AbstractA patient with multiple hepatic metastases (H3) from advanced gastric cancer was treated with pre- and post-operative arterial infusion therapy. A Port-A-Cath was cannulated into the gastroduodenal artery after total gastrectomy. Repeated arterial infusions were performed monthly in the outpatient ward. The volume of hepatic tumors was remarkably decreased to 12% of the pretreatment level. The patient has been alive for 15 months after the operation without any complaint. Arterial infusion chemotherapy through implantable reservoir is useful for the treatment of unresectable hepatic metastasis without decreasing the quality of life.
