    AbstractA new technique of intra-arterial catheterization through the inferior epigastric artery using a subcutaneously-implanted silicon reservoir was tried for arterial infusion chemotherapy in patients with cancer located in specific lesions. Eight surgically uncontrollable tumors, consisting of 6 hepatic metastasis, one surgically incurable gastric cancer and one recurrent rectal cancer, were treated by continuous arterial infusion of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) using this new method. Clinical antitumor effect was evaluated by CT scan, sonography or operation. CR, PR and NC were observed in 3, 3 and 2 patients, respectively. No significant difference in CDDP levels in serum was found between CR plus PR and NC cases. Since this method can be done without laparotomy, more patients may benefits from arterial infusion chemotherapy.
