Abstract
Objective To investigate the efficacy and toxicity of infusion of chemotherapeutics through artery to treat advanced pancreatic carcinoma. Methods 46 patients with advanced pancreatic carcinoma were divided into experiment group ( n = 24) and control group ( n = 22). The way of administration of experiment group and control group were through artery or through vein respectively. Results Objective remission rate was 45.83% (11/24) clinical benefit rate was 58.33% (14/24) .median survival time was 16 months(from6 ～23months) in infusion-through-artery group, while those in infusion-through-vein group were18. 18% (4/22) ,27. 27% (6/22) ,7 months (from 3 -18months) respectively. All had significant diferences between two groups (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion To treat patients with advanced pancreatic carcinoma,transarterial infusion chemotherapeutics was more effective,the toxicity was endurable.
