We studied the prognoses of unresectable liver tumors, including 31 colorectal cancers and 10 gastric cancers treated by intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy using an implantable reservoir. Adriamycin, epirubicin, or cisplatin were administered intermittently early on. Cisplatin and 5-FU combined therapy were given later. In nine with colorectal metastases and six with gastric metastases, metastatic lesions decreased, and in 4 patients with metastatic lesions could be resected. But in many patients, hepatic and other organ recurrences were observed. We need to try many other treatments.
