A 65-year-old man was diagnosed as having hepatoma (HCC) in the area of S5 and S8. Anterior segmentectomy was performed on September, 1984. TAE (Sandwich therapy) via r. hepatic artery was performed for the intrahepatic recurrence one and half years after hepatectomy. However, the tumor embolus in the l. portal vein with intrahepatic recurrence occurred, and intraarterial infusion chemotherapy (IAC) using CDDP 150 mg was performed via proper hepatic artery. The decrement of AFP value was observed for a short time after IAC therapy. Therefore, UFT 300 mg daily, was administered. For two and half months after UFT administration, the elevation of AFP value continued from 665 ng/ml to 4150 ng/ml, and decreased rapidly below 20 ng/ml in the following 2 months. The tumor embolus in the l. portal vein was remarkably reduced on computed tomogram examination. This case suggests the usefulness of UFT for the intrahepatic recurrence with tumor embolus in the portal vein after hepatectomy for HCC.
