Most gastric cancer patients with jaundice caused by extensive liver metastasis show no tumor shrinkage response to systemic chemotherapy, while often showing severe adverse reactions. Their prognosis is very poor. We experienced two patients for whom hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin through an implantable port was effective for treating extensive liver metastasis.

The other patient had gastric cancer with synchronous liver metastasis and also exhibited jaundice (serum bilirubin level before HAI therapy, 11.8 mg/dl). Both patients were treated with HAI of cisplatin, 20 mg/m...
