    Abstract:
    We experienced a long-survival case with unresectable liver metastasis of sigmoid cancer by hepatic arterial intermittent multidrug infusion chemotherapy. The patient was a 65-year-old man. A movable tumor was palpable at the left lower abdomen. The serum CEA value was 15.6 ng/ml. Abdominal CT scan showed a 3 cm-sized low-density area near the root of the right and middle hepatic vein in segment 4. He had undergone sigmoidectomy, cholecystectomy and cannulation into the proper hepatic artery. Chemotherapy was performed by using 5-FU (250 mg), Adriacin (5 mg) and mitomycin C (4 mg) every second week from 4 months after surgery as an outpatient. In the CT scan image, the low-density area completely disappeared at 10 months after treatment, and the CR interval was 14 months. The patient has been alive for 5 years after surgery.
