Liver resection synchronous with hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) for colorectal cancer liver metastases is associated with improved survival compared to HAIP alone

Abstract

Objective: Experience with hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) for colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM) comes from few specialized centers. Little is known about its use in a large, population based cancer registry level. Methods: We contacted a case-only analysis of California Cancer Registry (CCR) data (2000e2012) to detect patients who underwent HAI pump (HAIP) for CRCLM.
