Intra-arterial continuous infusion for treatment of pancreatic and biliary tract cancer
2000
Background. Systemic chemotherapy does not satisfactorily improve the poor prognosis of pancreas and biliary tract cancer unresectable or metastatic to the liver. Intra-arterial infusion of antineoplastic agents can give higher concentrations to the tumor and slighter concentrations to the whole body, with a potential of efficacy and lower toxicity, due to the hepatic clearance.
