Twenty-four women with ovarian carcinoma that had metastasized to the liver were treated with intrahepatic infusional therapy. No consistent drug regimen was used. There were no complete responders; however, 33% had a partial response. All responses were noticed after the first course of therapy. The median length of response was 6.3 months. The median survival from the time of the first hepatic infusion was 7.5 months for all patients. In this series, there were two treatment-related deaths, one secondary to the chemotherapy, the other to improper catheter placement. Because of the multiplicity of chemotherapy regimens employed, no definite conclusions can be made concerning the efficacy of intrahepatic infusional therapy for metastatic ovarian carcinoma. It is suggested that its future use be restricted to patients with disease limited to the liver and who are being treated according to a study protocol.
