The Use of Hepatic Artery Infusion Chemotherapy for Unresectable Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases

Cancer Treat Res. 2024:192:265-276. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-61238-1_13.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and women (Siegel et al. in CA Cancer J Clin 72(1):7-33). Over one-half of newly diagnosed individuals will develop liver metastases. Among those with liver-only metastatic disease, only about one in five will be candidates for potentially curable resection.
