ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transcatheter hepatic arterial thermo-chemotherapy and thermo-lipiodol embolization in the treatment of hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma.Methods Sixty-eight cases with hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma were equally and randomly divided into two groups.The patients in study group were treated with transcatheter hepatic arterial thermo-chemotherapy and thermo-lipiodol embolization,while the patients in control group were treated with conventional(normal temperature) transcatheter hepatic arterial chemotherapy lipiodol embolization.Results The effective rate of study group and control group was 65%(22 / 34) and 32%(11 / 34) respectively,the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P
