A total of 86 patients with primary or metastatic cancer in the liver have had their hepatic artery infused with chemotherapeutic agents via a femoral artery catheter placement. A high volume technic was used with various chemotherapeutic agents, mostly 5‐FU. Results in colon primaries averaged 11.7 months as survivals in the responders; 29 of 45 patients in this group responded. Various other primaries were treated, and the results are given.
