Abstract

Epirubicin and 5-FU were administered through an indwelling catheter inserted into the internal mammary artery and/or subclavian artery employing an implantable infusion port system for the treatment of unresectable advanced breast cancer and recurrent breast cancer. Intraarterial infusion chemotherapy proved to be an effective treatment modality for unresectable advanced breast cancer and recurrent breast cancer.
