    Abstract:
    Preventive hepatic arterial infusion (MMC 20 mg, 5-FU 500 mg; one-shot) was applied to high risk cases of liver metastasis from gastric cancer. Postoperative liver metastases were found in 5 (16.1%) of 31 arterial infusion patients, against 9 (25.7%) of 35 controls. The average interval to recurrence from operation was 6.8 +/- 3.0 (SD) months in arterial infusion, against 5.4 +/- 3.0 months in controls. These results suggest that preventive hepatic arterial infusion will decrease the rate of postoperative liver metastasis from gastric cancer.
