    Abstract:
    Eleven patients with liver metastasis from gastric cancer were treated by intermittent arterial infusion using OK-432 and recombinant IL-2 in combination with anticancer drugs. The direct effects for liver metastasis were PR 3 (response rate 30%), MR 2, NC 3, PD 1 and NE 1. Papillary adenocarcinoma showed a highly effective rate. The mean survival period was 326 days and the 50% survival period was 318 days. Out of 4 patients who underwent surgical resection for metastatic liver tumor, one showed recurrence, and the other is now healthy without any sign of recurrence for 8 years after the operation. In 7 patients with liver metastasis from colorectal cancer, intermittent arterial infusion therapy using Leucovorin, CDDP and 5-FU was performed. The direct effects were CR 2, PR 1, MR 1, PD 2, NE 1; the mean survival period was 478 days, and the 50% survival period 556 days. Out of 8 patients who underwent liver resection for metastasis, all patients remained alive for 687 mean survival days without liver recurrence. No severe side effects were noted in either therapy.
