Hepatic arterial infusion of gemcitabine-oxaliplatin in a large metastasis from colon cancer.

Résumé

Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of chemotherapy can be performed in cases of liver-confined metastatic disease, resulting in increased local drug concentrations. Here we report the case of a 61-year-old man who presented with an isolated large unresectable liver metastasis of colon cancer after failure of surgery and multiple administration of systemic chemotherapy. The patient was treated with a combination of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin using HAI. The tolerance was excellent and a radiological complete response was obtained after 8 cycles of HAI. The rationale for the use of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin as well as that for the combination of the 2 drugs is discussed in this paper. HAI of gemcitabine-oxaliplatin should be evaluated in further clinical trials.
