Summary

This study tested a special pump placed under the skin that sends chemotherapy directly to the liver through the hepatic artery. It was for people with colorectal cancer that had spread to the liver and who had already tried other chemotherapies. The goal was to see if this direct delivery could shrink liver tumors better. 24 adults took part, and the treatment was given in 28-day cycles.
