 11086438.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-five colorectal carcinomas with metastatic liver tumor treated with intra-arterial 5-FU (> 5 g) infusion therapy at six hospitals were investigated retrospectively. The response rate reached 45%. The metastatic liver tumor from the rectum did not respond as well as that from the colon. Six patients could undergo liver resection and the infusion therapy was stopped in eleven patients due to a new extrahepatic lesion. The ratio of serum CEA levels of non-responders before infusion therapy and one month later was significantly higher and their survival period was shortened. This ratio indicated that this therapy could be continued.
