Abstract:
Objective To discuss the clinical efficiency of transcatheter arterial chemoperfusion or chemoembolization (TACP / TACE) for treatment of liver metastasis from malignant insulinoma. Methods 9 cases of liver metastasis from malignant insulinoma were performed with TACP protocol of 5-fluorouracil,epirubicin,mitomycin C and interleukin-2,including 2 patients also received TACE with total 2-8 courses of treatment. Results All patients finished the interventional therapy uneventfully with no serious complication. After treatment,clinical symptoms disappeared or improved significantly,with obvious response in 2 cases and partial response in 7 cases. Efficacy in imaging revealed obvious response in 1 case,partial response in 7 and no response in 1 case. Conclusion TACP / TACE for treatment of liver metastasis from malignant insulinoma is safe and effective.
