Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with levofolinate (l-leucovorin) and fluorouracil regimen was performed using an implanted port system on unresectable hepatic metastasis patients with colorectal cancer. A comparative study was performed on two groups in which the levofolinate was administered arterially or intravenously. Levofolinate 200-250 mg/m(2) was infused for two hours intra-arterially or intravenously, and 5-FU 400-600 mg/m(2) was administered as a bolus in midinfusion. The regimen was repeated weekly for six weeks, followed by no medication for two weeks. Six patients were administered intra-arterially and 7 patients intravenously. The response rate was higher in the group in which levofolinate was given intravenously. The adverse effect was lower in the former than in the latter group. When 5-FU and levofolinate was performed using an implanted port system, it seemed better to administer levofolinate intravenously. |
