Zusammenfassung

Die lokoregionale Chemotherapie der Lunge steht in Konkurrenz zu anderen Verfahren der perkutanen Tumorbehandlung. Die Applikation der Zytostatika über einen bronchialarteriellen Katheter ist zwar effektiv, hat sich aber wegen methodischer Schwierigkeiten nicht durchgesetzt. Das chirurgische Konzept der isolierten Lungenperfusion hat die Hoffnung geweckt, für die Chemotherapie auch den weniger aufwendigen Zugang über die A. pulmonalis wählen zu können. Im Tierexperiment erwies sich dabei die Kombination von Chemotherapie und Embolisation als überlegene Lösung. Die mit einer verwandten Technik erzielten klinischen Ergebnisse überzeugen aber nicht. Die pulmonalarterielle Chemotherapie stellt nur dann eine mögliche Alternative zur bronchialarteriellen Chemotherapie dar, wenn nachgewiesen ist, dass der Tumor aus der A. pulmonalis gespeist wird. Daher müssen vor der Entscheidung über eine Chemoembolisation der Lunge alle potenziell tumorversorgenden Gefäße identifiziert werden.

Abstract

Regional chemotherapy of the lungs competes with other techniques for percutaneous tumor treatment. Although effective, the application of cytostatic agents by means of a catheter placed in a bronchial artery has not been generally accepted because of procedural difficulties. The surgical concept of isolated lung perfusion raised hopes of performing chemotherapy via the more easily accessible pulmonary artery. Animal experiments proved the combination of chemotherapy and embolization to be the superior solution. However, the pertinent clinical results are unsatisfactory. Chemotherapy using a pulmonary catheter may be considered as being a potential alternative only for tumors where the vascular supply by the pulmonary artery is evident. Consequently, the identification of all potential tumor-supplying vessels is essential for the appropriate decision about chemoembolization of the lungs.
