[A case report of intra-hepatic arterial infusion of XXXX with degradable starch microspheres for liver metastases of sigmoid colon carcinoma].

@entity1 @entity1138 @entity189 @entity1139 @entity14 @entity420 @entity1487
A 46-year-old @entity1 underwent polypectomy of sigmoid colon in January 1996. The @entity420 invaded the submucosal layer, and sigmoidectomy and D2 lymph node dissection were performed one month later. Follow-up CT revealed liver metastases, and partial hepatectomy was performed in January 1998. Afterward, weekly high dose intra-hepatic arterial chemotherapy ( @entity1487 : 1,000 mg/body) was performed 41 times, but CT revealed multiple liver metastases in October 1998. Therefore, intra-hepatic arterial infusion of @entity1138 ( @entity1139 ) with degradable starch microspheres (DSM) was given in November 1998. As follow-up CT revealed that the liver metastases were growing, partial hepatectomy was performed again in March 1999. No @entity189 was seen in the resected liver. After the second hepatectomy, intra-hepatic arterial infusion of @entity1139 with DSM was performed five times. No evidence of recurrence has been seen. Intra-hepatic arterial infusion of @entity1139 with DSM is recommended for liver metastases of @entity14 as a second line treatment.
