An 82-year-old female was referred to our hospital because a 16 x 8 cm tumor detected in her liver by abdominal ultrasonography (echo, hereafter) and CT. The patient was diagnosed as having highly advanced cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC) by abdominal angiography. Since excision of the tumor was impossible due to the patient's age, a reservoir was indwelled for intra-arterial injection into the liver. Continuous injection of 1,000 mg 5-FU over 24 hours was performed every 2 weeks using a portable disposable pump 70 times. The tumor has been markedly reduced since the start of chemotherapy, with a reduction rate (PR) of 98% over the 3 years until the present. Since the frequency of administration was low, only twice a month, the patient had few side effects despite her old age, and injections could be performed in the outpatient department. Usually, the prognosis for CCC is poor. However, the patient has maintained a good QOL with the periodic intra-arterial injection of the carcinostatic into the liver, and this treatment has had a strong antitumor effect. This chemotherapy is thus considered useful for CCC which can not be resected.
