Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST) with metastatic liver cancer. Methods Four GIST patients with 19 lesions of liver metastasis were treated with 2 ～ 4 times of TACE. The diameters of the metastatic tumor were from 2 ～ 5 cm. FuDR, CDDP, EPI-ADM, together with lipiodol ultrafluid and gelatin sponge to from a mirture was prepared for arterial embolization. Results DSA showed abundant tumor vasculature and tumor stain on hepatoarterial angiography. The size of tumor showed no decrease after TACE and lipiodol was cleared away in a short period. No patient achieved CR or PR until two of them received imatinib. Conclusions TACE is not effective in treating hepatic metastasis from GIST shown in limited cases.
