Abstract
A 53-year-old man who suffered from advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was treated with hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) of Etoposide, Epirubicin and CDDP. Treatment consisted of a continuous HAI of Epirubicin (50 mg/body, day 1.7), CDDP (75 mg/body, day 2.8) and Etoposide (80 mg/body, day 4-6). He had two series of infusions and was treated by transarterial embolization using CDDP powder (100 mg) added to lipiodol and aluminum stearate as suspension following HAI. The tumor regression rate was about 60% after HAI, but the remaining tumor seemed to be almost necrotic. AFP and PIVKA-II reached the normal range after TAE. We could not find lipiodol accumulated in tumor on CT carried out eight weeks after TAE. No recurrence has been noticed in the following 8 months. Toxicity was not so severe and was well tolerated.
