Postoperative adjuvant intraarterial infusion chemotherapy was performed for 22 hepatectomized patients with Stage III and Stage IV-A hepatocellular carcinoma from July, 1997, to December, 1999. One course of this chemotherapy consisted of cisplatin (10 mg/body/day on days 1-5) followed by 5-FU (250 mg/body/day on days 1-5). One hundred forty-eight patients of Stage III and Stage IV-A underwent hepatectomy from 1992 to 2001 and were enrolled as historical control. There were 9 Stage III cases treated with this adjuvant chemotherapy, and there were 7 or 6 Stage IV-A cases with and without main portal thrombosis, respectively. Survival and disease-free survival curves were not improved compared to historical control by this adjuvant chemotherapy. The number of recurrences in the remnant liver of 2 Stage IV-A cases with main portal thrombosis was limited to 3. Those cases treated with rehepatectomy and transarterial chemoembolization survived about 1,200 days without tumor recurrence.
