ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of gelatin sponge particles chemoembolization for liver metastasis of gastric cancer patients. MethodsThe clinical data of 5 cases from December 2009 to July 2010 with gelatin sponge particles chemoembolization for liver metastasis after radical gastrectomy patients was analyzed retrospectively. ResultsVarious degrees of necrotic lesions were observed in all cases, 6 months after operation, 1 case received complete remission (CR),3 cases with partial remission (PR), 1 case with stable condition (SD), the total effective (CR + PR) rate was 80％(4/5). Conclusion Gelatin sponge particles chemoembelization for liver metastasis of gastric cancer has achieved a good shortterm effect,while the long-term efficacy remains to be identified.
