Arterial chemoembolization using degradable starch microspheres and adriamycin was combined with hyperthermia to treat advanced liver cancer. The prolonged peak adriamycin level in hepatic venous blood suggested that the drug persisted for longer in the liver after injection containing microspheres. Heating efficiency was increased more in tumor tissue than in normal liver tissue after embolization. This combined therapy was performed in eight patients with advanced liver cancer and was effective in three (complete or partial remission). The mean survival time was 25 weeks and there were no severe side effects. This combined therapy may be useful for liver cancer.

D004337 Drug Carriers Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres, soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
