    Abstract:
    An intra-arterial injection of an Adriamycin-Lipiodol emulsion and a Mitomycin C microcapsule has been given to two patients of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated with a tumor thrombosis of the portal trunk. One patient showed a partial response, while the other evidenced no change, alpha-Fetoprotein decreasing from 4510 to 419 ng/ml in the partial response case, and from 328 to 283 ng/ml in the no change case. In each instance the hepatic injury treated by this combination therapy was mild and reversible. Bone marrow suppression by this therapy was not demonstrated. Thus, this therapy is thought to be applicable to cases of hepatocellular carcinoma complicated with a tumor thrombosis of the portal trunk who should not be indicated for transcatheter arterial embolization.
