    Abstract:
    Hepatectomy has been performed as a treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic liver carcinoma. The prognosis has improved, but it is not sufficient. In our department hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy using subcutaneous implanted reservoir has been undertaken in 21 of 66 patients who underwent hepatectomy in hepatocellular carcinoma and 13 of 30 in liver metastasis of colorectal carcinoma since 1986. There was no significant difference between the group with and without arterial infusion chemotherapy in HCC but there was a significant difference in metastasis of colorectal carcinoma. In unresectable cases, intra-arterial chemotherapy was undertaken, but there was no significant difference. On the other hand, 26 of 58 cases receiving arterial infusion chemotherapy have shown complications.
