| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the phase I aspects of super high-dose chemotherapy for advanced liver cancer with combined use of PIHP and PBSCT. In 4 patients with HCC and 1 patient with colonic liver metastases, peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) were mobilized by either i.v. infusion of ETP (180 mg/m2/day for 3 days) or i.a. infusion of doxorubicin (100-120 mg/m2). In 3 (60%) of 5 patients, PBSC for PBSCT were harvested in effective quantities (CFU-GM > or = 2 x 10(5)/kg or CD 34 positive cells > or = 2 x 10(6)/kg). In these 3 patients, a repeated PIHP with either doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, or CDDP was carried out 4 weeks after the 1st PIHP. Thereafter, auto-PBSCT was intravenously administered 2 days after PIHP. In the repeated PIHP treatments, although anti-cancer drugs were administered at doses equivalent to or even higher than those administered at the 1st PIHP, bone marrow suppressions were transient and well tolerated. Fatal complications were not observed in any patients. These results indicate that with the combined use of PIHP and PBSCT, high-dose regional chemotherapy of the liver can be safely repeated without systemic toxicities.
