[An active approach to liver metastasis].

The intravenous line together with port--Implantofix was placed into art. hepatica propria by laparotomic operation in 16 patients with hepatal metastases (with the main diagnosis either colorectal or breast carcinoma). At the same time there were: 1. visually detected hepatal metastases resected in extraanatomical lines in 4 patients 2. non-resectable metastases sclerotised with 96% ethylalcohol in 3 patients All 16 patients underwent locoregional chemotherapy via subcutaneous port. The medium survival length was 9-12 months. 11 patients were lost due to progression of the disease (lung metastases), five patients are still alive.
