[Hepatic arterial infusion of farmorubicin (FARM) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in a patient with massive hepatic metastasis from gastric cancer].

A patient with massive hepatic metastasis from gastric cancer was treated with hepatic arterial injection of FARM and 5-FU one month after total gastrectomy. Response rate was 88% at 3 months after arterial infusion therapy. Severe side effects were not seen during treatment. It is suggested that the hepatic arterial infusion of combined FARM and 5-FU is a useful method for treatment of hepatic metastasis of gastric cancer.
