Localized treatment of liver metastases from colon cancer has yielded better results than has systemic therapy. We report 19 patients with metastatic colon cancer whose bulk disease was limited to the liver, but was not amenable to surgical resection. Many of these patients had poor prognostic features: 14 had greater than 30% replacement of the liver, five had poorly differentiated tumor, and five had previously failed to respond to systemic chemotherapy. All were treated with hepatic artery ligation and portal vein infusion of chemotherapy (mitomycin C and 5-fluorouracil). Two patients (10%) died within one month postoperatively. The remaining 17 patients all improved clinically and demonstrated a marked decrease in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels. Based on follow-up physical exam, liver function tests, computed tomographic scan, and/or laparotomy, there were two complete responses, ten partial responses, four improved, and one indeterminate, for an objective response rate of 63%. Median survival of all patients was 13 months after hepatic artery ligation, and 14 months after diagnosis of liver metastases, with four patients still alive at 13+, 16+, 41+, and 61+ months after hepatic artery ligation. We believe that this form of therapy is an effective, well-tolerated alternative for patients with unresectable liver metastases.
