| Popis: | The most appropriate route for regional administration of chemotherapeutic drugs to liver tumours was studied in a standardized rodent model: cells of Novikoff hepatoma were transplanted into the central liver lobe of Sprague-Dawley rats. From day 5 to day 12 after transplantation, the liver was continuously perfused with 420 mg/kg 5'-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine by subcutaneous osmotic micropumps via the hepatic artery (n = 20), the portal vein (n = 20) or both vessels together (n = 12). The tumour multiplication factor (TMF) and the vascularization of the tumour were evaluated. Arterial and combined infusion led to a highly significant reduction in TMF, but combined infusion was not more effective than arterial alone. Portal infusion had no significant effect. There was no correlation between vascularization and tumour response in arterial infusion, but a strong correlation in portal infusion. Thus chemotherapy via the portal route may be effective in selected tumours with considerable portal vascularisation. |
