Abstract
Balloon-occuluded arterial infusion (BOAI) of bilateral internal iliac arteries produces high drug concentration as well as increased arterial flow of pelvic organs. Twenty-seven patients with primary and locally recurrent gynecologic malignancies were treated with BOAI of cisplatinum. Six of 10 patients with primary advanced uterine cancer and 5 of 11 patients with recurrent cancer showed clinical response. In 6 patients, BOAI was performed as an adjuvant therapy to radiation or other chemotherapy. Toxicity was similar to that seen with systemic treatment using cisplatinum, but its frequency and degree were less severe.
