ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) portal vein infusion (PVI) for 7 days after radical resection, with intraluminal chemotherapy during operation for eliminating liver metastasis and elevating long-term prognosis in colorectal cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>162 colorectal cancer patients with radical resection were divided into portal vein chemotherapy group (group A, 82 cases) and intraluminal chemotherapy group (group B, 80 cases) randomly. In group A, 5-fluorouracil were infused with 1g per day constantly for 7 days after operation through portal vein catheters, which placed into greater omental vein and fixed on the abdominal wall. In group B, intraluminal chemotherapy was given and 5-fluorouracil 0.5 g was injected into the greater omental vein during operation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The short-term complications and long-term effect in the two groups were compared by statistical software SPSS 8.0. Group A had more operative complications, and no statistical differences was found in hospital time and survival rate of the two groups. The 5-year survival rate is 76.7% (group A 74.3%, group B 79.2%), and the liver metastasis rate is 19.8%. There is no significant difference between the two group-survival curves. Multiple variable analysis suggested that Dukes' stage was the prognosis factor (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The present study demonstrated that the two chemotherapy methods play an important role in preventing liver metastasis and improving the survival rate, and the intraluminal chemotherapy would be easier and simpler. The result should be further improved by using combined chemotherapy.</p>
