[Liver metastasis in colorectal carcinoma]

The authors describe the method and therapeutic results of liver metastases of colorectal carcinoma in a group of 14 patients followed up for 2 to 33 months. In these patients in five instances (35.7%) resection with subsequent intraarterial chemotherapy (HAI) was possible. In nine instances (64.3%) a chemoport was introduced, as resection was impossible due to the size of the lesion. For checking of the site and patency of the arterial chemoport, the authors recommend the use of port scintigraphy, a method which is accurate, accessible and simple.
