## Abstract ## Background Isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) involves complete vascular isolation of the liver to allow treatment with doses that would be toxic if delivered systemically. A phase II study of IHP in patients with colorectal metastases confined to the liver was performed. ## Methods

Hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion (HILP) with various chemotherapeutic agents has been used for the local treatment of high-grade soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of the extremities, but in most cases, with a disappointing result. Most such regimens certainly should not be considered superior to surger
Background. Hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion (HILP) has been shown to be effective for locoregional metastases or local recurrent disease. Locoregional recurrences after previous HILP is an unsolved problem. Methods. HILP with cisplatin, 20-30 mg/l perfused limb volume, was performed in seven p
The prognosis of patients with irresectable liver metastases derived from colorectal cancer is invariably poor; unfortunately, these tumours show only minor responses to conventional anticancer agents. The best responses have been obtained by fluoropyrimidines delivered as continuous infusion into t
