Summary
Intraarterial infusion chemotherapy (IAC) combined with radiation therapy showed a 40% objective remission and 90% subjective response in patients with abdominal neoplasms. This treatment approach offers significant benefits for unresectable tumors.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Medical Oncology
- Cancer Therapy
Context:
- Intraarterial infusion chemotherapy (IAC) has been utilized since 1984.
- Focus on treating irresectable, previously untreated abdominal neoplasms.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy of intraarterial regional chemotherapy and radiation therapy for abdominal cancers.
Summary:
- A study involving patients with abdominal neoplasms treated with IAC and radiation therapy.
- Achieved an objective remission rate of 40%.
