Therapy for hepatocellular cancer with intrahepatic arterial adriamycin and 5-fluorouracil combined with whole-liver irradiation: a Northern California Oncology Group Study

M A Friedman et al. Cancer Treat Rep. 1979 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Thirteen patients with hepatocellular cancer were treated with intrahepatic arterial Adriamycin and 5-fluorouracil combined with whole-liver irradiation. Six patients (46%) had an objective regression and five (38%) had stable disease. Symptomatic improvement was noted in 81% of the patients. The minimum median survival time was 5.0 months for those patients who responded. Toxicity was acceptable. This is an effective combination for the treatment of this especially aggressive and intractable form of cancer.
