Abstract:
We attempted arterial infusion of anticancer agent using a totally implanted drug delivery system in 52 patients who had inoperable liver cancer or the scheduled adjuvant chemotherapy after hepatic resection. The response rate of the cases using lipiodol was 38%, while that of the cases using only ADM and MMC was 0%. We studied changes in serum concentration of ADM and MMC. The results indicated that using 60% Urographin to make ADM, MMC-lipiodol emulsion was effective for targetting and control release.
