  • Title: Hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer: locoregional intra-arterial treatment.
    Author: Pasetto LM, Merenda R, Pilati P, Sinigaglia G, Monfardini S.
    Journal: Anticancer Res; 2006; 26(6C):4785-92. PubMed ID: 17214342.
    Abstract:
    A radical resection alone of colorectal hepatic metastases is possible in only 10-20% of the patients but, when resection and ablation are combined, the rate of radicalism can improve. A regional hepatic intra-arterial chemotherapy infusion (HAI) has been introduced in the clinical practice, as a possible alternative approach to systemic chemotherapy. Nevertheless, the introduction of new systemic therapies with monoclonal antibodies, combined to irinotecan or oxaliplatin, recently improved response rates and overall survival ia these patients. Aiming to evaluate a possible influence of HAI in these new treatments, the most important studies underlining the evolution of intrahepatic administration in recent years are reviewed.
