Five-year overall survival rates in 17 cases who underwent the hepatectomy for metastatic liver cancer from digestive tract averaged 43%. Postoperative intrahepatic arterial infusion in combination with Farmorubicin and 5-FU was performed in 9 cases (i.a group). Survival and recurrence rate on cases (i.a group) were compared with that of 8 cases without chemotherapy (control group). The 5-year survival rate was superior in the i.a group to that in the control group. There was no residual liver recurrence in the i.a group, but two cases had recurrence in the residual liver in the control group. These results suggest that the post-hepatectomized intrahepatic arterial infusion of anticancer drugs is useful to prevent recurrence in the residual liver and may prolong the survival time of patients with metastatic liver cancer from GI tract.
