Intraportal mitomycin C (MMC: 4 mg) was given on the day of operation and on postoperative days 1-6. A preliminary pharmacokinetic study of intraportal MMC administration was performed in a rabbit model. A high first-pass extraction ratio was found at doses of 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg, and it decreased at the higher doses of 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg. The clinical dose of 4 mg corresponded to 0.05-0.1 mg/kg in the rabbit model and was considered to be within the optimal dose range. The side effects and clinical outcome for patients treated with intraportal MMC were compared with those for a control group. The controls included an MMC (+) group that received intravenous MMC, and a MMC (-) group that did not. The intraportal MMC group showed less toxicity compared with the MMC (+) group and a prospective effect on survival and liver metatstasls. These results suggested that our schedule for repetitive intraportal MMC was adequate.}, pages = {89--95}, title = { Clinical Trial of Repetitive Portal Administration of Anticancer Drug as a Prophylactic Modality for Liver Metastasis - A Pilot Study of the Optimal Dosage and Reduced Toxicity -}, volume = {7}, year = {1992} }
