    Abstract:
    We report 2 cases of synchronous bilobar multiple liver metastases from colorectal cancer which are hepatectomised following a hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy. Both cases were considered unresectable metastases before chemotherapy. Case 1: A 55-year-old male, with rectal cancer and multiple hepatic metastases, was performed a low anterior resection. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (5-FU 1 g/m2 5h qw) and systemic chemotherapy (5-FU/LV) were administered. Twelve months after the first surgery, hepatectomy was performed. Case 2: Right hemicolectomy was performed on a 66-year-old male, with cancer of the transverse colon and multiple hepatic metastases. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy was administered 38 times. Thirteen months after the first surgery, hepatectomy and MCT were performed. Even among the cases of unresectable hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer, there are some in which resection is possible followed by hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy. Re-evaluation for hepatectomy is needed for the cases where hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy is administered.
