    Abstract:
    We encountered a patient with liver metastases from colorectal cancer in whom continuous hepatic arterial infusion brought complete remission. A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for advanced rectal cancer with multiple liver metastases. He underwent a low anterior resection (D2). Continuous hepatic arterial infusion of 5-FU (250 mg/day) with a weekly arterial infusion of MMC (4 mg) was performed for 14 days. Six continuous hepatic arterial infusions resulted in a complete remission. The patient has been free from any sign of recurrence for 37 months after the operation. Continuous hepatic arterial infusion using 5-FU and MMC seems to be effective in the treatment of multiple liver metastases from colorectal cancer.
