Intraarterial infusion of 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine-C8 dissolved in a lymphographic agent in malignant liver tumors. A preliminary report

Abstract: The drug 5-fluoro-2-deoxyuridine-C8 (FUdR-C8), one of the lipophilic prodrugs of FUdR, was dissolved in an oily lymphographic agent (Lipiodol Ultra Fluid, Andre Gelbe Laboratory, Paris, France; Ethiodol, Savage Laboratories, Melville, NY) and used for the intraarterial treatment of malignant liver tumors. From August 1985 to June 1988, 33 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and 13 patients with metastatic liver tumors were treated with this agent at the Kumamoto University Hospital and its affiliated hospit… Show more

“…Lipiodol has the interesting property of having a very selective deposition within HCC in which it remains for several months after intraarterial bolus injection, whereas it quickly disappears from the cirrhotic nontumorous parenchyma (22,(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40). This is helpful for diagnosis and intrahepatic extension evaluation of HCC when a CT scan is performed 1 to 2 wk after injection (30,31,33,34).…”

“…This is helpful for diagnosis and intrahepatic extension evaluation of HCC when a CT scan is performed 1 to 2 wk after injection (30,31,33,34). Moreover, lipiodol acts as a selective carrier for internal radiotherapy with 1-131 (26)(27)(28), for the liposoluble styrene-maleic-acid-neocarzinostatin (29,301, 5-fluoro-deoxyuridin (39) and emulsified hydrosoluble agents such as doxorubicin (26,33,(35)(36)(37), mitomycin C (26,33,37), epirubicin (5) or cisplatin (36,38,40). The benefit of lipiodolization to survival has been clearly demonstrated in large-scale Asiatic trials (26,29,35,37,38); it has been shown to be vastly superior to systemic chemotherapy, embolization or chemoembolization (9, 13,16,23,25,29,35,36).…”

“…4) Numerous studies have reported that Lipiodol selectively delivers various antitumor drugs to tumors. [5][6][7][8][9] SMANCS, amphipathic polymer styrene maleic acid neocarzinostatin, was developed as an anticancer drug for use in this therapy. 5,[10][11][12] The widespread clinical use of SMANCS has revealed areas of effectiveness and a few problems.…”
