Abstract

A 71-year-old woman with advanced HCC had been treated by transarterial chemoembolization with epirubicin and mitomycin from 2000 to 2005, however tumor progression was not controlled and HCC was found in the portal vein. So she was treated with six times by transcatheter arterial infusion chemotherapy with cisplatin powder (IA-call®). HCC was disappeared and tumor makers were markedly decreased. No adverse effect was found and she is doing well for 9 years. The treatment will be useful for patient with advanced HCC.
