| Abstract | Hepatic metastasis is a common cause of treatment failure after curative resection of pancreatic cancer. We report a pilot study of hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) chemotherapy with gemcitabine and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) for postoperative liver metastases from pancreatic cancer. Five patients who had undergone curative resection of liver metastases from pancreatic cancer received HAI of gemcitabine and 5-FU between October 2008 and September 2010 at Kanazawa University Hospital. Gemcitabine at a dose of 800 mg was infused over 30 min via a bedside pump. After gemcitabine administration, 250 mg of 5-FU was infused continuously over 24 h on days 1–5, comprising one cycle of therapy. These treatment cycles were continued biweekly. In the evaluation according to RECIST criteria, a partial response was obtained in 2 of the 5 cases, with stable disease being achieved in the remaining 3 cases (response rate, 100%). In 4 of the 5 cases, a decrease in serum tumor marker CA19-9 was observed after 10 HAI treatment cycles. The median time to treatment failure was 10 months (range 3–17). As to adverse events, leukocytopenia was grade 3 in 1 of 4 affected cases and all 5 were anemic, although 4 of the 5 cases had anemia prior to HAI therapy. Grade 2 thrombocytopenia was observed in 2 cases. No nonhematologic events, such as nausea, diarrhea, liver injury and neuropathy, occurred. There were no life-threatening toxicities, but 4 cases (80%) developed catheter complications, and the HAI catheter and subcutaneous implantable port system had to be removed. HAI delivers high doses of chemotherapeutic agents directly into tumor vessels, producing increased regional levels with greater efficacy and a lower incidence/severity of systemic side effects. In conclusion, HAI chemotherapy is useful and safe for the treatment of malignancies confined to the liver. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
