Abstract:
For 4 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis who had severe abdominal pain and vomiting, intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy, via the superior mesenteric artery was performed. After the treatment, all patients were free of their symptoms and began to eat again. Severe complications such as superior mesenteric arterial thrombosis did not occur. It is concluded that our treatment is clinically useful because the quality of life of these patients at the end stage was improved.
