    Abstract:
    We evaluated the effectiveness of arterial infusion chemotherapy for liver metastasis from gastric cancer. Nineteen patients (9 synchronous cases, 10 metachronous cases) were treated with hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC). The response rate was 26% (CR 3, PR 2, PD 14), and the median survival time was 357 days after the diagnosis of liver metastasis. The treatment was discontinued in 8 patients because of treatment associated complications and disease progression. Absence of extrahepatic lesion, response of HAIC, and hepatectomy did not improve the prognosis. The combination of systemic chemotherapy with HAIC tended to improve the prognosis. It may be necessary to reevaluate HAIC as a treatment modality for liver metastasis from gastric cancer.
