Article Title: | Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy for liver malignancy |
Abstract: | To date, hepatic artery infusion (HAI) chemotherapy has primarily been investigated in the setting of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM). Few studies have been conducted in North America regarding HAI chemotherapy for primary liver cancers (PLC) or noncolorectal liver metastases (non-CRLM). Despite decades of evaluation, controversy surrounding the use of HAI chemotherapy still exists. In this article the methods of HAI chemotherapy delivery, technical aspects of catheter and pump insertion, and specific complications of HAI chemotherapy are discussed. Outcomes of clinical trials and reviews of HAI chemotherapy in the setting of CRLM, PLC, and non-CRLM are evaluated. |
