[A combined method for treating metastases of colorectal carcinoma to the liver].

The method is a combination of operative treatment of metastases in the liver and regional intra-arterial chemotherapy. The indications for operative treatment of the underlying tumor, the metastases in the liver and the regional chemotherapy are pointed out. Two groups of patients with colorectal cancer and remote metastases in the liver are presented: one received surgical treatment alone, the other combined therapy. It is assumed that the combined treatment of the basic tumor, the metastases in the liver plus regional intra-arterial chemotherapy is a new trend in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer metastasized in the liver.
