Selective Regional Chemotherapy of Unresectable Hepatic Tumours Using Lipiodol
Over a 30 month period from 1987 to 1990, selective hepatic cannulation under fluoroscopic control was performed in 57 consecutive patients with primary and secondary malignancies of the liver. Fifty-three patients were subsequently treated using intra-arterial Lipiodol emulsified with epirubicin. The tumours treated were hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 35), metastatic adenocarcinoma (n = 14), in...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation of unresectable hepatic tumors.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of primary and metastatic liver malignancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-nine consecutive patients who have primary (n=9) and metastatic (n=20) liver malignancies were treated with RFA. The total number of lesions were 62 at the initiation of treatment and 28 new lesions were diagnosed at the follo...
متن کاملRadiotherapy with 8 MHz radiofrequency-capacitive regional hyperthermia for pain relief of unresectable and recurrent colorectal cancer.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the pain relief in patients with unresectable and recurrent colorectal cancer treated with radiation plus 8 MHz radiofrequency-capacitive regional hyperthermia and to identify predictors of the good outcome. METHODS Between February 1986-May 2003, 41 patients with primarily unresectable and recurrent colorectal cancer that caused pain were treat...
متن کاملEffect of 8-MHz radiofrequency-capacitive regional hyperthermia with strong superficial cooling for unresectable or recurrent colorectal cancer.
A well-known disadvantage of a radiofrequency-capacitive device for deep-seated tumours is preferential heating of the subcutaneous fat tissue. The authors previously developed the hyperthermia with their own external cooling unit and achieved strong superficial cooling, and reported its usefulness for the reduction of the preferential heating. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate t...
متن کاملDoes Radiofrequency Ablation Add to Chemotherapy for Unresectable Liver Metastases?
In patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) might be a good alternative, whenever possible. In contrast to systemic therapy, the aim of RFA is to achieve complete local tumor control in an attempt to provide long-term survival. In this article we discuss the available evidence regarding the treatment of patients with unresectable CRLM, focusin...
