Hepatic intra‐arterial adriamycin in metastatic leiomyosarcoma: Exploiting the steep dose‐response curve

We report a case of extensive leiomyosarcoma of the liver that failed on systemic Adriamycin. Hepatic intra-arterial chemotherapy with Adriamycin has resulted in a lasting clinical remission. This report illustrates the importance of the dose-response curve of drug to tumor in regional chemotherapy as with Adriamycin used in sarcoma, and the need to further explore such therapy in moderately chemosensitive tumors that are surgically unresectable for anatomic reasons.
