Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of sequential intrahepatic arterial FAM for the treatment of metastatic gastric cancer to the liver. Methods 14 patients with multiple hepatic metastases from gastric cancer were treated with sequential intrahepatic arterial FAM using the hepatic artery infusion port. Results Of 14 patients, CR, PR, NC and PD were observed in 1, 7, 4 and 2 cases respectively. The overall median survival was 15 months. The survival rate at 1, 2 and 3 years was 80.0%; 57.1% and 14.3% respectively. No severe complication was observed. Conclusions Sequential intrahepatic artery FAM is effective to increase the survival rate in patients with hepatic metastases from gastric cancer.
