[Hypervascular liver metastases of gastric cancer completely responding to transcatheter oily chemoembolization using epirubicin hydrochloride, mitomycin C and lipiodol].
1994
: A 68-year old woman underwent transarterial oily chemoembolization using Lipiodol with epirubicin hydrochloride and mitomycin C for treatment of multiple hypervascular hepatic metastases of gastric cancer. The tumors showed a good fixation of Lipiodol with a complete biologic response. The tumor has been well controlled for eight months by only one chemoembolization on follow-up study. Transcatheter oily chemoembolization may be an effective treatment not only for hepatocellular carcinoma, but also for hypervascular liver metastases from gastrointestinal malignancies.
