✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

Regionally advanced cancer is a common, often unresolved problem. Effective local control with chemotherapy is limited by the toxicity following systemic administration. Chemofiltration (CF) is a form of regional perfusion that enables the administration of cytotoxic drugs into one body area while limiting systemic toxicity. The drug is infused into the artery supplying the involved area. The venous effluent of the same organ is pumped out into a hemofiltration unit at a high flow rate. The drug is then filtered away and the blood returned to systemic circulation.
