Abstract:
We treated 22 cases of lymphatic neoplasma with chemotherapy via lymphatic ducts under the control of X-ray monitor, a method we called interventional trans-lymphatic chemotherapy. The method includes: (1) lymphography, (2) trans-lymphatic infusion with anticancer agents, (3) lavage of lymphatic vessel, (4) treatment of complications. Six cases of primary lymphoma and 16 cases of lymph-metastatic carcinoma were treated this way. The short-term results were excellent. Main symptoms and signs disappeared in 19 cases (19/22), and markedly improved in 2. X-ray features of 18 cases showed that enlarged lymph nodes returned to normal after the therapy. Follow-up for 28 months showed no recurrence.
