ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The present paper addressed the issue of whether pretreatment with intravenous (i.v.) chemotherapy affects response rate or survival in patients receiving hepatic artery chemotherapy (HAC).METHODS:
Case note reviews of 164 patients treated in a teaching hospital from June 1990 to July 1996 were carried out.RESULTS:
The response rate and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) fall in the two groups was almost identical. There was a nonsignificant survival advantage in the non-pretreatment group.CONCLUSIONS:
Previous administration of i.v. chemotherapy did not affect the CEA response of patients receiving HAC.
