Abstract

Eleven non-resectable cancer patients have been successfully treated by means of a one-shot and continuous intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy, utilizing an implantable vascular access device (Catheter Access) connected to a continuous infusion pump (Nipro portable syringe infusion pump) via a non-corning needle (Nipro coreless needle set). This result suggests that this simple and inexpensive method can be applied not only for cancer chemotherapy but also for intravenous hyper-alimentation and for treatment of epidural anesthesia.
