Abstract

I strated49 5. 7, 10, 11 that protracted intraarterial Chemotherapy with cytotoxic agents is particularly effective in shrinking or causing transient complete regression in cancer. Rest results have been observed in head and neck, limb, and liver cancer, as the specific vascularization of these areas permits a high concentration of the drug in the tumor mass.
