In this article the results of 85 hepatic arterial infusions in 37 patients with biopsy-proven malignancies of the liver, treated in a period of 4 years, are described. Treatment consisted of a bolus injection of mitomycin C for a 10-min period. In 9 catheterizations (10.6%) a dissection of the hepatic artery occurred, followed by occlusion in 5 cases (5.8%). Gastric ulcers were seen in 2 patients, without evidence of displacement of the catheter. In 1 patient the catheter did displace leading to toxic gastritis, and subsequent pulmonary complications led to the patient's death. The response rate appeared to be 42% for colorectal cancer and 70% for breast cancer.
